Main Event – Flyweight Championship

In the interest of full disclosure, this was written before I knew who Johnson's opponent would be, although it would have read exactly the same no matter whom he would be facing. It is also more of a rant than anything else.

I fully understand that the UFC needs to do whatever they can to build up contenders in their thin flyweight division. Johnson has already defeated every single worthy opponent, many of them on multiple occasions. I understand that no one has any interest in seeing him fight the same guys over and over. It's part of the reason why he isn't all that marketable. Still, you're going to tell me that since the UFC can't find a worthy challenger on their roster, they are going to find one from a reality show? Give me a break.

This isn't a knock on Mighty Mouse, who does everything that is asked of him – that being steamrolling all challengers placed in front of him. Nor is it a knock on Elliott, who has more than earned his opportunity of a lifetime. It's just a bad set of circumstances for everyone involved with no clear ending in sight. If Johnson rolls through Elliott, no one is going to look worse than the UFC.

Elliott has fought six times for the UFC in the past, the last being in February 2015. He was 2-4 in those contests, although five of those six fights were against high quality opposition. I was always of the feeling that Elliott is a quality fighter and never deserved to be cut in the first place, but he simply isn't on Johnson's level.

I'm all for a fighter being given a opportunity to pull off what would probably be the greatest upset in the history of the sport, but I am not all for the next challenger to the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world being determined by a reality show. No disrespect to Elliott, but I think you know my pick here.

THE PICK: Johnson

Co-Main Event – Flyweight

These are the two best flyweights in the world other than Johnson, and barring something extremely unforeseen, the winner of this fight is going to get the next shot at Mighty Mouse (assuming he beats Elliott)

Joe B is currently riding a five-fight winning streak dating back to April 2014. He has four losses in his professional career: two to Johnson, and two to current UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz. To recap, every single loss of Benavidez's career has come against the two guys that I currently consider to be the top-two pound-for-pound fighters in the world today. Joe B has a lot of power in his hands, although he hasn't shown much of it lately. He keeps himself in terrific shape, having seemingly not lost a single step despite now being 32-years-old.

A former Olympic gold medalist in freestyle wrestling, Cejudo was given his shot at Johnson in April. He was promptly knocked out in Round 1 in what would be the first loss of his professional career. Any success that Cejudo has in the cage is based off of his wrestling ability. The constant threat of the takedown allows him to vary his attacks on the feet. Cejudo's takedown accuracy over the course of his UFC career is a putrid 35 percent, but part of that is because he tends to try for so many takedowns.

I expect this to be a competitive fight that could easily go the distance. Joe B's last four wins have come via decision, as have all four of Cejudo's UFC victories. Benavidez has been one of the best fighters in the world for a long time, which makes him my pick and a deserved favorite. Still, I think Cejudo is a live underdog. Both his DraftKings salary and the Vegas odds are favorable for such a talented fighter.

THE PICK: Benavidez

Welterweight

I have been very critical of Ellenberger of late, although he silenced many of his critics with a first-round knockout win over Matt Brown in his last fight in July. Still, that is Ellenberger's only win in nearly four years over anyone who isn't Josh Koscheck. Brown's propensity to stand and trade played right into Ellenberger's strengths. It isn't going to be as easy against Masvidal. Ellenberger's footwork has all but vanished, and while he can win a fight if you stand in front of him and let him swing away, he is going to struggle immensely if his opposition forces him out of the pocket.

Masvidal is 1-2 in his last three fights dating back to almost exactly a year ago, but the two losses were split-decision setbacks against Lorenz Larkin and Benson Henderson. He took a clear unanimous decision from Ross Pearson in his last bout in July. Masvidal doesn't do much work in the submission game, but he lands a lot of strikes and he has always exhibited solid defense on the feet. He wins due to the volume that he throws, and that is the exact type of fighter who can give Ellenberger, who has shown a weak chin in the past, problems.

Ellenberger's win over Brown likely extended his career, but it does nothing for me in terms of his potential moving forward. He's still a well below-average welterweight at this point in his career. Other than landing one-punch that leads to an immediate stoppage, I don't see how Jake wins this fight. I just don't see anything to be gained by his continuing to fight, especially against dangerous opposition such as Masvidal.

THE PICK: Masvidal

Women's Bantamweight

Since the women first started competing in the UFC in early 2013, an argument can be made that no woman has had as disappointing of a run as McMann. A former Olympic silver medalist in freestyle wrestling at the 2004 summer games in Athens, McMann's record in the UFC stands at 3-3. All three losses have come against either current (Amanda Nunes) or former (Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate) UFC Women's Bantamweight Champions, but McMann hasn't been all that impressive in her wins, either. McMann trains out of a small camp in South Carolina, and there are legitimate questions about whether she just isn't getting the quality of training that she needs on a daily basis. She has averaged nearly five takedowns (4.87) per fight over the course of her career, while connecting at a 68 percent clip. Her greatest chance of victory is to earn a boring, grinding decision.

Davis has been on the sidelines for more than 17 months after taking time off due to her pregnancy. Davis is best remembered for being obliterated by Rousey in 16 seconds when she got her shot at UFC gold in July 2014, but she has won her other four UFC fights, including victories over Sarah Kaufman, Jessica Eye and Liz Carmouche. She also has a wins over Invicta champion Tonya Evinger and current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes (from back in their Strikeforce days). Davis won't overwhelm you in any one area, although there are no clear weaknesses in her game. McMann probably has more power, but I think Davis has more ways to win a fight.

The obvious question here is how much with Davis' time off impact her performance. Octagon rust is real, regardless of what Dominick Cruz may tell you. I trust Davis more moving forward than I do McMann, although Davis' takedown defense in her UFC career stands at just 50 percent, and that worries me in this fight. DFS players have to find upsets somewhere, and I think Davis is a good value here.

THE PICK: Davis
