Ronda Rousey, the queen of mixed martial arts, will once again grace the Octagon this Saturday night for UFC 170. This time, she’ll meet a fellow Olympic medalist and undefeated mixed martial artist in the form of wrestling powerhouse Sara McMann.
While McMann will look to solve the Rousey puzzle in the show’s main attraction, UFC 170’s co-main event is a peculiar one to say the least. Daniel Cormier, another Olympian (that makes a theme, and during the Winter Games no less), will welcome Patrick Cummins, a man who has all of four pro bouts to his name, to the fold.
Beyond the spectacle of the event’s headliners, UFC 170 will feature an additional nine fights, running the total to 11.
The UFC’s two most recent shows have been rather heavy on decisions. With a number of intriguing contests and the presence of several notable finishers, we’ll see whether or not UFC 170 will buck the trend.
In anticipation of Saturday night’s action, Bleacher Report has assembled its finest prediction crew, which proudly present you with our official staff picks.
We’ve got Craig “A-Plus” Amos, “Rowdy” Riley Kontek, James “The Man” MacDonald, Sean “Slam Dunk” Smith and Scott “H-Bomb” Harris at your service.
