There are a pair of unanimous picks from our staff members for tonight’s UFC 199 card, and one of them is a title fight.

In the main event, Luke Rockhold (15-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) is a heavy favorite against Michael Bisping (28-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC), who takes the middleweight title fight on short notice. And all nine of our MMAjunkie editors, writers and radio hosts think the champion will retain his title.

To open up the main card on pay-per-view, Dustin Poirier (19-4 MMA, 11-3 UFC) is favored against Bobby Green (23-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in their lightweight bout, and he’s a 9-0 pick by our crew.

The co-main event sees bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz (21-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) put his title on the line against heated rival Urijah Faber (33-8 MMA, 9-4 UFC). Their fight is a trilogy rematch, and each of them has a victory over the other – though Faber’s win more than nine years ago. Seven of our nine staffers are picking Cruz to retain his belt, with only two picking Faber to pull the upset and finally become a UFC champ in his fourth title shot.

Also on the main card, Max Holloway (15-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) is a 6-3 pick over Ricardo Lamas (16-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC) in their featherweight bout. And at middleweight, ex-Bellator champ Hector Lombard (34-5-1 MMA, 3-3 UFC) is a 7-2 pick over former PRIDE champ Dan Henderson (31-14 MMA, 8-8 UFC).

In the MMAjunkie reader consensus picks, Rockhold, Cruz, Holloway, Lombard and Poirier are the choices.

UFC 199 takes place Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
