A week with three UFC events in three days wraps up tonight with one of the most anticipated cards in company history: UFC 194.

Neither of the two title fights at the top of the bill has unanimous picks – but the consensus among the MMAjunkie staff of editors, writers and radio hosts see upsets happening in each.

In the main event, featherweight champion Jose Aldo (25-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) meets interim champ Conor McGregor (18-2 MMA, 6-0 UFC) in a bout delayed from UFC 189 in July. And though McGregor is the slight favorite, it’s longtime champ Aldo who is getting a 7-2 nod from our staff.

And in the co-feature, middleweight champion Chris Weidman (13-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) defends his title against former Strikeforce champ Luke Rockhold (14-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC). Although Rockhold is the underdog, five of our nine pickers believe he’ll walk away as the new champion.

There’s just one unanimous pick on the card, featherweight Max Holloway (14-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) over Jeremy Stephens (24-11 MMA, 11-10 UFC) to open the pay-per-view portion of UFC 194.

Ronaldo Souza (22-3 MMA, 5-0 UFC) was close to a unanimous choice in his middleweight contenders fight against Yoel Romero (10-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC), which finally happens after two previous cancelations. “Jacare” got eight of the nine votes.

And in a bout between two high-level grappling wizards, six of our nine staffers like Brazilian Demian Maia (21-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) to get past Iceland’s Gunnar Nelson (14-1-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC). Nelson is a slight betting favorite in the welterweight bout.

In the consensus picks from MMAjunkie readers, Aldo, Weidman, Souza, Nelson and Holloway got the nods.

UFC 194 takes place Saturday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

Check out all the picks above. Additionally, leave your individual main-card picks below. As usual, MMAjunkie reader “IAMMA” is organizing the MMAjunkie Member Picks, where “sadowolf” is still leading both categories and looking to repeat his 2014 title for most wins.
