The Octagon is in Kansas City today for UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Allen. And we are back with another edition of the Bloody Elbow Community Picks, a space where you can see what select readers of our publication think will happen on fight night.
Last week, at UFC 287, the readers went 5-7, so they will be itching to get a positive record this time around. In the main event, they are going for former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway to beat the rising Arnold Allen (much like our staffers are). In the co-main they think Billy Quarantillo will get past the veteran striker Edson Barboza.
Other interesting picks from the community include Rafa Garcia being heavily fancied to beat Clay Guida and Chris Gutierrez picked to defeat Pedro Munhoz.
When asked who they think will win a Performance of the Night award tonight, the readers went with Holloway and Quarantillo. When asked what fight wins Fight of the Night and which fight they were most excited for, the vast majority said the main event, Holloway vs. Allen, for both answers.
You can check out all our community’s picks below. And if you want to get in on the action (and be eligible for a prize when the season concludes) head on over to Substack. The community picks are a premium feature available to paid subscribers on Substack.
