Hollywood superstar Chris Pratt has made his pick for the UFC 276 main event between Jared Cannonier and middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.

Pratt was in attendance for the UFC 276 event on July 2. During his time there, he spoke to MMA journalist Aaron Bronsteter. When asked about his thoughts on the main event title fight, the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star said that although Cannonier had a tough task ahead of him, he was rooting for 'The Killa Gorilla' to emerge victorious on July 2.

"I bet with my heart. I'd like to see Cannonier win... I think he's got a monumental task in front of him to be like this sort of guy who takes down a legend like Izzy, a future Hall of Famer, potentially the greatest stand-up striker in the game ever. He's [Cannonier] got a big night ahead of him but God, I hope it's him. I hope it's him. That's my prediction," said Chris Pratt.
