The UFC makes its triumphant entrance to Mexico on Saturday with UFC 180 on pay-per-view. Headlined by an interim heavyweight title fight, the card is full of Latin American talent and world-renowned stars alike.
Fabricio Werdum and Mark Hunt will battle for gold in the main feature, but there are some interesting prelims before that featuring the cast members of TUF Latin America. The winners will likely stick around, while the losers will head back to the regional circuit to hone their crafts.
Last weekend was up and down for picks. We stayed just above the .500 mark, which kept our solid record intact.
With that, let’s take a look at the preliminary card predictions for UFC 180 and make some picks.
