After a week off last week, the UFC returns with a loaded 14-fight card, including Anthony Smith in the headlining slot. The predictions from the MMA Empire team, along with our guest picker, can be found below for the six-fight main card.
Our guest picker for this event is Canadian featherweight prospect Seth Connor (1-2). After a lengthy 8-5 amateur career, Connor picked up his first win as a professional in his most recent bout at BTC 9, a submission win over Luke Hogg. Connor will look to make it two straight wins when he takes on Navid Zanganeh at BFL 69 on Oct. 1.
