Mixed martial arts fans have barely had time to take a breath over the past couple of weeks with the UFC’s relentless schedule picking up steam. Saturday night’s stacked UFC 172 card out of Baltimore is either a blessing or a curse, depending on one’s perspective.
For those of us who would gladly spend every hour of every day consuming MMA content, UFC 172 has plenty of treats in store. Jon Jones will defend his light heavyweight title against Glover Teixeira, and Phil Davis takes on Anthony Johnson in a battle of top contenders at 205 pounds. Luke Rockhold vs. Tim Boetsch, Jim Miller vs. Yancy Medeiros and Max Holloway vs. Andre Fili round out the main card.
As always, Bleacher Report’s main card prediction team is on hand to offer our take on Saturday night’s entertainment. Read on for the thoughts of Scott Harris, Riley Kontek, Sean Smith, Craig Amos and me, James MacDonald.
