The Octagon returns to Mexico City this Saturday for UFC 188. The pay-per-view event is headlined by a heavyweight match in which one of two champions will unify the title.

Cain Velasquez is a two-time champion in the division. He defeated Junior dos Santos to recapture his title back in 2012 and has since defended it twice. Injuries have limited his activity, but the champ remains one of the best mixed martial artists in the world.

Fabricio Werdum is the interim heavyweight champion. He defeated Mark Hunt for the honor last year, capping off a five-fight win streak with a second-round TKO. That victory came on the UFC’s first visit to Mexico City.

Beyond the main event, UFC 188 features an additional four main card fights and a total of 12 overall.

Bleacher Report’s team of some good prognosticators and some…struggling ones is here to give you their picks for the UFC 188 main card. It’s Riley “Kingslayer” Kontek, Sean “Stormborn” Smith, James “Mother of Dragons” MacDonald, Scott “Hodor” Harris and Craig “Aegon” Amos back with their predictions for this monumental occasion.
