[Meathead Jock]

Thanks. Wish I could have picked at least 7 this week.

 

[ryanrandy]

Thanks. Wish I could have picked at least 7 this week.

Definitely the toughest week i can remember. We got old school UFC and Pride legends plus an uber prospect.

 

[fermaPY]

My picks in order:
1- Lima vs Larkin
2- Davis vs Bader
3- Fedor vs Mittrione
4- Chiesa vs Lee
5- Chandler vs Primus

Also looking forward to
- Means vs Garcia
- Machida vs Gallagher
- Neiman Gracie vs Marfone
- BJ vs Siver
- Hendricks vs Boetsch

 

[jjresq]

Davis/Bader
Chiesa/Lee
Lima/Larkin
Fedor/Mitrione
Means/Garcia

 

[Kinger85]

thanks as always.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't need the organizational records of the fighters. Just overall record is fine.

 

[HaulParris]

Chiesa-Lee (actually relevant match/up, with winner making a case for getting a top 5 opponent next).

Lima-Larkin: legit challenger for the belt.

Chandler-Primus: not familiar with Primus, but Chandler always brings it, and himself was an unknown (wasn't he a tournament alternate?) when he stormed his way through Bellator

Pico's debut: let's see if there is substance behind all the hype.

Davis-Bader rematch: the first fight was forgettable, but Davis has been on a tear in Bellator (Mo fight aside), and it's one of the few relevant match-ups at LHW.

 

[Jawth]

Lima vs. Larkin
Chiesa vs. Lee
Bader vs. Davis
Means vs. Garcia
Hendricks vs. Boestch

 

[The Editor]

What a great weekend of MMA.
