Decision-filled night but I'll give this a bite, I suppose.

Julia Budd vs Talita Nogueira - Bellator Women's Featherweight Championship
Arlene Blencowe vs Alexis Dufresne
Rafael Lovato Jr vs Chidi Njokuani
Chris Honeycutt vs Kendall Grove
Chidi Njokuani vs Rafael Lovato Jr (2)
Hisaki Kato vs Gregory Babene
David Rickels vs Patricky Pitbull 2 - title eliminator
Adam Piccolotti vs Josh Thomson
 
Isn't Rickels still set on moving back up to welterweight, which's why it was a 160-pound catchweight? If he is, I'd think him versus someone like Ryan Couture (who's a welterweight now) or Ricky Rainey or Andre Santos (that guy who got robbed by Daley a while back) would be good. Maybe the guy that KO'd Koscheck (or even Koscheck.)
Assuming he doesn't wanna drop back down to bantamweight [his body DOES look a lot healthier at featherweight-- he doesn't have those weird emaciated dips in his sides and extra-shallow cheekbones and eyes], I'd throw in Galvao vs. Noad Lahat. It'd be a big-name victory for Lahat, which'd help with their Jewish expansion, and it'd be a grappler, so Galvao'd have an actually good chance at winning. Funfact: Galvao's officially 2-7 against strikers since the start of his career, while he's unofficially-- factoring in the unanimously-considered Robbery Of The Year against Warren as a win-- 15-1-1 against grapplers, the loss being hotly contested against Alexis Vila.
He'd probably benefit from doing some squats to add some more power to his shoots, though-- the Sicilia fight was competitive, but he struggled with a lot of his takedowns, and adding some muscle to his legs'd help that a lot.

I like Honeycutt vs. Grove.

Some nice match ups bro.


What I think would be cool too see

Chidi - Shlemenko
Lovato Jr - Tokov for title shot after Salter gets his shot at it.
Adam Piccolotti - Carrington Banks
David Rickels - Derek Campos
Marcos Galvao - Gaston Reyno
Sam Sicilia - Nohad Lahat
Mandel Nallo - Ryan Couture
Gaston Bolanos - Justin Lawrence
 
I thought Blencowe won to be honest. I'd set up Budd vs. Nogueira too, I think Girl Nog would take the belt away from Julia.

Dufresne needs to sort her weight out before she even thinks of fighting again, the amount of times she's missed is ridiculous. Set Blencowe up with Holloway or Leibrock.
 
Chidi vs Shlemenko
Lovato Jr vs Tokov

what's the point of taking that fight for Shlemenko after Koreshkov beating Chidi pretty easily? and by the way Alexander is one fight away from free agency.

Cause Shlemenko is coming off a shitty loss. And it's a different division...
