Davis will probably get the UD, but hoping for a flashy KO by the Dragon.

Carvalho vs Polizzi is a great fight. Can't wait for that one!

 

[BroRogan]

Ya gonna watch but its gonna be 3rd thing I have on. Between NBA games tonight n US open will barely be able to keep up most likely

Why the hell does Bellator have to start so late all the time? It's 2 hours to the goddamn prelims and UFC tend to start around now!

 

[trentkelp]

When does the undercard start?

 

[DanAndroid]

bellator beats ufc this weekend, they need to recognize when they have the better card and run it against the ufc just to get a saturday night wars going.

 

[trentkelp]

Crossing fingers and holding breath until its over!

 

[Kryptt]

Will cheer for Machida tho!

 

[Afrikan]

Amanda Bell (Power) vs Leslie Smith (endurance/toughness)

I don't know, if Leslie tries to stand and bang with her...it will fall into Bell's game plan... but if Leslie wears her down by mixing it up with punches to the body and clinch work...she can get Bell tired and nullify her power.

[OhBam]

Davis
Zingano
Ruth
Daniels

Good picks.

The underdog odds on Daniels and Ruths opponents were too tempting for me.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

I still dont understand how Davis was given the UD in their first fight. I thought Lyoto easily won it

 

[BURYMD410]

Machida should win this clearly

 

[BURYMD410]

First one was close but Machida clearly won

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

LET'S GOOOO

 

[SaigeVanZant]

Bask in his glory

UFC card is on the weaker side but that is still a pretty bold statement. Unless your just talking about the main event?
