UFC Fight Night 98 is here after an extended break due to UFC Fight Night 97’s cancellation (h/t Danny Segura of MMA Fighting) in October.

Headlining will be a possible lightweight title eliminator between Rafael dos Anjos and Tony Ferguson. The stakes are incredibly high with Conor McGregor’s shot at history looming on November 12. These are just two of a growing list of contenders looking to make an impression to get the coveted shot at either Eddie Alvarez or McGregor.

Also on the card are Diego Sanchez, Charles Oliveira, Ricardo Lamas and Beneil Dariush. And UFC newcomers Marcin Held and Alexa Grasso make their debuts as well. It’s a fantastic card to lead into the UFC 205 fight card. And we are here to debate who we think gets their hand raised for all six main card bouts.

B/R luminaries Craig Amos, Steven Rondina and Nathan McCarter are on the call.

Who dissents and where are the consensus picks on the card? It’s time to find out.
