Who You Got? Sherdog Staff Pick 'Em: UFC 251

Welcome back to the Sherdog Staff Pick 'Em league, where this week we will turn our powers of competitive prognostication towards UFC 251: Usman vs. Masvidal, the first in a month-long blitz of events from the UFC's new "Fight Island" facility in the United Arab Emirates.

There are quite a few lopsided picks this week, some more expected than others. It's no shocker that the thus far utterly dominant welterweight champ, Kamaru Usman, is heavily favored to derail the remarkable Cinderella story that has been Jorge Masvidal's recent career, or that the red-hot Amanda Ribas is the unanimous pick to beat Paige VanZant. It's mildly surprising, though, that over 80 percent of the team favors Rose Namajunas to avenge herself on Jessica Andrade, a woman who knocked her silly in her last fight. Time will tell if we're the ones looking silly on Sunday morning.

Without further preamble, here are the Sherdog staff picks for UFC 251.
