UFC Fight Night 214 takes place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The card streams on ESPN+.

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

In the main event, Marina Rodriguez (16-1-2 MMA, 6-1-2 UFC) takes on Amanda Lemos (12-2-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC) at 115 pounds. Rodriguez is a -240 favorite at Tipico Sportsbook; the comeback on Lemos is +180. Our 11 editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers are going with Rodriguez unanimously.

In the co-feature, perennial welterweight contender Neil Magny (26-10 MMA, 19-8 UFC) takes on Daniel Rodriguez (17-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC). Magny is a slight favorite at -125, but our staff members are going with Rodriguez at a hefty 9-2 clip.

Also on the main card, Josh Parisian (15-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) meets Chase Sherman (16-10 MMA, 4-9 UFC) in a heavyweight bout. Sherman is a slight favorite at -140, and he has a 7-4 lead in the picks.

Tagir Ulanbekov (14-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) is more than a 2-1 favorite in his flyweight bout against Nate Maness (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and has a big 9-2 picks lead.

And to open the main card, Grant Dawson (18-1-1 MMA, 6-0-1 UFC) is a -220 favorite in his lightweight bout against the unbeaten Mark Madsen (12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC). But despite that, our staff pickers are bucking the odds and have Madsen near unanimous at 10-1.

In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Marina Rodriguez (74 percent), Daniel Rodriguez (60 percent), Parisian (59 percent), Ulanbekov (57 percent) and Dawson (56 percent) are the choices.
