Bellator 242 Friday July 24th

[rille31]

Not sure if it's relevant, but Jay Jay is a BJJ world champion. He's fought only one guy with a winning record, but he trains with what is effectively the NZ branch of ATT so I'd imagine his wrestling is passable

Black belt word champion?

He has legit submission skills but he is not a black belt world champion. Here is a summary of Jay Jay Wilson from his web page.

It will be a dangerous fight for Tywan if he takes it to the ground, it could be a good bet.

Ya, I must say I think Jay Jay is the play for Friday.

Dude missed weight, had to keep cutting and still didn't make it, don't know if it's such a good play at this moment

interesting

 

[careto]

Yeah, im having second thoughts about it. Im pretty set on Jason Jackson but not so sure about Wilson anymore. His cardio could be compromised.

 

[The Eagle]

Any final predictions?

 

[BadJuJu707]

Rooting for Cass Bell tonight! I think he's 5-0 with all finishes and he's from the town 7 miles north of where I live.

 

[The Eagle]

I think Claxton will win if he doesn't make a stupid mistake and decides to take down the other guy who has good submission skills.

Rudy vs Ras Hylton the GOAT fight.

Rudy vs Ras Hylton the GOAT fight.

iirc, this is far from the worst heavyweight fight that I've seen on Bellator, which is sad.

Tbf Bellator did have someone literally die in a HW fight once due to exhaustion

 

[PuertoRican]

Solo Hatley Jr. walked out to the cage looking like the black version of Tong Po.

Pico finally got tired of being KO'd by way less talented guys. Takedown, gnp, back take to rnc, goodnight.

That takedown was kind of absurd, the facial reaction from opponent looked shook upon landing.

Yeah he did a good job initially with his hips and Pico just powerlifted him from a weird angle and dumped him. That's elite level wrestling.

Bellator doing all their interviews 6 feet away haha

"Wait... You're telling me I could've done this in ALL of my fights??? FUCK!!!"

 

[Polarize]

Hello, I haven't been here in a while, let's see if there are good fights tonight, I have two small bets Pico-Solo u1.5 -200 and Mein +120.
no bet on main event. I rewatched Bandejas vs Archuleta, big robbery imo. Pettis is a better striker, better defense but Bandejas size and counter style could work, thoughts?
