Welcome back to the Sherdog staff Pick 'Em, where we'll be picking six fights from the second of the Ultimate Fighting Championship's string of at least three events in Jacksonville, Florida.
For this week, we have a unique challenge, as Fight Night 171 is one of the most evenly matched UFC cards ever, with no fighter on the main card much higher than a -150 favorite. Accordingly, there are an unprecedented two ties among the pickers. With all of that out of the way, here are the Sherdog staff picks for UFC Fight Night 171: Smith vs. Teixeira.
