Guide to UFC 222: Predictions, analysis and full coverage

UFC 222, taking place Saturday, features ESPN's No. 1 pound-for-pound female fighter Cris 'Cyborg' Justino facing top prospect Yana Kunitskaya for the featherweight belt. Cyborg (19-1) has not lost since her professional debut in 2005 and is coming off a unanimous decision win against Holly Holm at UFC 219 in December. Kunitskaya, the bantamweight champion of Invicta Fighting Championship, most recently defeated Raquel Pa'aluhi by unanimous decision.

In the co-main event, former UFC champion Frankie Edgar (22-5) takes on fast-rising Brian Ortega in the featherweight division. The last time Edgar competed against a top young fighter -- last May against Yair Rodriguez -- he dominated him. Will he do the same against Ortega, an elite Jiu-Jitsu specialist who has not lost in 13 professional fights?

Other intriguing matchups include Sean O'Malley vs. Andre Soukhamthath, Stefan Struve vs. Andrei Arlovski and the UFC debut of Mackenzie Dern.
