The UFC is in the Middle East this weekend for UFC 294. The event was supposed to feature a rematch between Islam Makhachev vs. Charles Oliveira for the UFC lightweight title. However, due to an injury to Do Bronx, the event now features a rematch between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski for the UFC lightweight title.

There’s also Khamzat Chimaev vs. Kamaru Usman. Usman comes in for Paulo Costa who decided to book a fight despite needing elbow surgery was a good idea.

We’ll be making staff picks for all these and we’d love you to join in the fun, too. So you know the drill by now, fill out the form below and let us know who you think will win come Saturday night.

Your picks will be shared in an article that drops on Saturday. For realsies this time.

I wasn’t able to post your picks last Saturday because I was rocked a bout of toddler plague (first of the season!). If anyone has small children in pre-school or daycare, you know what I’m talking about.

If you want to fill out the UFC 294 reader picks’ form, you can find it below:
