Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 750 Points | Tied for 51st
Bellator makes it's long-awaited comeback tonight on Spike TV to kick off it's 2013 Summer Series. If you haven't heard, we're running a Summer Series Competition, so get them picks in and check it out.
The five-bout main card has seen a lot of changes over the past few weeks, but we're getting the Semi-Final rounds of both the Summer Series Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight tournaments. Standouts King Mo and Babalu Sobral are the favorites to win the 205 tournament, but Seth Petruzelli and Jacob Noe both have the KO power to say something about that and both Mo and Sobral were upset in Season 8.
In heavyweight action, undefeated Russian Vitaly Minakov takes on Ohio KO artist Ron Sparts, while Ryan Martinez steps in as a late replacement for Vinicius Quieroz to take on favorite Richard Hale.
To open the main card, welterweight troublemaker War Machine looks to rebound from some serious inactivity when he takes on hot-and-cold striker Blas Avena.
The stacked (for Bellator) prelims should kick off anywhere from 5 to 6pm ET on Spike.com -- you never know with Bellator, so make sure you get your picks in early. And catch the main card at a special early start time of 8pm ET.

I picked Girtz because he is a wrestler from MN, but I'm not terribly confident.

3rd round for Girtz. I had the 1st for Girtz. I could see it going either way.
29-28 Girtz imo.
