Welcome back to the Sherdog Staff Pick 'Em, where, after a week off, we're back and diving right into the spectacle of UFC 264.
As expected, lots of attention is focused on the Dustin Poirier—Conor McGregor rubber match, and three-quarters of the staff are picking the Louisianan to repeat his masterful performance six months ago and collect bragging rights by winning the trilogy. Elsewhere on the card, unassuming grappling savant Ryan Hall is also a 75% pick over super-prospect Ilia Topuria, in one of the stronger underdog picks in the league this year. Time will tell whether we knew something about "The Wizard" that the oddsmakers didn't.
