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.

Piedmont needs to make it a wrestling match, their standup is too even.

This fight reminds me so much of the Brookins/Koch fight.  The wrestler who can't get it to the ground so he goes to the clinch because he gets his ass kicked in the standup.

I expected a little more from the guy with The Dominator in his corner.

Comes down to if that late takedown in the 1st stole the round for Piedmont. I think Porter wins 29-28
