The UFC is back in Texas with a key welterweight at the top of the card.
UFC on ESPN 4 takes place Saturday at AT&T Center in San Antonio. The card airs on ESPN.
(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)
In the main event, former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos (29-11 MMA, 18-9 UFC) takes on rising standout Leon Edwards (17-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) in a welterweight bout. The fight is a close one with the oddsmakers, who have made Edwards a slight favorite. But a whopping 12 of our 14 MMA Junkie editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers are picking dos Anjos to win.
In the co-feature, Walt Harris (12-7 MMA, 5-6 UFC) meets submission specialist Aleksei Oleinik (57-12-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in a heavyweight bout. Harris is a slight favorite, but he has just an 8-6 edge in the picks.
Also on the main card, Juan Adams (5-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) meets Greg Hardy (4-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in a heavyweight bout. The fight is a pick’em as far as the odds are concerned, but Hardy has a 9-5 edge from our staff members.
Dan Hooker (17-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) takes on Texas’ own James Vick (13-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in a lightweight bout that many think will be in consideration for “Fight of the Night.” Hooker is a mild favorite, but has a 9-5 edge in the picks.
Alexander Hernandez (10-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) nearly is a 2-1 favorite in his lightweight fight with Francisco Trinaldo (23-6 MMA, 13-5 UFC), and he nearly is a unanimous pick from our staff members. Only one brave picker is taking Trinaldo for an upset.
And to open the main card, former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski (27-18 MMA, 16-12 UFC) takes on fellow veteran Ben Rothwell (36-11 MMA, 6-5 UFC). Rothwell is about a 2-1 favorite, and he has a big 10-4 picks edge.
In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Dos Anjos (N/A), Oleinik (60 percent), Adams (57 percent), Hooker (64 percent), Hernandez (66 percent) and Rothwell (60 percent) are the choices.
Check out all the picks above.
