Predictions: 0 of 0 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 404th

Welp, 4 fighters missed weight, including Dufresne on the main card (has she ever made weight?) but otherwise we're set for a pretty solid Bellator card on a quiet weekend in terms of major MMA. 

The action kicks off Friday night. Prelims hit Spike.com around 7pm ET followed by the main card on Spike TV at 9pm. 

Enjoy!

Still astounds me why someone would go back up to heavyweight after being able to make Middleweight.

Simple: Much lower skill level and you don't have to do that ******** weight-cutting.

Much closer round. Beltran may have actually took it with that flurry at the end but he might need a finish.

I'm a huge Mexicutioner fan so I hope he wins (and I scored it for him 29-28 but am obviously biased) but neither guy has any reason to ***** about the decision. Overall, I'd grade that fight as a D.

Might be on the struggle bus for asking this, but why has Coenen not been in the UFC? I am surprised that she is one of the few female Strikeforce fighters that hasn't.  (Other than Cyborg who just broke that)

Were those tattoos? I thought she drew those on her face with a sharpie.

What do you mean you didn't understand the disrespect? From Coenen's pov she was going for a title and fought a replacement that couldn't make weight by 5 lbs.
