The UFC is on its home turf for its final event of the year, and a women’s featherweight title fight headlines the card.

UFC 219 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, women’s 145-pound champion Cris Cyborg (18-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) takes on former bantamweight champ Holly Holm (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC). Cyborg hasn’t lost since her MMA debut and is more than a 3-1 favorite in the fight. She’s the pick of seven of our 10 MMAjunkie editors, writers and radio hosts.

In the co-feature, unbeaten lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov (24-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) takes on Brazilian striker Edson Barboza (19-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC). Although Nurmagomedov is a 3-1 favorite, the fight is close from our pickers, who have given him just a slight 6-4 edge.

Also on the main card, Marc Diakiese (12-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) takes on Dan Hooker (14-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC) at lightweight and is an 8-2 choice from our staff members. Cynthia Calvillo (6-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has a 7-3 edge over Carla Esparza (12-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) in their strawweight fight. And to open the main card, Carlos Condit (30-10 MMA, 7-6 UFC) and Neil Magny (19-6 MMA, 12-5 UFC) are a dead heat at 5-5 in their welterweight fight.

In the MMAjunkie reader consensus picks, Cyborg, Nurmagomedov, Diakiese, Calvillo and Condit are the choices.
