UFC Vegas 114: Josh Emmett vs. Kevin Vallejos picks and predictions
See who we think will win in the T-Mobile Arena this weekend.
The UFC is back in the APEX for the first time since early February this weekend. And they certainly have a card that’s worthy of the surroundings.
This weekend’s main event is Josh Emmett vs. Kevin Vallejos. The co-main is Amanda Lemos vs. Gillian Robertson. Outside of those fights there’s a couple of decent scraps, including Chris Curtis vs. Myktybek Orolbai, and some appearances from interesting prospects, including Bia Mesquita and Manoel Sousa.
It’s not an excellent card, by any stretch, but have you seen some of the ones we have coming down the pipe? Yikes.
Anyways, we’ve done our best to pick winners on this card. We did excellent last week (not including the main event — where everyone, other than Nate, picked Max Holloway). We were 11-6, as a group, on the entire card (including the over/unders for the main card).
Blaine did the best last week, going 13-4. That moved him up two spots in our standings. I’m on the top right now, thanks to my perfect record on making lock picks. Last week I went for Alberto Montes.
