Ryan Bader: We tried hard but looks like fighting for the Rizin belt isn’t going to happen next. Just couldn’t come to terms where it made sense. I’m looking to return to the @bellatormma cage sometime in February. LHW 👊🏽
Next opponent for Jiri Prochazka is known, but still can't be revealed.

Ayaka Hamasaki, DEC
I just don't see Ham being able to pull out a win vs. Hamasaki. I think she just has her number. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Hamasaki submits Ham, I'm thinking late R2, early R3.
Case vs. Musaev
Tofiq Musaev, TKO, R2
It's simple. I haven't been reeeaal impressed with Johnny Case for a looong time. I'm looking at Musaev for the upset win.
Pitbull vs. Gustavo
Patricky Pitbull, TKO, R2
Since being KO'd by Michael Chandler at Bellator 157, Patricky has arguably been on the biggest run of his career, running out his win streak to 6. And he's finished 4/6. So considering he's in the prime of his career, I just see it being wayyyy tooo much for a tough prospect in Gustavo. A loss to Pitbull isn't gonna destroy this kid with tons of upside.
Motoya vs. Mix
Patchy Mix, SUB, R2
Patrick Mix is a ************* stud. This kid has very quickly become one of my favorite Bantamweight's...... Period. I mean outta all the prospects, contenders, & champions. Just watch the kid. He's electric. Annnd then you gotta keep in mind, yesss, he's won 12 straight fights. He's undefeated as not just a pro, but undefeated period. Combining his amateur career as well, Mix is on a 23 fight win streak. NEVER been beaten. Time to move outta the way Darrion Caldwell, there's a new guy ready & primed to take your place.
Asakura vs. Teixeira
John Teixeira, DEC
Woooow. You guys are sleeping on John Macápa. Look, these Asakura kids are legit fighters. All of em. However, John Teixeira is the most dangerous opponent Mikuru will have ever faced off against.
VanZandt vs. Kubota
Lindsey VanZandt, TKO, R2
I think VanZandt proves that the 1st time wasn't a fluke and beats Kubota in even more spectacular fashion..
Shemetov vs. Biyong
Simon Biyong, TKO, R1
Some weird body frames here. Biyong is 5" taller than Shemetov. But Shemetov has a 4" reach advantage. Strange. Shemetov needs any advantage he can, because he's already at a disadvantage before the bell even rings.
Procházka vs. Dollaway
Jiří Procházka, TKO, R2
I like how CB Dollaway hasn't fought in 15 months, annnd stumbles into Japan for a world title fight. Imagine if Dollaway wins. Uggggh that'd be awful. Idk, I guess I'm just super duper salty that it's not someone better facing Procházka. When the whole "Bellator -X- Rizin" event was announced, i did hear rumors for an outstanding fight between champions Jiří Procházka & Ryan Bader. Annnd we didn't get it. Unfortunately.
Asakura vs. Kape II
Kai Asakura, DEC
Here's another banger. Ppl reeeaally sleeping on Kape tooo, who veryy well could crack Asakura and put him out. I expect this fight to far outshine the 1st meeting.
