By on February 1, 2018

The Arena Guilherme Paraense in Belém, Brazil hosts the UFC this weekend. Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida takes on flying prospect Eryk Anders in the main event while a pretty top-heavy card is filled out Valentina Shevchenko and John Dodson in support.

Here are my picks for the card.
