Bellator's 5th season continues tonight! Stepping into the cage on the main card are the BANTAMWEIGHT tournament semi-finalists.  The fights are LIVE on MTV2 at 9:00pm eastern time.

And like the other events this season, you'll also be able to catch the prelims on Spike.com. To watch them, head on over to Spike.com at 7:00pm eastern time. I think the right page is this one:

Your prediction results and leaderboard ranking will automatically show up in any posts made here. If you want to embed your full listing of picks you can do that also.   Your picks, as well as a link to embed the image, and the top of the site-wide leaderboard will all be available in the right column on this thread.

Enjoy the fights and good luck in your predictions! 

REMINDER: No requesting of or posting links to illegal streams of the MTV2 broadcast.

M'Pumbu should win this without much trouble. Travis is too slow for him. Hopefully Dantas and Vila make it to the final. That should be a great fight.

Dantas/Vila would be amazing. Question are you the same Legz from MMALinker?

I'm excited for this card.  I can't wait to see how M'Pumbu does against Wuiff.  It's a solid test to gauge M'Pumbu's potential.

Vila vs Galvao should be interesting as well.

Wiuff has never been consistent against top level comp, that is why he is the underdog

M'Pumbu is a hard hitter with a slick ground game. He can stick with the best at the LHW division, I think he'll run through Wiuff.

Why am I not surprised to hear you say that Mino, M'Pumbu couldn't beat 3 LHW's on the UFC roster.

I probably have the least amount of confidence in M'Pumbu out of all the Bellator champions but still think he wins this

@cash. M'Pumpo has three brutal knockouts in a row and the three opponents combined record is 35-8.  thye were good fighters. thats why i'm taking him by KO.

actually after posting that Warren is probably last on my confidence list after what Vila did to him and his potential matchup with Freire

On second thought, I forgot about M'Pumbu's size. I still think he'd be a solid LHW but he'd be a pretty damn good MW.

Thats what I have been saying, he has a high chance of being top 10 at MW
