UFC 202 is just two days away and after yesterday's press conference hijinx, anticipation for the rematch between featherweight champion, Conor McGregor and Number 4 ranked lightweight contender, Nate Diaz has reached or surpassed the furor surrounding the first fight. Fans are split on who they're picking to win the fight and there are more predictions, analytical breakdowns and dissections floating around than you can accurately count.
Bearing that in mind, Bloody Elbow content partner, Tommy Toehold has his standard Top 5 fighter picks from the card. Here's a quote to get you started before you check out the video:
"My number 2 pick is Tim Means. In addition of having a TON of high level experience, Means has won his last three via finish, he has 17 KO/TKOs and his opponent is a late replacement fighter who is just making his UFC debut. The veteran Means wins big early.
At number one we have Cody Garbrandt. I doubted this man in the past, but I will not do it again. When Cody lands those hands, you are going to sleep, and his opponent, while highly experienced, hasn't had a finish since 2011. If you give Cody Garbrandt three rounds to throw fists, he's going to put your lights out and he will on Saturday night."
