Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 0 Perfect, 215 Points   |   Tied for 237th

Bellator Season 9 kicks off tonight from Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT.  

In the main event, middleweight champ Alexander Shlemenko (47-7) takes on late replacement Brett Cooper (19-8) after original opponent Doug Marshall was forced out of the bout. Cooper was knocked out by Marshall in an upset in April in the Season 8 tournament finals.  

The co-main was set to feature former 145 champ Joe Warren, but he was deemed unfit to compete by the tribal doctor overseeing the event. Interestingly, Andreas Spang also wasn't cleared by the commission and was removed from his tournament bout against Justin Torrey.  

The rest of the main card featured the quarter-finals of the Season 9 Middleweight tournament.  

Prelims are scheduled to go live on Spike.com at 6pm ET, but picks will lock at 530pm to err on the side of caution. The main card airs live on Spike TV at 8pm ET.  

Enjoy the fights!

3-2 Shlemenko if you ask me. Cooper faded badly after the 2nd. Just never had the gas to really take it to Shlemenko after the 2nd. Pretty decent fight, but Shlemenko didn't look as good as I thought he would.

What a great way to close out the show. Both Shlemenko and Cooper showed some amazing heart and determination. Overall, a solid (and surprising) night of fights. Good night everyone!

Awesome fight from both Schlemnko and Cooper.  I do think he should go to 170 though.

Maybe they'll add Shlemenko/Marshall to the PPV in November. That would be a pretty sweet card.

Now I am reminded why I hate picking bellator fights they always go the opposite of how I think they will end up.
