This is it: the final staff picks of 2017.
The last card of the calendar year sees UFC 219 going down tomorrow night from the T-Mobile Arena from Las Vegas, Nevada. In the main event, two of the greatest-named female mixed martial artists will battle for the UFC Featherweight Championship: Cris Cyborg and Holly Holm. Current champion Cyborg looks to earn her 19th straight victory and a second title defense, while Holm will attempt to become the first ever UFC female fighter to have held two belts in two separate weight classes.
In the co-main event, undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov hopes to earn his 25th victory with a battle against one of the most intelligent strikers on the planet Edson Barboza. A title shot will likely be received with whoever comes out victorious.
