Predictions: 0 of 0 Winners, 0 Perfect, 0 Points   |   Tied for 262nd

Bellator's second show of the weekend touches down Saturday night with a Bantamweight rematch in the main event. 

A few solid fights, but a bit of a strange decision to split these into two shows.

way better than last nights fights

Rule of thumb you watch Bellator live ans ufc on the dvr. Better pacing more excitment.

Darrion's trade mark blonde hedge-hog hair styling is defiantly winning over the judges hearts ( and his top game ..) baby Joe has work to do to slicken his greasy but firmly banded silken hair 

crap I didn't even notice Joe changed his hair cut my bad sorry .. its a style similar to Justin Lawrence's

Man guys bellator set up the 'skrap pack' moment there perfect for Darrion and Damtas,  and they started shaking and bro-ing out ... that was a lost moment there .. and Dantas wins easy stand up ground defensive wrestling Darrion is basically wrestling although his athleticism physical capacity is his great weapon  and big supporters of all but lucky Pico is going to be feather weight ! ( I think )

sorry for me it's coin flip darrioms physical abilities and heavy wrestling is good style for damats 55-60/45-40 for damtas maybe

In the very first exchange of the main event fight that guillotine attempt from Baby Joe happened after a punch from Taimanglo, maybe the first punch if the fight. I am not sure if it really hurt Darrion or if he felt the punch and went for a takedown. After that guillotine attempt failed in the 1st, Baby Joe shouldn't have dropped to his back in the next round looking for the guillotine, that's how he lost the first two rounds. However, he got back up a couple of times and had some submissions attempts like that peruvian necktie. He scored a couple a takedowns of his own as well. Joe could have been better served trying to stuff Darrion takedowns instead of jumping for that guillotine over and over. Remenber the sub in the 1st fight came after he defended the takedown (sprawl), then he jumped to the choke. Joe could beat Darrion again if they fight a third time imo.
