Neither guy is going to do anything in the sport, but I think Calandrelli should win this. Nice is a wrestler, I've watched some of his fights on youtube and his shots are pretty sloppy = guillotine bait for a BJJ BB. But who knows, I haven't seen much on either guy, that's why these prelims are iffy. Going off records doesn't always work.

Yeah the main event should be good, I'm also more interested in the co-main because of the disagreement's in that forum haha.

they added 5 more fights to the ring of fire event in colorado for a total of 52 fights for the weekend. hopefully just a couple of cancellations but we all should be able to accumulate some very nice points for our portfolios. good luck to everybody.

@Wolf.. and @Soccer is going to be there live.  He was looking for someone to text live updated results to so the guys didn't have to wait for them.  So the addition of those fights are even better!

@kalibo.  i think he relays the results to skell and then he inputs them into the computer. i think that is how it works. gregory knows.

I always rock the points on Bellator events, but like the greedy award-monger I am, I have to hold my nose and take Griffin, Buentello and Barrantes.
I just won't be able to live with myself if they actually come through with the upsets and I don't pick them.

@Wolf - Calandrelli was not so Nice, eh? ;-)

Talent is more important than a layoff when picking. Layoff only makes a difference when skill is even.
