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:

Enjoy the fights and good luck in your predictions!

I know, but sometimes just getting the win is enough.
Mpumbu is the current LHW champion in Bellator.
Shouldn't he be able to beat Wiuff? But he couldn't.
Wiuff used the point system, won the fight, and made Bellator's LHW depth look not so deep.

I agree that Mpumbu would have faired much better in a 5 round fight.
But he and Wiuff both knew this was 3 rounds, and Wiuff did his job.
I wouldn't want to stand with Mpumbu either, so I can't blame Wiuff.
I picked him by TKO in the second, but he wasn't finishing.
