UFC 282 main card - Who are the pros picking?
UFC 282 has a reasonably stacked main card consisting of five fights. Let's take a look at which fighters are the favorites to win on December 10 according to some UFC fighters.
UFC heavyweight contender Curtis Blaydes thinks that the younger fighter Magomed Ankalaev will get his hand raised against Jan Blachowicz. In a recent interview with James Lynch, 'Razor' opined that if the fight had taken place a few years ago, the Polish fighter would've had the upper hand:
"I got Ankalaev, I think just the youth. I think Blachowicz, four years ago, yeah, I'd probably go with him, but just the youth. I think he'll slow down and Ankalaev will be able to swarm him."

In a video posted to his Instagram, UFC welterweight contender Belal Muhammad stated that Jared Gordon will triumph against Paddy Pimblett on December 10:
"I'm going with my boy Jared. Stylistically, I think Jared is going to be a little too much for him. I think Jared is better everywhere and Jared has been fighting the tougher competition."

In a recent interview with James Lynch, former UFC welterweight title challenger Stephen Thompson picked Bryce Mitchell to win against Ilia Topuria at UFC 282. 'Wonderboy' said that 'Thug Nasty's superior ground game and durability will get him the win against the Georgian-Spaniard.
