A lot of fights  fights are at weird weights?  2 at 175, 2 at 165 and 1 at 140. 

I take it a load of guys miss weight?  Can't tell from the weigh in video as the announcer just gives the weigh in weight.  Gonna have a scan on Twitter and see who missed as that will affect my picks

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 795 Points   |   Tied for 36th with 8 others

Fortune vs. Schaffroth
Tyrell Fortune, TKO, R2
Fortune looks like a great Heavyweight prospect. Has elite wrestling and his striking is improving every fight. Big Rudy is a bit of a lump but he's got some power and any Heavyweight is dangerous. Maybe Fortune uses his wrestling a bit more here and possibly gets a GNP TKO.

Newell vs. Browning
Nick Newell, SUB, R1
Brownings run as spoiler is likely over pretty quickly here. Newell is many many levels above Baby Slice and Geordie Shore!!! Quick sub win here

Homasi vs. Terrill
Sabah Homasi, DEC
Nearly all Terrills wins are against opponents with losing records! At least Homasi has fought on the biggest stage and has some wins over half decent opposition, training at ATT is a big plus too. He could easily get starched here but I'll go with experience at a higher level makes the difference.

Kimbel vs. Disonell
Mike Kimbel, DEC
This Kimbel kid is annoying AF!!! Guy talks like he's the 2nd coming of Anderson Silva. Very unlikable character. What I also find to be ******** is the kid who subbed Kimbel easy in a round, John Douma, hasn't been given another opportunity in Bellator and this ******** is still being talked about as a top prospect and as if that loss never happened, ***? I see a devastating KO loss in the not too distant future for Kimbel! His last fight was against a complete jobber and he couldn't get him out of there going to a split decision, then he claimed he meant to go the distance to prove the doubters he got cardio!!!! ****! ********! If you haven't guessed yet I'd love to see Kimbel KO'D here! But this opponent isn't the greatest. I sometimes feel like the UFC pushes prospects too quickly but Bellator are the complete opposite, unless its Pico!, This little ******* most likely gets a win then claims he's coming for the belt in his post fight interview. Please MMA Gods!!!!!

Gracie vs. Vera
Khonry Gracie, SUB, R1
I am not impressed in the slightest by Khonry!!! For such a lauded BJJ ace he hasn't managed to submit any of the sub par opposition he's been up against, 1 guy he couldn't take down and lost an embarrassing decision! And you know Coker has been spoon feeding him whitebelts in the hopes of getting the Bellator highlight of a Gracie winning by sub! I'm really tempted to pick Vera here but I seen his last fight against another Gracie Jr and he was easily subbed. I'll pick Gracie but if he can't get it to the ground early don't be surprised if he can pull of an upset

Johnson vs. Anyanwu
Timothy Johnson, DEC
Does Timothy still have the moustache??? If he does I'm picking him, he doesn't he gets KO'D. There is great power in that moustache!!!

Vanderford vs. Creer
Austin Vanderford, SUB, R1
Should be a straight forward win for Mr VanZandt. Takedown, move to dominant position, only question for me is whether or not its a GNP TKO or a Submission?

Mitrione vs. Kharitonov
Matt Mitrione, TKO, R1
Kinda shocked Mitrione is the older of the two. I've been tossing on this fight for awhile, tho not recently. I'm making rash decisions on everything, annnd I kinda expect Mitrione to do the same here. I expect him to blow his load in the 1st, and if he don't finish it, then I think Kharitōnov wins. And he'll KO him... Sooo, Mitrione early, Kharitōnov a little later....

Lara vs. Turner
Alejandra Lara, SUB, R2
The 9%'ers got some balls.... I evidently do not.

Fortune vs. Schaffroth
Tyrell Fortune, TKO, R1
Fortune has outstanding wrestling... What I wanna see, is him use it, take this northwestern hillbilly down, and brutalize him in R1. If it isn't Yves Lavigne, or that other duuude that did the UFC PPV, it'll get stopped.

Rickels vs. Amosov
Yaroslav Amosov, TKO, R3
David Rickels at 175lbs..... against Amosov? yeeeaaaaah that sucks.

Newell vs. Browning
Nick Newell, SUB, R1
Sorry Mr. Hype Train Killa. You're dream state ends here.

Kimbel vs. Disonell
Mike Kimbel, TKO, R2
Maaaan this ****-king guy again. Something about Kimbel reeaaally irks me. I just wanna see him get smashed. Heyyy Bellator... Where the **** is John Douma?

Bandejas vs. Kayretli
Ricky Bandejas, TKO, R2
Why is this fight NOT on the main card??? I see fire here. Sleeper for FOTN.

Gozali vs. Muravitskiy
Aviv Gozali, SUB, R1
Bellator just loooves spoon feeding a select group of guys... Geeezus.

Xhema vs. Dixon
Kastriot Xhema, TKO, R1
Enter Your Comments Am I seeing this right.... Weeeee get not one, but two ************* caveman's???? Ahhhhhh ****, there's no such things as a coincidence.. I'm not taking either one.

I see Newell is on this card. I'll always pick a guy with a lamprey for a left arm, I guess. Seems like a good advantage to have. I wonder if at least once in his life he's stirred a pot of soup with it.

I'm hung over. The problem with pancakes is that they aren't big enough to sleep on.
