Like his past three bouts, Ben Rothwell is again the underdog at the sports books, but when it comes to MMAjunkie’s staff picks for UFC Fight Night 86, he’s the overwhelming favorite over former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos.

Among our nine MMAjunkie writers, editors ad radio hosts, eight expect Rothwell (36-9 MMA, 6-3 UFC) to defeat Dos Santos (17-4 MMA, 11-3 UFC).

UFC Fight Night 86 takes place today at Zagreb Arena in Zagreb, Croatia. The card airs on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

In other action, Derrick Lewis (14-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) is a unanimous 9-0 choice over heavyweight Gabriel Gonzaga (17-10 MMA, 12-9 UFC), newcomer Curtis Blaydes (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is a 7-2 pick over heavyweight Francis Ngannou (6-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), newcomer Marcin Tybura (13-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is a narrow 5-4 choice over Timothy Johnson (9-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), Jan Blachowicz (18-5 MMA, 1-2 UFC) is the 8-1 choice over light heavyweight Igor Pokrajac (25-12 MMA, 4-7 UFC), and Maryna Moroz (6-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) is an 8-1 pick over strawweight Cristina Stanciu (5-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC).

In the MMAjunkie reader consensus picks, Rothwell (55%), Lewis (66%), Ngannou (65%), Johnson (54%), Blachowicz (74%) and Moroz (69%) have the edge.
