MMAjunkie reader predictions: Make your picks for UFC 195

Robbie Lawler

To start off a fresh year of picks in 2016, we want your predictions for Saturday’s UFC 195 event in Las Vegas.

In late 2015, we expanded upon our traditional staff picks to include the consensus picks from MMAjunkie readers. We’ll continue that in the new year. 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 195 staff picks we release on Friday, which is the eve of the event. UFC 195 takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The event airs on pay-per-view and FOX Sports 1 and streams 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.)
