Bellator's 5th season continues tonight! Stepping into the cage on the main card are the BANTAMWEIGHT tournament semi-finalists.  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.   Your picks, as well as a link to embed the image, and the top of the site-wide leaderboard will all 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.

@Fresno Sean Wheelock is just an announcer guy, but the other guy Jimmy Smith had a show on TV where him and his friend would go learn different fighting styles around the world and at the end they'd do an actual fight with what they learned, it was an awesome show a few years ago. I think it was uh, Fight Quest. He also has 6 MMA fights going 5-1 and he submitted James Wilkes. 

He's a cool guy and a good commentator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Smith_(fighter)

I would actually be at this fight had i been able to get today off of work.

A co-worker of mine put in for vacation today while i was off and i wasnt able to get it in. Im now the only one working tonight so i cant call in so im stuck watching it on a computer when its happening 10 miles away.

Wow I picked Piedmont because Porter looks like a d-bag in his picture but he sounds like the real deal, I'm glad I picked him.  Plus he's got those guys in his corner he must be pretty good.

Yeah Fight Quest was awesome, I remember the Dutch Kickboxing episode, they were really fighting at the end throwing head kicks and ****.

Porter needs to stop clinching. 

edit: and his corner agrees

He just might have sealed that round with that last-second TD to mount.
