    Next: UFC Mexico: Charles Oliveira Over by Entire Weight Class

    The closest result from Cage Pages’ 19 members is in the co-main event, with Diego Sanchez receiving just one more vote than leg-lock specialist Marcin Held. Despite missing weight by nine pounds, Charles Oliveira took home 11 of the 19 picks against Ricardo Lamas, as did Beneil Dariush. Cage Pages favors Martin Bravo over Claudio Puelles in the TUF Latin America 3 Finale fight. The main event featured the second-largest gap of the event, with Rafael dos Anjos bringing in 13 picks to Tony Ferguson’s six. Lastly, only two writers were willing to pick against top prospect Alexa Grasso.
