The fighters are weighed in and Melvin Guillard missed the mark again ... but he says it wasn't his fault, so there's that. 

We're in for a weird one. 

Prelims are online at some point in space-time. Main card airs live on Spike TV at 9pm ET. 

Enjoy!

Over or under 2 minutes that Kimbo vs. Dada 5000 lasts? (or their gas tanks). Also, I wish there was a prop bet for picking an injury in the main event. Doesn't seem that unlikely to me.

I'm excited as ****, tbh. I really hope Campos beats Guillard, Newton/Vassell is a rematch I accpet, and Pineda/Sanchez should be a war. I've become a big fan of Emanuel Sanchez lately. As for the main and co-main, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy, really.

So, some super shady betting action going on in the Kimbo fight. 

Dada moved from a +350 down to about a +150 in the space of an hour.

Shamrock VS Gracie

Predictions: 10 of 17 Winners, 4 Perfect, 695 Points   |   Tied for 110th

Shamrock comes out of retirement to fail at submitting the worst guy on the ground in MMA history, and now he faces the legendary Gracie!? 

If Shamrock wins by submission, I'm going to go ahead and say Bellator is rigged.

Brett Okamoto ‏@bokamotoESPN  3h3 hours ago

Spoke to manager at LV Sportsbook in Vegas, betting line for Kimbo Slice moved from -360 to pick today.


Brett Okamoto ‏@bokamotoESPN  3h3 hours ago

According to book manager, 'three to four guys' walked in and bet the limit about 20 times. "Just kept firing on the dog over and over."



Brett Okamoto ‏@bokamotoESPN  3h3 hours ago

*For a Bellator fight*, LV Sportsbook has taken in "an unheard of amount of money" according to the manager.




Brett Okamoto ‏@bokamotoESPN  18m18 minutes ago

Another round of bets on Dada5000 by same 3/4 individuals at LV Superbook takes the Slice line back to a pick-em right now. Wow.

@skelliher I was reading that a lot of online betting sites are closing the line on Kimbo vs Dada5000 as well. Don't know if you read anything similar?

Finally fight day

Predictions: 0 of 0 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 686th

i'd do predictions but i'm not confident enough in any of them to put pen to paper. But if i did i'd go Shamrock ko/tko round 1, Kimbo KO r1, Newton Sub2, Emanuel Dec, and Guillard tko r2

I'm amazed that the 4 fighters on the top of the card were able to make it to the show uninjured although theres still time for someone to slip on a banana peel backstage.

Yes, because Kimbo and Dada will ruin the pristine and honorable name of MMA. The sport all other sports look up to as an example.
