The UFC is back at the Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada for their final show of 2022.

The main event puts top five Middleweight strikers opposite one another as the polarizing Sean Strickland battles knockout artist Jared Cannonier. Highly venerated Lightweight prospects square off in the co-main event as Arman Tsarukyan faces the streaking Damir Ismagulov.

Although the picks are a little late this week, it wouldn’t be the Christmas season without a little giving, so I’m dropping the full predictions slate for all thirteen main card AND prelim bouts!
