Welcome back to the Sherdog Staff Pick 'Em, where this week we will take our best shot at UFC Fight Night 198.
"UFC Vegas 43" wraps up a stretch of 10 shows in 10 weeks for the UFC, and it's definitely a quiet lineup of fights compared to the last few weeks, but there is a surprising amount of parity on the card. Of the dozen fights scheduled for the UFC Apex this Saturday, over half of them feature a favorite no higher than -150, and several are virtually even, according to the sports books. One of those close favorites is co-main event participant Sean Brady; the red-hot welterweight prospect who has drawn his first Top-10 assignment in longtime contender Michael Chiesa. The oddsmakers favor him by a slight margin to pass the test, and so do the Pick 'Em participants.
Without further preamble, here are the Sherdog staff picks for UFC Fight Night 198 "Vieira vs. Tate."
