TUF Nations Finale staff picks: Bisping or Kennedy? Cote or Noke?

While MMAjunkie writers and radio hosts were split on most of their picks, they all agreed on one thing: Dustin Poirier (15-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) should beat heavy underdog Akira Corassani (12-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC) on Wednesday at the TUF Nations Finale.

The event takes place at Colisee Pepsi in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Five fights are part of the FOX Sports 1-televised main card.

The MMAjunkie staffers had differing opinions on the middleweight headliner between rivals Michael Bisping (24-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) and Tim Kennedy (17-4 MMA 2-0 UFC), as well as the welterweight co-headliner between “TUF Nations” coaches Patrick Cote (19-8 MMA, 6-8 UFC) and Kyle Noke (20-6-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC).

They were also split on the “TUF Nations” tournament finals of middleweights Sheldon Westcott (8-1-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) vs. Elias Theodorou (8-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and welterweights Chad Laprise (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) vs. Olivier Aubin-Mercier (4-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
