Now this sort of matchup is what I wish Bellator would do with their prospects more often. Should be a great fight

Cheick Kongo, DEC
I don't understand why Kharitonov is a big favourite here... I know he hits like a Russian truck, but Kongo, despite his age (46 ! ), is still a top 10 heavyweight and could beat some ranked UFC fighters IMO... He always was a very underated fighter anyway, maybe because of his boring style, nut shots and lack of charisma.

Cheick Kongo, TKO, R2
Hahahah this is not Pride sergie or russian rigged bumfights gonna lose his choice how thats about it.
Oh **** ****.. I had serg confused with another large russian pride fighter..still keep my pick.
Could be a FOTN or a boring decision with lots of wrestling from kongo.

Sergei Kharitonov, TKO, R3
I expect to see an all out slug fest with Kharitonov landing the cleaner and more damaging shots.
Wilson vs. Borics
Jay Jay Wilson, SUB, R3
Wilson to remain undefeated. I think he's got the better striking and grappling.
Storley vs. Schiro
Logan Storley, DEC
The boy Logan to get a TKO via GnP👊
Schoenfelder vs. Childs
Bailey Schoenfelder, TKO, R1
Bailey has some crazy power. 1st round TKO👀
Aguiar vs. Johnson
Taylor Johnson, SUB, R2
Johnson with the more solid wrestling and some power in his punches. Leaning on him to keep this fight on the ground to get a few submission attempts for the finish.
Hamel vs. Logan
Bryce Logan, DEC
Comfortable decision win for Logan.
Colgan vs. Fisher
Archie Colgan, TKO, R1
Fisher is struggling to find consistency. Colgan has the tools and power to finish this fight.
Tiller vs. Golm
Kelvin Tiller, DEC
Backing Tiller based on his experience. Golm has 3 Ls in a row and I don't see him turning a new leaf here.
Ferguson Jr. vs. Lincoln
Cody Lincoln, SUB, R3
Cody to take this fight to the ground to get a submission or grind out a decision victory.

Cheick Kongo, TKO, R1
Sergei's been taking tune-up fights since getting his cheeks clapped by Vassel, time to swim with the sharks again
Wilson vs. Borics
Ádám Borics, DEC
I feel Wilson is being rushed into this fight, with another year or two of development I'd probably change my pick
Storley vs. Schiro
Logan Storley, DEC
You could say he's gonna... put Dante through hell. I'll show myself out.
Golm vs. Swanson
Marcelo Golm, TKO, R1
Levels to da game
Lugo vs. Lee
Jornel Lugo, DEC
Keith Lee isn't nearly as good as Cass Bell, Lugo should win this easily.
Johnson vs. Fisher
Duane Johnson, TKO, R1
Fisher is one rusty-ass can.
Schoenfelder vs. Childs
Bailey Schoenfelder, TKO, R1
-600 is still too steep
Nielsen vs. Moegenburg
Jeff Nielsen, TKO, R1
Kory's gonna die
