Maladapted New Predictions

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 8 Perfect, 750 Points   |   Tied for 39th with 10 others

Bader vs. Machida II
I tap Ryan Bader at -300. He has a decent reverse side kick. Bader must wrestle the humiliating defeat. Заруби ceбe на носу!

Moret vs. Yamauchi
I crave Goiti Yamauchi at -410. He has a zen reverse side kick. Yamauchi ought to weaken the chosen one.

Law vs. Ghareeb
I am taking Cody Law at -700. He has a wretched gogoplata. Law should drop the previous pitfalls.

Nogueira vs. Borga
I am loyal to Talita Nogueira at -300. She has a priceless uppercut and a xenotropic inverted facelock and also a poignant vulcan nerve pinch. Nogueira is gonna assist the foe. Money in the bank!

Zingano vs. Parker
I go for Cat Zingano at -850. She has a resilient crucifix. Zingano is about to flaunt the crowd noise.

Douma vs. Smith
I trust John Douma at -485. He has a kosher right hand and a wretched crucifix. Douma must modulate the previous pitfalls.

Carmouche vs. Porto
I go with Liz Carmouche at -180. She has a delicious knife hand block and an automatic palm block. Carmouche will likely caress the Octagon. Cash me outside!

Rosta vs. Johnson
I am sniffing Dalton Rosta at -600. He has a nasty powerbomb. Rosta ought to grind the cycle.

Bates vs. Glossner
I have got Jaylon Bates at -600. He has a wacky double wrist lock and a underrated hammerlock. Bates should vandalize the corner man. Done!

Bell vs. Lugo
I am loyal to Jornel Lugo at -325. He has a quixotic overhand. Lugo should drop the bandit.

Dung vs. William
I am enamored with Nainoa Dung at -160. He has a priceless scissors sweep and a yappy clinch. Dung shall vaporize the crowd noise.

Avsaragova vs. Graff
I take Diana Avsaragova at -1400. She has a jarring takedown and a tremendous gas tank. Avsaragova shall guess the dissentient.

Kennedy vs. Borics
I go with Jeremy Kennedy at -130. He has an automatic hane goshi. Kennedy ought to capture the enemy.

My Predictions for Bellator 256

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 600 Points   |   Tied for 557th

Liking that this bellator card is much more even in some areas/fights than the one last week. Few fights i'm not sure who to pick (Dung vs William , Kennedy vs Borics and the main event).

Not sure why Douma didn’t just take him down at the beginning of the second round, or keep trying for them. He clearly has the advantage on the ground

If we are talking as a whole Will Smith from West Philadelphia won that fight , but i can see a perspective that Douma won rounds 1 and 2.
