Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 405 Points   |   Tied for 92nd

After a fun night of fights from Japan, we go back stateside today to the old home of Strikeforce in San Jose, California for Bellator 183.  And the main card for this event is pretty stacked, which is a pleasant surprise from Bellator that they can hopefully continue as they bring in more and more new talent.

All the fighters weighed in and everyone made weight with no problems.

Prelims start at 7:00 PM on Spike.com, with the main card for Bellator starting at 8:00 PM on Spike TV.

Let's do this ****.

I love this main card. Gonna be awesome. Massive fan of both the Pitbull Brothers (I know only Patricky is fighting) and Paul Daley. Yamauchi/Piccolotti is going to be great as well.

@tacos

Yeah the main card is one of Bellator's best of the year.  Although I will say that the undercard isn't completely anemic either.  Okanovich vs Jauregui looks like a solid fight, as does Herrera vs Nievara.  Plus there are some interesting prospects to watch like Alex Lopez and Brooke Mayo.

This may not be a popular opinion, but I feel like the main card of this one is better than both ufc 215 and fight night japan.

I'm really looking forward to the main event. Bendo is a guy who is never out of a fight until he's either put away or the final bell sounds. Patricky is a finisher and his fights are so fun. He has fought all the best guys in bellator, and his fights are always fun to watch.

Roy Nelson...nuff said.

Piccolotti vs Yamauchi is an excellent fight between two finishers. Big step up for Adam. Yamauchi is the younger guy, but he has so much more experience. I liked how Adam looked against Gertz who was rolling at the time they fought.

Pico vs Linn will be Pico debuting at what I believe to be his correct weight class. Even with the huge experience gap, I think Aaron gets the win tonight. And I think he gets the finish too. Unless his strategy will always be to rush in with his chin in the air.

And lastly, the absolute banger of the night (on paper anyway). Larkin vs Daley. I can't wait to watch this fight. I feel like Larkin is going to be more technical and tight with his strikes. I think he gets the finish, but with that being said, Daley can shut the lights out anytime.

Overall I think this is one of Bellator's better cards. I'm not sure about the prelims, but I'm not too worried about them anyhow. I'm working tonight, so I'll only catch the main card anyhow.

Bellator didn't air Okanovich vs Jauregui, because why would you air the most competitive and compelling prelim fights.

For someone who can't usually watch the prelims cuz they're outside Murica, this Twitter thing is cool.

10-9 Gonzalez Trevino

Lopez is just fighting dumb by not setting up kicks with punches.

Nice win for Gonzalez Trevino.  Shouldn't have been a split tho, IMO.
