Bellator: Daley vs MacDonald. Also MVP vs Anderson.


theres a press conference tuesday with Daley, Rory, MVP, & Lashey. So i imagine he'll be on this card as well.

I agree completely. If this card stays together, it has more relevant fighters fighting in the main spots.

Well, that is not saying much as the UFC has had some terrible event matchups lately.

Kongo vs. Sakai added. Augusto Sakai will fight Kongo in London after a year off, he had a broken arm.
Sakai was supossed to fight Javy Ayala in the last card. However, according to the article, Javy got injured.

I'm still trying to work out how good Sakai is, this will go some way to helping that. Interesting fight.

@HJWalker I think that Sakai can get the "w". However, the layfoff makes me wary of confidentlty picking him.

damn

MVP vs Anderson was gonna be a brawl. Ben Henderson is offering to step up. Would like to see it but doubt it happens. And it's such a drastic change in styles of opponent for Anderson and would lesve Piccolotti without a fight

They have pulled Derek Anderson from the card. Bellator should have kept Anderson on the card against Alex Lohore, someonelse from the undercard or any replacement. Now, Anderson has made two camps in vain ( Daley and Page).

The Baby Slice fight is on the main card and the Lohore - Vinni fight has been bumped up to the main card.
