UFC 206 Staff Predictions: Pay-Per-View Main Card

Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

UFC 206 has been battered and bruised by a series of unfortunate events, but solid fights are still set to go down and Cage Pages has their predictions.

With a half-interim featherweight title on the line in the main event (Pettis cannot win the title due to his missed weight), UFC 206 is the outcome of a messy situation. However, the four preceding main card bouts are excellent matchups that are sure to produce fireworks.

UFC Albany was about as successful as it gets for Cage Pages, with 16 writers going a perfect 4-0 for the card in which all 12 favorites won, and only two writers slipped up on just one fight. Everybody’s record received quite the boost heading into Canada.

    Next: UFC 206: Choi vs. Swanson Could Steal the Show

    Similar to yesterday’s Albany card, UFC 206 is full of one-sided picks. Donald Cerrone was picked unanimously over Matt Brown by Cage Pages’ 18 writers. Just one writer sided with Anthony Pettis in the main event. Doo Ho Choi’s hype train should keep chugging along, receiving 12 picks to Swanson’s six. Lastly, recently unretired duo Tim Kennedy and Jordan Mein both received 13 votes over their opponents.
