UFC 208: Holm vs. De Randamie Main Card Staff Picks
UFC 208 kicks off 2017’s pay-per-view slate with a brand new title, and Cage Pages has their picks ready.
UFC 208 has been panned by fans for its less-than-impressive main event battle for a meaningless title in an empty division. Importance aside, there are fun fights all over the card for fans to enjoy.

Going 2-4 were five writers. Picking just one of six fights correctly were two writers. Lastly, two more writers achieved the rare 0-6 goose egg.
The five-fight main card in Brooklyn reads as follows:

Aside from the main event, our picks are very clear cut. All but one writer picked Jacare Souza in his questionable matchup against Tim Boetsch. Both Dustin Poirier and Glover Teixeira received 18 of 20 picks. 16 writers still believe in The Spider against Derek Brunson. Lastly, our staff was split right down the middle for the main event, with 10 writers picking Germaine De Randamie and Holly Holm each.
