Predictions: 3 of 5 Winners, 2 Perfect, 200 Points   |   Tied for 304th

Bellator 139 is set for Friday night with 12 bouts. A few misses in terms of weight, including Pat Curran's opponent, but he should be able to shed 0.4 lbs soon enough. [Update: He did.]

Prelims kick off on Spike.com at 645 or 7pm ET followed by the main card on Spike TV at 9pm. 

There will be postlims galore, most likely. 

[Update: Lost one prelim due to missed weight.]

Kongo won't be able to do that to Bobby Lashley. I say make Kongo vs. Lashley for the interim HW Bellator belt.

Fine by me. Let's do it. I'm just tired of Bellator thinking that booking Bobby Lashley beat-up some can is a draw or compelling to the MMA audience.

It was an amazing KO. That follow up wasn't necessary. I feel for Joe.

Bellator now has a 40 year old ex UFC gatekeeper as a HW champ. ******* Bellator. If Viacom were smart they would just burn everything and cancel that **** for eternity.

Kato looked pretty solid last night but I have seen him fight before and he never looked like that.In his last fight he didn't really do much,kinda gassed in a few minutes,started throwing crappy haymaykers and got ko'd.That was just 3 months ago.Any big kickboxing fan knows Joe is chinny,even in some of his wins he got dropped a bunch.Not to take anything away from Kato but i'm not really expecting much from him in the future.
