The UFC is back in Canada this week, and the featherweight title is on the line.
UFC 240 takes place Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)
In the main event, featherweight champion Max Holloway (20-4 MMA, 16-4 UFC) puts his title on the line against former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar (23-6-1 MMA, 17-6-1 UFC). The oddsmakers have made Holloway a heavy favorite at 4-1, and a whopping 12 of our 14 MMA Junkie editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers are picking Holloway to win.
In the co-feature, former women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg (20-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) tries to get back on track against the unbeaten Felicia Spencer (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC). Cyborg is a big favorite at 7-1, and she has a big 12-2 lead in our picks.
Also on the main card, Geoff Neal (11-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is more than a 3-1 favorite in his welterweight fight against Niko Price (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC). But our staff members are split right down the middle at 7-7.
The middleweight fight between Olivier Aubin-Mercier (11-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and Arman Tsarukyan (13-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) is split down the middle, as well, despite Tsarukyan’s status as a favorite of more than 2-1.
And to open the main card, even though he’s just a -160 favorite, Krzysztof Jotko (20-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) has a 13-1 picks edge in his middleweight fight against Marc-Andre Barriault (11-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC).
In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Holloway (78%), Cyborg (79 percent), Neal (58 percent), Aubin-Mercier (64 percent) and Jotko (71 percent) are the choices.
Check out all the picks above.
