Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold (12-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) is the choice of all eight MMAjunkie writers and radio hosts over perennial contender Michael Bisping (25-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 55 main event.

UFC Fight Night 55 takes place Friday at Allphones Arena in Sydney. The entire event streams on UFC Fight Pass.

The other three fights on the main card, though, nearly are unanimous.

In the co-main event, lightweights Al Iaquinta (9-3-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Ross Pearson (16-7 MMA, 8-4 UFC) will tangle. Six of our eight staff members like Pearson in the fight. Seven of eight like Clint Hester (11-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) to beat Australia’s Robert Whittaker (12-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC), and seven of eight believe home favorite Soa Palelei (21-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC) will top Walt Harris (7-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC) at heavyweight.

Check out the full picks above.

Additionally, leave your main-card picks below. As usual, MMAjunkie reader “IAMMA” is organizing the MMAjunkie Member Picks, where “Walter White” and “sadowolf” are our overall leaders in some closely contested categories.
