Cris Cyborg, TKO, R2
Can we just have a Cyborg kumite yet? Line up 20 women and she fights them one after the other until she loses. Bets are over/under how many fights she wins, so we can finally get decent odds betting on her for the first time in her career.

Blencowe looks natural, I haven't seen her fight but man hoping for Cyborg to get put to sleep by an actual woman.

Aviv Gozali, SUB, R1
Aviv is very open to be counter, and one day he will be caught, but from what I have seen of Neal he doesn't have the skills required to do so. Aviv should be able to get this to the ground through the clinch and end it quick.

Cris Cyborg, TKO, R3
Yes I do happen to have two brain cells. Hence this pick.
Pitbull vs. Willis
Jaleel Willis, DEC
This is a good fight in all honesty. Patricky can ******* slam punches and more imporantly he can do it while being hit. It's a severely underrated skill that a lot of fighters, even in the top 15 of the UFC, do not have. That being said his style is highly vulnerable to people who do not step in and throw power shots. Jaleel is a good rangy in and out fighter who doesn't leave his head behind when throwing power punches. If you put a gun to my head it would be a pretty choice to say Patricky by KO, but I'm in it for those sweet sweet Bellator odds. So I'll say Willis decisions him.
Bandejas vs. Higo
Ricky Bandejas, TKO, R3
I hesitate to call any fight on a bellator card a lock (other than cyborg lol) but this one is close. I'll straight bet Ricky at -150.
Awad vs. Nallo
Saad Awad, DEC
There's good value here. Awad's TD defence isn't THAT bad. I'd Saad Awad in this one at even money, but at dog odds it gives me even more of an excuse. As we saw on the last UFC card 8 fights does not a talent make.
Teed vs. Mowry
Shawn Teed, TKO, R2
There's always one on every Bellator card. Steve Mowry can definitely win via ground and pound because Shawn Teed doesn't have great TD defence. However, he is 'okay' off of his back and I would also give him the edge in cardio, striking, and durability. I'd put Shawn Teed as a -130 favorite.
Creer vs. Kapel
Andrew Kapel, TKO, R1
Another one. Holy ****, Creer is the favorite here? Are the bookies stoned?
Crutchmer vs. Lachinov
Kyle Crutchmer, SUB, R3
Consistency is key here. Kyle Crutchmeyer is consitently good against a wide range of opponents and styles; honestly Scott Futtrell isn't a bad fighter despite his record so I really respect that 1st round finish. Kemran could pull an upset, but these odds are pretty close to accurate IMO. No bet.
Edwards vs. Salim
Christian Edwards, TKO, R1
Flip a coin, only worthwhile bet here is inside the distance.
Blackshear vs. Kimbel
Da'Mon Blackshear, SUB, R3
Is it weird that the most impressive thing about Da'mon is his amateur record. I mean going 1-1 with Tony Gravely is pretty dope, even if it was as an ammy. Not a lot of confidence in either of these guys though, I'll say Blackshear since he's got the experience.
Gozali vs. Neal
Logan Neal, DEC
Logan Neal has the submission awareness to shut this hype train down, not a confident pick, but I stand behind this statement. This is just like when I made bank off of Aquila getting KO'd by Justin Wetzel. Just cause you're subbing **** tier talent in the first round for a bunch of fights doesn't make you an MMA fighter. Just ask Alex Caceres lmfao.
Gonzales vs. Xhema
Albert Gonzales, SUB, R2
I mean the majority of these fights are actually good. So I guess I'll let this ****show slide.

Cris Cyborg, TKO, R2
I think we finally get to see shades of the old Cyborg back in this one. From the time when she was on a 20 fight beatdown journey like somebody did her ******* wrong and they must pay for it. Also caught off guard. I didn't realize til now, that Cyborg is actually the younger fighter by 2 years, and probably about even in combat age. Yeaaaa. That pissed off Cris Cyborg is what I hope for.
