Main Card Holly Holm vs. Germaine de Randamie – Women’s Featherweight Championship Bout Hom (10-2) has lost two straight as she was outpointed by Valentina Shevchenko in July, and that was after she was submitted by Miesha Tate for the bantamweight belt in March. Randamie (6-3) has won two straight since losing to current bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes in November 2013. This should be a striking exhibition as Holm is a former boxer with kickboxing skills, and Randamie is a Muay Thai specialist. Randamie was 1-1 in Strikeforce as a featherweight, so she has experience here. Holm has boxed at 145 pounds before, with varying success. Still, she has the championship pedigree, so Holm gets the edge here. Pick: Hom Anderson Silva vs. Derek Brunson – Middleweight Silva (33-8, 1 NC) has four losses and a no-contest in his last five, although two were to former champion Chris Weidman (and one loss was due to injury), and his loss to light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in July happened because Silva stepped in for the suspended Jon Jones at UFC 200. Brunson (16-4) had a five-fight win streak come to a halt in November via TKO to Robert Whittaker. Brunson is very strong and while Silva has the edge in technique, the fear is that the former pound-for-pound king is past his prime. Pick: Brunson Ronaldo Souza vs. Tim Boetsch – Middleweight Souza (23-4, 1 NC), better known as “Jacare”, scored a TKO win over Vitor Belfort in May, while Boetsch (20-10) knocked out Rafael Natal in November, his second straight win. Souza is a grappling ace with knockout power and he will stand with Boetsch, who has been stopped seven times in his career. He will get stopped again by a rampaging “Jacare”. Pick: Souza Glover Teixeira vs. Jared Cannonier – Light Heavyweight Teixeira (25-5) was stopped by Anthony Johnson in August, while Cannonier (9-1) moved down to 205 pounds in December and beat Ion Cutelaba. Teixeira would like to make a run at another title shot (he lost to Jon Jones in April 2014), but Cannonier looked very good at this weight with his speed and boxing ability. Look for him to cause an upset. Pick: Cannonier Travis Browne vs. Derrick Lewis – Heavyweight Browne (18-5-1) has lost four of six after a unanimous decision to Fabricio Werdum in September, and Lewis knocked out Shamil Abdurakhimov in December. However, Lewis did not look good in a split-decision win over Roy Nelson prior to that, and he was losing against Abdurakhimov before his knockout. He needs a good performance against Browne, who is tough, but he is a step slow at this point Pick: LewisBet on UFC 208: Holm vs Radamie at BetDSI
