Welcome to the first edition of Cageside Press Staff Picks! This week we look at the main card of UFC 211.

For each UFC event from here on out, the Cageside Press staff will be submitting their picks for the main card bouts. The records of each writer will be kept for the duration of 2017.

The loss of Henry Cejudo vs. Sergio Pettis from the UFC 211 main card hurts, but in its place is a great middleweight bout between Krzysztof Jotko and David Branch. The stacked card is headlined by the heavyweight title rematch between Stipe Miocic and Junior dos Santos, and the strawweight title bout between Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jessica Andrade.
