The UFC puts on one of the biggest cards in its history today with three title fights at the top of the bill, including one of the most anticipated rematches ever.

UFC 214 takes place at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FXX and UFC Fight Pass.

(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)

In the main event, light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) takes on former champ and heated rival Jon Jones (22-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC). The two fought at UFC 182 more than two years ago, and Jones won a unanimous decision when he was champ.

Things have changed plenty since then. Jones was stripped of the belt and Cormier won it. Then Jones won an interim title, only to have that stripped, as well. Still, despite just one fight since he first fought Cormier, Jones is more than a 2-1 favorite at the sports books. He also has the edge in the picks from our 10 MMAjunkie editors, writers and radio hosts, but just by a 6-4 margin.

In the co-feature, welterweight champ Tyron Woodley (17-3-1 MMA, 7-2-1 UFC) defends his belt against Demian Maia (25-6 MMA, 19-6 UFC). Maia brings a seven-fight winning streak into his title shot, but Woodley is the favorite, and he’s the pick of nine of our 10 staff members.

The night’s first title fight will see the vacant women’s featherweight title get a new home. Former Invicta FC featherweight champ Cristiane Justino (17-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is more than a 13-1 favorite against former Invicta FC bantamweight titleholder Tonya Evinger (19-5 MMA, 0-0 UFC). And not surprisingly, with odds stacked that highly in her favor, “Cyborg” is the lone unanimous pick at the event.

Also on the main card, Donald Cerrone (32-7 MMA, 19-4 UFC) takes on former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler (27-11 MMA, 12-5 UFC). Lawler is a slight favorite, but he’s getting a 7-3 nod from our crew. And to open the main card, light heavyweight contender Jimi Manuwa (17-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC), who may get the next title shot with a win on Saturday, takes on Volkan Oezdemir (14-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC). Manuwa is close to a unanimous pick, but has to settle for a 9-1 margin.

In the MMAjunkie reader consensus picks, Jones, Woodley, Justino, Lawler and Manuwa are the choices.

Check out all the picks above.
