Bellator going to Hawaii huh? Interesting. There's a reason why the UFC hasn't been there yet. I doubt this card gets any big name fights.

Wow I was dead wrong again. That's what I get for taking Dana's word lmao. Supposedly the tourism board doesn't have a big enough budget to sustain a giant UFC event...hmm. Meanwhile Bellator is stacking a card for their Hawaii debut.

    Macfarlane vs. Létourneau
    Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, SUB, R3
    This is prolly the toughest fight Bellator can put together for Ilima`Lei. I don't think Bellator has anyone really, on their Flyweight roster, than can make her dig deep and battle back from adversity. So I can honestly see Ilima`Lei being Bellator Flyweight Champ for a loooong, long time. Létourneau hasn't been submitted in her 6 losses, but there's a pretty good chance, Ilima`Lei goes with her go-to move, Armbar within 3 rounds..

    Machida vs. Carvalho
    Lyoto Machida, DEC
    This is actually a fun fight, atleast on paper. But I'm done talking about this fight. I wanna say something else. My buddy recently told me the nastiest **** about Machida. He's done something called "URINE THERAPY" for years & years apparently. He drinks his 1st piss of the day to supposedly help keep fit.. I'm sorry, but that makes no ****-king sense. Sure. put back in your body, what's to come out..

    Gracie vs. Ruth
    Ed Ruth, TKO, R3
    Somebody's 0 has got to go. But seriously, I ALWAYS take my hometown kids. The last 2 hometown guys I've picked, (Phil Davis & Darrell Horcher) both lost. Ed Ruth is another reallyyyy local kid, Sooo I'ma go with him. It's a tough tough fight. Risky as ****.. But I think Ruth will figure a way to maul Gracie, and finish him before the final bell rings.

    Lawal vs. McGeary
    Muhammed Lawal, DEC
    I'm not sure what it is about Liam McGeary, but he hasn't looked good at all since the fight where he lost his belt... (Love my hometown guys) I'm not sure if he's just not 100% confident inside his head, or if all the over hyping is getting to his head. I always thought he wasn't as good as the hype that surrounded him.. but that's my personal opinion

    Dung vs. Oliveira
    Kona Oliveira, DEC
    Maaaan this guy. Youuuuu know he was tormented so badly as a kid, and probably even still now... Frickin last name is Dung. And his 1st name... Geeez. "Na.I.No Dung". Yeeaaaa, I bet you fight like a smelly Dung. Ok I'll quit it. Sorry Mr. Dung

    Barca vs. Hopps
    Dustin Barca, DEC
    I wonder why Dustin Barca spent the last 6 years on the shelf. I wonder what he been doing all this time.

    Hose vs. Gamble
    Marcus Gamble, TKO, R1
    Here's the same deal as the last fight. What has Kala Hose done in the last 6 years since his last fight? Usually someone away that long..... They never end up coming back.

    Macfarlane vs. Létourneau
    Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, DEC
    Toughest test Bellator can give Ilima-Lei, but I don't think Letourenau has enough left in the tank to get it done.

    Machida vs. Carvalho
    Lyoto Machida, DEC
    Lyoto is the better fighter, as long as his chin holds up, he'll get it done.

    Gracie vs. Ruth
    Ed Ruth, TKO, R3
    The two wildcards of the tournament. I don't know an awful lot about either guy. I think Ruth is more well rounded, with both KO power and ground game, so I think he'll get it done.

    Lawal vs. McGeary
    Muhammed Lawal, DEC
    Both need a win. Always going throw any logic out the window and root for my fellow countryman. 🤷‍♂️

    Barca vs. Hopps
    Isaac Hopps, SUB, R3
    Barca's had some time off huh?

    Hose vs. Gamble
