Corey Anderson, DEC
Manhoef is still incredibly dangerous on the feet, but both have very fragile chins... Corey is still the safe choice at this point, but it will be a crazy first round for sure.

Melvin Manhoef, TKO, R1
Anderson is coming off of a disgusting knockout loss and hasn't been out of the USADA pool long enough to really get juicy. I think he's gonna get KO'd again in this fight and I love Manhoef at dog odds. I also don't think Anderson will KO Manhoef
Fortune vs. Sowma
Tyrell Fortune, DEC
This is a really hard one to call, I have no confidence in this pick whatsoever.
Anderson vs. Mota
Killys Mota, DEC
Probably gonna get crushed on these picks this week but my gut is pulling against the majority a lot. How can you pick against the man with the coolest name in all of combat sports?! Who has a cooler name than Killys Mota?

Corey Anderson, TKO, R2
Honestly, I expect nothing less. Incoming talent ALWAYS getting the "Bellator Star Treatment". And Manhoef didn't look that great imo, Give a round for Anderson to figure **** out mentally, and let Melvin throw a few bombs, get a little tired and then overwhelm him with pace in R2.
Anderson vs. Mota
Derek Anderson, DEC
I can't be the only one who wished they got to see more of Derek Anderson. Inactivity has put a damper on his career a bit, and that inactivity could hurt him here. We'll see.
Logan vs. Karakhanyan
Bryce Logan, DEC
Definitely a better opportunity for Logan, and I like this fight, stylewise for Logan...
Anglickas vs. Polizzi
Julius Anglickas
73% for Polizzi, but this is the biggest flip-flopper for me... Still unsure

Predictions: 7 of 8 Winners, 4 Perfect, 450 Points | Tied for 293rd
I am enamored with Ali Zebian at -425. He has a gauche reverse frankensteiner. Zebian can assist the ring announcer.
Vanderford vs. de Jesus
I select Austin Vanderford at -410. He has a proficient approach and a maniacal fallaway moonsault slam. Vanderford shall captivate the achievement.
Inaba vs. Ruiz
I predict Sumiko Inaba at -500. She has a natural fight IQ. Inaba might assist the enemy.
Harding vs. Miele
I am all over Jessy Miele at -140. She has a gifted crossface. Miele might ravage the previous pitfalls.
Anderson vs. Mota
I am taking Derek Anderson at -275. He has a tasty powerbomb and an amazing oshi-dashi. Anderson will undress the opposing forces. Never fails!
Fortune vs. Sowma
I am with Tyrell Fortune at -650. He has a quirky gas tank and a venomous back mount and also a kinky kimura. Fortune shall maintain the cake.
Bates vs. Supino
I lean towards Jaylon Bates at -600. He has a gifted check hook. Bates must quench the achievement. Oss!
Manhoef vs. Anderson
I favor Corey Anderson at -525. He has a perfect clavicle crusher. Anderson will ignite the senses. Easiest pick of the night!
