Well, we did it. We picked fights on a slew of rough cards and finally made it to an event with some sexy match-ups. UFC 290 has two title fights scheduled. In the main event UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski will meet interim champ Yair Rodriguez so that two belts may become one. In the co-main UFC flyweight champ Brandon Moreno defends his belt against Alexandre Pantoja.


Bloody Elbow is independent now. That means there’s no corporation to bail us out when we’re in trouble. We keep our heads above water thanks to folks who support us on Substack. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up a paid sub.


There’s also Robert Whittaker vs. Dricus Du Plessis and appearances from rising stars Bo Nickal, Jack Della Maddalena (in a bout I’m not crazy about) and Tatsuro Taira.

Now it’s time for you to tell us who you think will win these exciting match-ups?

Readers who make picks get entered into our staff standings (you can see the top 20 here). Whoever is top of that pile when the year ends will be crowned our 2023 reader picks champ!

So get in on the action, have some fun, and see your picks up on BloodyElbow.com
