I'm taking the risk of predicting an exciting Bellator card.

This is one of the best overall cards Bellator has done.

Considering that Gallagher and Romero pulled out, this card is still amazing. I couldn’t even imagine what it would’ve been like if they stayed on but this is still ridiculously good.

 

[BangBang]

I'm into this. Thank fuck there is something to watch tonight.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Lots of solid fights throughout the entire card. Should be very good.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

It will be great to see Rumble back in action.

 

[austinblair]

Loooool. I like Sergio just fine (he’s just an ok fighter, but hes.... fine)


In now way should he be higher on the card than any of the other three main card fights in my opinion. Looking forward to these tonight though. Didn’t even know it was on until now!
