Illustation of Amanda Nunes.
The lioness and her prey. By Chris Rini.

With the UFC back this weekend it’s time for another round of Bloody Elbow’s Insider Picks. That’s when you, the Founding Members of our Substack, get a chance to write something for our site.

At the bottom of this post is a survey you can fill out to share your picks for this weekend’s UFC event, which features Amanda Nunes defending her UFC bantamweight title against Irene Aldana in the main event. The co-main is a fascinating match-up between Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush.


Paid subscribers are directly supporting the new and independent Bloody Elbow. Subscriptions on Substack pay our writers and make it so we can continue to cover combat sports like no one else.


Your responses will be collected and shared on BloodyElbow.com.

By making picks you will also be entered into our year long picking contest, which offers prizes for the best fight prognosticators in our community.

If you want to make picks, but don’t want to write explanations for them, you can do that in our regular Readers Picks survey (which is for all paid subscribers here on Substack).

We have a UFC title on the line this weekend at UFC 289: Amanda Nunes vs. Irene Aldana. Will the Lioness continue to pad her resume as the greatest woman to ever to do this insane sport, or will the late replacement stun the world and emulate what Julianna Pena did in taking the UFC bantamweight title from the Brazilian's clutches.
