It has been a crazy fight week to say the least, as UFC on Fuel 9 approaches. Between April Fool’s Day shenanigans and a new main event, UFC fans have been at the edge of their seat in the week leading up to the Octagon’s return to Sweden.
The main attraction sees Strikeforce import Gegard Mousasi, a former champion in that company, take on Alexander Gustafsson teammate Ilir Latifi, who takes the fight on less than a week’s notice. Latifi is a native of Sweden, giving him the hometown advantage against a seasoned, proven veteran in Mousasi.
So, as UFC on Fuel 9 approaches, Bleacher Report is proud to present the main card picks as chosen by a select bunch of staff members. Scott Harris, Sean Smith, McKinley Noble, James MacDonald and myself, Riley Kontek, have carefully selected our projected winners for the weekend to give you better insight into each fight.
