UFC 239 features two title fights and each champ is a big favorite. But we all know that anything can happen in MMA. Holly Holms has proven she can fight the perfect fight .... as a big underdog .... and take home the belt. Thiago Santos is getting his first shot at a title and enters the main event as a huge underdog as well. His opponent, Jon Jones, is one of the best to ever step inside the octagon, regardless of weight class. Likewise, Amanda Nunes is approaching that category. But can Holly have two perfect fights in her career? Is there anything less than perfect for her that would get the job done? Santos has explosive power and patience. But he's at a disadvantage in size, skill and big stage experience. So .... how does Santos walk out of the cage with the belt? And Jorge Masvidal vs Ben Askren is not a snoozer fight either. MMA FanCast's Jim and Luke break down these 3 fights and who gets their hand raised. You also get another lock pick from this card. And you might be surprised what the lock is. Listen in to find out how it should all go down.
