Predictions: 0 of 0 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 441st

The heavyweight tournament semi-finals are set to go down Friday night, so hopefully we have a couple of KOs to look forward to.

Otherwise, this card's got some very solid prelims (for Bellator) to look forward to, including some Bellator and UFC veterans. 

Main card kicks off on Spike TV at 9pm ET followed by prelims on Spike.com at 7pm. 

Picks will likely lock at 630 to be safe, and seeing that there are 13 fights on the card, expect a couple of dark bouts after the main event.

Great main card for a Bellator card. The HW fights should be fun.

I think Johnson sleeps Ivanov, haven't seen Ivanov take any good shots so we will see. Picked Beltran for god knows why... Vladamir just too old. Emerson is on a nice streak, but I like Taimanglo he is a ball of fire. His little ass is fighting at the right weight class now. Bender and Rainey should do work... war KEEF BERRY. Would have picked Rodney Wallace if he had more notice. I think I should do pretty ****** on this card.

As long as we get to see Joe and Jim Bum**** fight each other I'll be happy.

And of course one of the dark matches is gonna be the Keith Berry one. I think his last 3 fights got dark status. How are we supposed to support our fellow Tapologist when we can't watch him fight??

I just hope the judges haven't given both rounds to either fighter.
