Cheick Kongo, TKO, R3
Say what you want about Kongo, but he has the most victories in Bellator heavyweight history (12-2), including wins over top 10 UFC fighters Volkov and Sakai, as well as a nice win over Minakov. His only losses are decisions to KingMo Lawal and Minakov... His UFC reccord was very decent as well (11-6), including wins over Crocop, Mitrione, a comeback of the century against Pat Barry, and let's not forget he gave Cain Velasquez his toughest fight until Werdum... At 45 years old, he is still winning, the guy had a very memorable carreer, and I hope he can get the win in front of his French fans in Paris... Respect.

Lucie Bertaud, DEC
I know she Bertaud doesn’t have a strong chance of winning, but she was my boxing coach for a few years in Vincennes, France, so I’m biased. She was a very talented olympic boxer so she still has a chance if the fight doesn’t go to the ground, but this is MMA...

Nothing wrong with picking who you like more rather than who you think is most likely to win. I do it all the time.

Michael Page, TKO, R2
Don't really care to see this fight. I dislike how protected MVP is and I don't really see anything different here just glancing at Ross Houston's record and watching the Dalby fight.
Kongo vs. Johnson II
Cheick Kongo, TKO, R1
I mean, he beat Timothy and he beat the last person to defeat Timothy. I know MMAth isn't real, but it's hard to argue for a reason as to why Timothy Johnson would win this other than luck.
Enkamp vs. Dawa
Oliver Enkamp, DEC
How on earth Oliver let Nordine Taleb beat him when that was basically a gimme win for him is beyond me. But I can't pick Dawa to lose here, doesn't mean Enkamp can't **** the bed and be hesitant.
Brazier vs. Landu
Terry Brazier, DEC
Now here's a good fight! Both of these guys are good fighters, but Brazier is a step above in the TD and Striking. Maybe not fight of the night, but this should be a better showing than most of the fights we see on Bellator cards.
Wooding vs. Diatta
Dominique Wooding, DEC
Fabacary Diatta has some unfortunate teeth and so I will pick against him. I expect a pretty amateur level fight here, but I could be pleasantly surprised.
N'Doye vs. Clarke
Ciaran Clarke, SUB, R2
Here's why I love bellator/LFA. Unlike the UFC where the bookies have a really good read on most fights, and they royally **** up the lines maybe 1/20 or 1/30 fights. On Bellator there is one or more every single card. Why on earth is the man who *****ed out of fighting, lost to someone who was 5-3, and has had 6 fights in the last DECADE a favorite? I'll take the guy who has had 30 fights in the last decade over the man with 6. Also, I watched Jean's fights and he looked decent at best, good striking but really bad jits, he knows how to perform techniques but I doubt he's going to tap any high level fighters.
Logan vs. Gomis
William Gomis, TKO, R1
Should be Gomis fighting Clarke and Logan fight Jean. But I'm not a matchmaker.
Rogers vs. Mezhidov
Saul Rogers, TKO, R3
This is another really good fight. Saul Rogers is a lock IMO, and I placed him in two parlays. One with Tagir and the other with Aspinall.
Burnell vs. Banović
Mads Burnell, SUB, R1
Why on earth is this so low on the card? This is my most anticipated fight, Mads Burnell isn't just Bellator good. He's good good. I'd love to see him make his way over to the UFC soon.
Scope vs. Omer
Alan Omer, DEC
Meh, didn't really research this one very well. But it looks like the bookies got it right,
Bulaid vs. Naccari
Ivan Naccari, DEC
And here is your FoTN. Now I get why this one is low on the card, these guys aren't MMA fighters so you can't really feature them. But we have two high level kickboxers who are gonna sling leather with 4oz gloves. I love these type of fights, and especially for the position on the card. It's a great appetizer and although I think these guys will respect eachother too much to get the finish I expect fireworks all three rounds since neither is really cutting a lot of weight for a 155 fight when though both KB at 66kg. Odds are off though IMO, might take a shot on Naccari, have a bit more tape to watch.

Integral New Predictions
Predictions: 5 of 10 Winners, 1 Perfect, 275 Points | Tied for 468th
I believe in Terry Brazier at -315. He has a yappy ankle lock and a zesty suplex and also a youthful gogoplata. Brazier is about to coach the bandit. Believe it!
Wooding vs. Diatta
I take Dominique Wooding at -130. He has an incredible kimura and a creative uppercut. Wooding could drain the adversary.
Rogers vs. Mezhidov
I finger Saul Rogers at -245. He has an intelligent counter left. Rogers will operate the natural order.
Berchel vs. Bertaud
I am all about Maguy Berchel at -340. She has an automatic omoplata. Berchel will likely blast the victory.
N'Doye vs. Clarke
I believe in Jean N'Doye at -255. He has a youthful crossface. N'Doye can kick the cage. Заруби ceбe на носу!
Enkamp vs. Dawa
I feel disposed to Oliver Enkamp at -275. He has a heavenly butterfly sweep. Enkamp won't avoid the corner man.
Kongo vs. Johnson II
I predict Cheick Kongo at -150. He has a noble mentality. Kongo shall knuckle the natural order.
Page vs. Houston
I like Michael Page at -460. He has an ironic level change. Page must nullify the senses.
Burnell vs. Banović
I tap Mads Burnell at -810. He has a twisted stutter step. Burnell shall blast the opposing forces.
Scope vs. Omer
I take Alan Omer at -295. He has a woebegone inverted atomic drop. Omer can kiss the natural order.
Bulaid vs. Naccari
I am loyal to Ilias Bulaid at -500. He has an amoral heart stomp. Bulaid ought to blend the masterpiece.
