The UFC stays home in Las Vegas this week with a key bantamweight matchup at the top of the bill.

(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)

In the main event, former interim bantamweight title challenger Cory Sandhagen (14-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC) takes on Song Yadong (19-6-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC). Sandhagen is a 2-1 favorite at Tipico Sportsbook; the comeback on Yadong is +150. Our 11 editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers have Sandhagen a near-unanimous pick at 10-1.

The co-main event is a middleweight bout between former Bellator fighter and Dana White’s Contender Series product Chidi Njokuani (22-7 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Gregory Rodrigues (12-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC). Njokuani is just a slight favorite at -125, but he’s got a huge lead from our pickers and is nearly unanimous at 10-1.

Also on the main card, Bill Algeo (16-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC) takes on Andre Fili (21-9 MMA, 9-8 UFC) at featherweight. Fili is a -135 favorite and has an outsized 9-2 picks lead, despite the close odds.

The only unanimous pick on the card is Contender Series signee Joe Pyfer (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who is the event’s biggest favorite at -520 for his middleweight fight against Alen Amedovski (8-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC). Pyfer has a shutout from our staff members at 11-0.

Tanner Boser (20-8-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC) takes on Rodrigo Nascimento (8-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in a heavyweight tilt that has Boser a -180 favorite. He’s got a big 8-3 lead in the picks.

And to open the main card, Marc-Andre Barriault (14-5 MMA, 3-4 UFC) meets Anthony Hernandez (9-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at middleweight. Hernandez is a -210 favorite, but our pickers have it as the most contentious fight on the main card. Hernandez has the slimmest possible lead at 6-5.

In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Sandhagen (71 percent), Njokuani (66 percent), Fili (51 percent), Pyfer (89 percent), Boser (72 percent) and Hernandez (64 percent) are the choices.
