UFC 190 staff picks: Anyone brave (delusional?) enough to pick Correia over Rousey?

Is anyone – anyone – picking Bethe Correia to score a seemingly impossible upset over women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey in Saturday’s UFC 190 pay-per-view headliner? Not ’round these parts.

In our UFC 190 staff picks, all nine writers, editors and radio hosts are picking Rousey (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) over big underdog Correia (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) when they clash on pay-per-view at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena.

In fact, there wasn’t a whole lot of dissension overall. In the co-headliner, Mauricio Rua (22-10 MMA, 6-8 UFC) is the 8-1 choice over fellow light heavyweight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (21-6 MMA, 4-3 UFC), Stefan Struve (25-7 MMA, 9-4 UFC) is the 6-3 pick over heavyweight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (34-9-1 MMA, 5-5 UFC), Antonio Silva (18-7 MMA, 2-4 UFC) got the 7-2 nod over heavyweight Soa Palelei (22-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC), and Claudia Gadelha (12-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) is the 6-3 favorite over strawweight Jessica Aguilar (19-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC).

In the “TUF: Brazil 4? tournament finals, Fernando Bruno (15-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is the 5-4 favorite over lightweight Glaico Franca (12-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC), and Dileno Lopes (18-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is the 9-0 pick over bantamweight Reginaldo Vieira (12-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
