We want your predictions for The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale main card, which takes place Saturday in Las Vegas.
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 TUF 24 Finale staff picks we release on Friday ahead of the event. The TUF 24 Finale takes place Saturday at The Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The card airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Because Demetrious Johnson’s opponent for the flyweight title won’t be revealed until late Wednesday following the final regular season episode of “The Ultimate Fighter,” we are offering an opportunity to make your pick for each of his potential challengers.)
