Predictions: 1 of 2 Winners, 0 Perfect, 65 Points   |   Tied for 345th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for one of the best Bellator events in a while. 

Even the prelims have a lot to look for.

Speaking of, prelims should kick off around 7pm ET on Spike.com before moving over to the Spike TV main card at 8pm.

Picks may be locking around 6. Depends how many postlims we're looking at here.

Enjoy!

Benson made a huge mistake not dropping to 155 for Bellator, no reason he should be fighting at 170 here in Bellator. For **** sakes I had Koreshkov picked until last week, ****...

Benson losing would be the best thing for the 170 and 155 Bellator divisions.

Koreshkov just made a statement tonight.  Hope Askren comes back to Bellator so we can see that rematch.

Too bad Brooks is being frozen out of his contract. Would love to see Bendo v. Brooks.

Safe to say Bendo should move to 155 after that.

Benson just fought a guy that was too big for him. I don't think Koreshkov is technically better, he just controlled Benson with his size.

Koreshkov vs. MVP will be a great championship fight in the near future.

Also, Benson vs. Chandler or Benson vs. Brooks will all be great as well.

@terrencetj:
I started watching it, but then one of the girls got a take down and the ref immediately stood them up. I realized I had no idea what I was watching.
