The UFC wraps up International Fight Week with its biggest pay-per-view of 2022 so far, and it has two title fights atop the bill.

UFC 276 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC/ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.

In the main event, middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) puts his title on the line against Jared Cannonier (15-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC). In a bit of a rarity, challenger Cannonier is a slight favorite at Tipico Sportsbook, though it’s nearly a pick’em fight. Cannonier is -120; the comeback on Adesanya is -115. Despite that, champ Adesanya is our only unanimous pick on the main card from our 11 editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers.

In the co-feature, featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski (24-1 MMA, 11-0 UFC) takes on former titleholder Max Holloway (23-6 MMA, 19-6 UFC) in a trilogy rematch. Volkanovski is the biggest favorite on the main card at -260. Holloway is a +180 underdog. Volkanovski has a 7-4 lead from our staff pickers.

Also on the main card, Alex Pereira (5-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) meets Sean Strickland (25-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC) in a middleweight fight. Strickland is a 2-1 favorite, but it’s Pereira who has a 6-5 edge in the picks.

Bryan Barberena (17-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC) takes on Robbie Lawler (29-15 MMA, 14-9 UFC) in a welterweight bout that was elevated to the main card from the prelims. Lawler is a 2-1 favorite, but Barberena has a narrow 6-5 picks lead.

And to open the main card, Pedro Munhoz (19-7 MMA, 9-7 UFC) fights Sean O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) in a bantamweight bout. Despite O’Malley’s popularity, it’s Munhoz who is a -130 favorite at the betting window. But O’Malley has a big 9-2 blowout in our picks.

In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Adesanya (80 percent), Volkanovski (52 percent), Pereira (51 percent), Lawler (66 percent) and O’Malley (78 percent) are the choices.
