After a year or two off, the Sherdog staff pick'em league is back for the 2019 season, and what better way than to kick off than with the debut event on ESPN+?

The league is composed of 17 editors and contributors from around the world, plus The Hive Mind -- a poll of the brilliant, dedicated Sherdog forum administrators and moderators. Each week, everyone will submit a set of straight picks for the main card of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Bellator MMA or another major event. Most accurate picker wins -- it's that simple.

This week, there's already plenty of dissension in the ranks, as Gregor Gillespie was the only fighter unanimously picked to win. There's also quite a bit of underdog love, with only five of the 18 pickers going with favorites across the board. Check back next week as we laud the winners and shame the losers!
