Bellator

Lashley with the TKO in RD2
King MO UD
Kongo will Wall and Stall and eventaully get Lavar Johnson, who has the worst ground defense in all of MMA, down for the TKO in RD1
Pitbull vs Curran can go either way. Their first fight was close(thought pitbull won but w/e). Both are good all around fighters. I think Curran will pull out the UD just because Pitbull has been out so long. I hope Pitbull pulls out the win just because I hate the bullshyt way Curran got that rematch with Strauss and was on his way to losing before the miracle RNC. fukk Rebney

UFC.

Lentz vs Do Bronx- Lentz is a solid fighter but a journeyman who has peaked as a fighter. Oliveria is still young and an absolute beast on the ground. Oliveria sub RD2

Lauzon vs Chiesa- FOTN candidate. Both guys are similar in that they are very aggressive and will attempt those subs not matter how risky it may be. Stiking is pretty even. I will go with Chiesa because hes younger, bigger, and is a bit more disciplined. He should be able to develop and land strkes on Lauzon, who has poor defense, en route to the TDs. I see him choking out Lauzon later in the fight when Jlau eventually gasses

Mitrone vs Lewis- First big test for Lewis. Really don't know much about him outside of his heavy hands. Mitrione is experienced, durable, and can take punches. He will take Lewis down and get the TKO RD2

Overroid vs Roidwell

Two teste abusers. lol. Rothwell hits hard and is extremely hard to finish. Overeem is better in all aspects but his notoriously poor cardio/chin negates his positives. But he is training at Jackson's now, who are great at gameplanning and playing to their fighters strengths. So I expect the Overeem who fought Mir only ten times more conservative with the strikes, TD attmepts, clinch work. It would be hilarious if Rothwell goes into Dominick Cruz 250lb version and knock Reem's head off tho :russ: If Reem does lose, I expect him to be cut.

Mousasi vs Jacare- Very intriguing fight. Jacare has improved his striking greatly along with his deadly BJJ. Moose is a solid boxer with good grappling/TDD. If Jacare can take advantage of Moose slow plodding footwork and non urgent style, he can pressure Moose against the cage and get him down to his world on the ground. I know ppl are high on Jacare lately, but I have to go with Moose for the UD. Jacare striking is reliant on his right, which would make him very predictable. Plus his cardio is a little suspect. Moose has excellent jabs and I expect him to use it to avoid TD's and keep the distance.

This card is fukking great btw. :wow:

It will be mainly the prelims conflicting with each other.

The main and co-main of the Bellator card will likely overlap with Lentz/Oliveira and Scoggins/Moraga though.

Should be a fun night of scraps tonight.

Olivera got pulled from their fight, viral infection.

Overeem better not go out there and get flash KO'ed again, I'm a fan but I'm losing patience with his win quickly or go :dwillhuh: and lose in spectacular fashion pattern in the ufc. Rothwell is tough, hits hard and is a mean son of a bytch when he has you hurt, I hate to say it because it was ugly to watch but Alistair pro'ally should stick to a similar strategy to the one he used on Mir

Damn Jacare is 3-1 on Gegard? I'd take that bet if I were a better. That fight has a lot of intangibles. Layoffs, Jacare with striking and willing to take more risks etc.
