UFC Fight Night 86 will air on Sunday, April 10. The event kicks off at 10:30 a.m. ET, making the main card (2 p.m. ET) a rare weekend matinee. Another rarity: The Octagon travels to Croatia for the first time in UFC history.
The event features a standard pack of 13 fights, six of those going on the main card. The afternoon's headliner is a heavyweight contest between former champion Junior dos Santos and rising challenger Ben Rothwell. That bout is just one of three heavyweight contests on the main card.
The full main card looks like this:
- Ben Rothwell vs. Junior dos Santos
- Derrick Lewis vs. Gabriel Gonzaga
- Francis Ngannou vs. Curtis Blaydes
- Timothy Johnson vs. Marcin Tybura
- Igor Pokrajac vs. Jan Blachowicz
- Maryna Moroz vs. Cristina Stanciu
Though, imminent title implications are light, the Fight Night 86 main card features a bevy of young talent and competitive matchups to add a dash of excitement to your Sunday afternoon.
In preparation of the event, the Bleacher Report MMA picks team is here to supply you with our thoughts on each main-card matchup. Back as usual, it's Scott "Home Run" Harris, Slugging Sydnie Jones, Nathan "Sacrifice Bunt" McCarter, Steven "The Slider" Rondina and Craig "Crash" Amos.
