For the first time in its history, the UFC has touched down in mainland China this week.

UFC Fight Night 122 takes place Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai. The entire card streams on UFC Fight Pass. (With the time difference, the prelims start at 3:45 a.m. ET and the main card starts at 7 a.m. ET.)

(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)

In the main event, former middleweight champion Michael Bisping (30-8 MMA, 20-8 UFC), who just lost his title three weeks ago in the UFC 217 main event, fills in for Anderson Silva on short notice. He takes on Kelvin Gastelum (13-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC), who is a 3-1 favorite. Of our 10 MMAjunkie editors, writers and radio hosts, only two are going with Bisping in the headliner.

In the co-main event, Li Jingliang (13-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is a slight favorite in his welterweight bout against Zak Ottow (15-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC). Eight of our 10 pickers are going with China’s Jingliang to give his home fans a thrill.

Also on the main card, Alex Caceres (13-10 MMA, 8-8 UFC) has a 7-3 edge over Chinese newcomer Wang Guan (16-1-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in their featherweight fight. And to open the main card, only two pickers are taking slight underdog Alex Garcia (14-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) to top Russian newcomer Muslim Salikhov (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in their welterweight bout.

In the MMAjunkie reader consensus picks, Bisping, Jingliang, Caceres and Salikhov are the choices.

Check out all the picks above.
