The prelims for this card are better than the main card by a long shot. I don't know who decide on this bout order, but he should get fired!

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 5 Perfect, 690 Points   |   Tied for 89th

Anderson vs. Bomba
Derek Anderson, DEC
There was honestly once a time, a few years back that I thought this kid Derek Anderson could make a buncha noise and ruin alotta people's plans for success. I mean he's had Patricky Pitbull's number, he beat him twice. He beat Saad Awad. He had that brilliant KO with his knee against Brandon Girtz. But I feel like a buncha time was squandered by injuries and inactivity. Its been a year and a half since we seen him last. But I like Vasconcelos for a Return fight. Hopefully we don't gotta wait another 18 months after this fight to see him again.

Wilson vs. Juarez
Jay Jay Wilson, SUB, R1
Pretty considerable height / length advantage for Wilson..

Imhotep vs. Gentapanan
Sunni Imhotep, TKO, R1
Sunni Imhotep has NEVER been further than 3:00 in all his career wins (Pro / Am), but, the losses went the distance... Telling you something there

Eblen vs. Alonso
Johnny Eblen, DEC
Mauricio Alonso is all but 40 years old. And it's been OVER 2 and a half years since he fought last, which was a win over war ravaged Josh Koscheck.... Not saying much there

Tokov vs. Hastings
Vladimir Tokov, TKO, R2
Another ************ just short of 40 years old! Hastings has 1 win, in only 3 years. And if im not mistaken, he's been (T)KO'd in all 3 of his defeats. Not a goood outlook of things to come.

Davis vs. Peterson
Joey Davis, TKO, R2
Joey Davis finally getting the step-up in competition. I like this matchup. It'll be a good test to see where he really is. I expect him to win easily tho, as does Tapology world. Don't forget about the 3" height advantage, but the outrageous 8.5" reach advantage is even better..

Koreshkov vs. Larkin
Andrey Koreshkov, DEC
I LOVE THIS FIGHT!!!!! Wish Bellator did 5 round, non title main events.

Awad vs. Yamauchi
Goiti Yamauchi, DEC
I've liked Saad Awad as a huge underdog since the fight was announced. Original thoughts were that Awad could crack Goiti, and he very well could, but Saad has let me down so many times recently, not sure i wanna get burnt again. I am 0–3 picking Saad Awad fights. Don't expect that trend to change.

Schilling vs. Johnson
Tony Johnson, DEC
Keith Berry, that bum Schilling fought last, proved to me that Schilling is still wayyyy far off from calling himself a mixed martial artist. Johnson for the not upset, upset.

Melendez vs. Polk
Keri Melendez, DEC
Mandy Polk is garbage. Beat a buncha bums. Annnd she's hotter than Mrs Gilbert Melendez, which means you shouldn't pick her....... (MMA fight picking for dummies according to Mikey1903)

Tokov should be on the main card. He is a contender for the title. Whu bury him on prelims? Bellator cards make no sense with their bout order and tv schedules.  I'm still puzzled as to why there's 6 post lims on this card???
