Glad I will get to check those prelims out on WSOF.com Dawodu is a killer. Main is good but don't have NBC

I'd like to see Blagoy stop Jordan early. Also hoping to see an upset with Harrison taking the FW belt.

Harrison is actually the favorite on the betting odds. This is a great card and very good prelims as well. Insane line movement on Steven Siler's odds vs Hakeem Dawodu too. I can't believe Siler became such a huge underdog. Dawodu is flashy and a great prospect but Siler is dangerous himself and far more experienced.

WSOF does like one card every three months but they are always very good. Very fun card.

WSOF does like one card every three months but they are always very good. Very fun card.

They actually had ten cards in 2015 and eight in 2016, so their pace was a lot higher than that until their recent re-organization. I agree that I always enjoy the cards though.

Why? At least Palmer isn't a human blanket

 

[MMALOPEZ]

The middleweight bout between Phil Hawes (4-1) and Eli Wynter (2-0) is off the preliminary card due to a Wynter ankle injury, the promotion today announced.

Great card for a company who just released 3 of its champs (or is rumored to be releasing 3-- not sure if morales and gathje have been yet).

Harrison is actually the favorite on the betting odds.

Time for me to call the bookie then, this is Palmers fight.

I have $200 on him at +110. Not super confident as Harrison keeps managing to win despite a lackluster style.

Boyington vs almeida prelim fight is off ....

[HuskySamoan]

I'm really hoping after Abubakar Nurmagomedov wins here that he gets to fight for the WSOF Welterweight title next. I think Abubakar is a really talented WSOF fighter similar to Branch, Gaethje, Moraes.

170lbs- Andrews Nakahara (5-3-2) vs. Emmanuel Walo (10-2-1)

Andrews Nakamura is back!?

DREAM still lives!

Yeah, Harrison does do that quite a bit.

 

[CDF47]

Harrison is actually the favorite on the betting odds. This is a great card and very good prelims as well. Insane line movement on Steven Siler's odds vs Hakeem Dawodu too. I can't believe Siler became such a huge underdog. Dawodu is flashy and a great prospect but Siler is dangerous himself and far more experienced.

I'm looking forward to this card too. A number of interesting fights and title bouts. Some of those odds are a bit surprising.

 

[qw3rty]

Prelims are stacked.
Why Bellator can't do that?
