MMAjunkie reader predictions: Make your picks for UFC 197's title doubleheader

We want your predictions for Saturday’s UFC 197 event, which marks the organization’s return to pay-per-view.

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 197 staff picks we release on Friday, which is the eve of the event. UFC 197 takes place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The card airs on PPV following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and 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.)
