We want your predictions for Saturday’s event, “UFC Fight Night 85: Hunt vs. Mir.”
In late 2015, we expanded upon our traditional staff picks to include the consensus picks from MMAjunkie readers. Simply cast your vote for each bout below, and we’ll use the official tallies that are registered by Thursday at noon ET (9 a.m. PT).
Those MMAjunkie MMA reader consensus picks will be part of the UFC Fight Night 85 staff picks we release on Friday, which is the eve of the event. UFC Fight Night 85 takes place at Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The card airs on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
(NOTE: MMAjunkie reader “IAMMA” will collect your picks for the official readers contest on Friday. As usual, they’ll be tallied in the comments section of the official staff picks story.)
