Predictions: 1 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 75 Points   |   Tied for 432nd

A quality Bellator card is heading your way Friday night. Truthfully, it's probably the best card of the weekend. 

Prelims kick off on Spike.com at 7pm ET followed by the main card at 9pm. Several scheduled dark bouts for this one, but we'll see if they turn the stream back on. 

Enjoy!

@Kinsalsa I agree. These Prelims are really good tonight. On any given card Awad/Sinclair, Beltran/Rogers or Guerreiro/Texeira could be on the Main Card. 

Hoping C4 and Jansen can pull off the upsets.

@Detroit Yeah I like this card a lot. Pulling for Awad, Tiger and Jansen. I agree that the Guerreiro and Awad fights could be good openers in others cards. However, I'm ok with the Rogers-Beltran being in the prelims. These guys are coming of losses. Let them pick a couple of wins on the prelims

Don't get too excited about the prelims guys,that way when they don't air a bunch of prelims you aren't let down too much.They usually save the best ones for the postlims too.I'm going to start checking at 6 pm et tonight...with 13 fights I expect a 6:30 or 6:45 start,which means they will probably start at like 7:15.

I want to see Schilling light up this brazillian something fierce. Worse than he  did to Manhoef.   Brutalize them. I think Tony johnson is going to KO Volkov too. I also think that Beltran just might look like James "Sandman" Irvin when he went down to 185. PEACE.

I'm pulling for Carvalho. Has more upside, and is a really fun striker. Hoping for great a battle on the feet, but if Carvalho looks to take the fight to ground I'd be ok with it. Also I don't expect Schilling to be a walk in the park if/when he gets put on his back. @Outlaw Beltran looked pretty good at the weigh ins.

Any chance you can re-open picks for like 10-15 mins since we've still got time? I'e made picks for this event twice, yet it cleared my predictions for some reason. Twice.

I made picks for the event twice. Tapology has done this to me countless times. Pretty annoying actually. Especially when you notice like an hour+ before the event starts, yet picks are locked for some reason....

Texeira was always good, UFC should've never cut him over a close split decision against Hugo Viana... it's even worse because they kept guys like Renee Forte over him at that time.

Great win for Texeira.  Guerreo has fought plenty of tough dudes.
