Predictions: 6 of 8 Winners, 3 Perfect, 425 Points   |   Tied for 2nd with 5 others

Bellator's 5th season continues tonight! Once again, Bellator is competing against a UFC card, but if you're a true fan you'll find a way to catch some of this action too. Stepping into the cage on the main card are all 8 of the HEAVYWEIGHT tournament contestants.  The fights are LIVE on MTV2 at 9:00pm eastern time.

And like the other events this season, you'll also be able to catch the prelims on Spike.com. To watch them, head on over to Spike.com at 7:00pm eastern time. I think the right page is this one:

http://www.spike.com/video-clips/sl0uyl/mma-video-bellator-prelims-live-stream


Your prediction results and leaderboard ranking will automatically show up in any posts made here. If you want to embed your full listing of picks you can do that also.   The top of the leaderboard will be available in the right column on this thread.

Enjoy the fights and good luck in your predictions! 
REMINDER: No requesting of or posting links to illegal streams of the MTV2 broadcast.

NOTE: As a courtesy to those looking to avoid spoilers, please avoid posting UFC on Versus results in this thread.

Nice job super_monkey, you got it with Hayes, everyone else had Grove. I tied for 2nd though.

This was a disaster for me.  Grove looked absolutely horrible.  I really wasn't that impressed by any of these heavies, but I did miss the Sparks fight... How did Ron look?

I missed this card. Gonna try to find some fights today. I can't believe Cosmo lost a striking match to some random mma guy...that's embarrassing.

I think the problem with Grove is that he's 40 and just not an elite fighter.

Yeah Sparks/Prindle would be awesome, I think Prindle might get KTFO'd though, Sparks is quicker.

Agreed. He's definitely got the best grappling out of the remaining guys. Prindle and Sparks are just sluggers. Hayes is sorta technical and has an ok groundgame. But none of these guys are really killers.

@wolf - He beat Fedor and got the gold medal in the 2008 World Combat Sambo championships. Think he was the first person to beat Fedor at the world championships.

I'm thinking Sparks vs Ivanov in the final.

Ivanov was the most impressive last night, I'm thinking we will see him and Sparks in the final.
