On to the second UFC event of 2018.
Tomorrow night, January 20th, UFC 220 goes down from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. In the main event, current UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic looks to defend his belt for the third time against first-time challenger Francis Ngannou in what looks to be one of the most anticipated heavyweight title fights in MMA history. A second title fight is slated for the night’s co-main event, seeing title holder Daniel Cormier battle another first-time challenger Volkan Oezdemir for the UFC Light Heavyweight championship.
The WINNER of staff picks will have a chance to receive a custom-made championship belt from ProAmBelts following completion of the 2018 calendar year! The 2017 winner was awarded to Wesley Riddle, compiling a record of 118-74 for main card fights. A visual of the potential-earned belt will be shown in a future staff picks article.
This year, the addition of Bellator staff picks will come into play in part with UFC picks.
