Welcome back to the Sherdog staff Pick 'Em League, where this weekend we take our best shot at the Ultimate Fighting Championship's final, massive pay-per-view offering of 2019, UFC 245.
As it turns out, the always-controversial Colby Covington is also the most divisive underdog on the bill, with 41 percent of the staff favoring "Chaos" to topple welterweight champ Kamaru Usman in the main event. Of particular note among the pickers this week is Sherdog editor-in-chief Mike Fridley, who is the only one of 16 individual pickers and 11 Hive Mind members to predict that all three titles will change hands on Saturday, replicating the stunning challenger hat trick of UFC 217. If events bear out this bold prediction, we will praise him as effusively as we think we can before being accused of sucking up to the boss.
Without further ado, here are the Sherdog staff picks for UFC 245: Usman vs. Covington.
