and yes Eblen is definitely the real deal. I am a little hesitant for him to be -1000 against huckbody; who's a decent fighter but far better than anyone else Eblen has fought up until this point. But eblen's skills seem pretty legit. I think the line is priced a little incorrectly, but thats bellator for you.

If crutchmer tries that , hell most likely be submitted. Enkamp is all around the better fighter. He's got almost a 10 inch reach advantage and he has way more KO power. This is easy money for Enkamp at +100. Also, Crutchmer has a pretty ****** gas tank , so..

Was looking into Horiguchi, I now remember researching him when Manel Kape first came into the UFC. You are absolutely right, he has to be one of the best fighters in that weight class in the world. And so under rated, he is absolutely a lock against the lesser Pettis. I am going big on him! Thanks for your info!

What do you guys think about Kai Kamaka against John De Jesus? I have always liked KK and thought he won a lot of his fights in the UFC that didn't go his way. But that reach advantage for JDJ, does he know how to use it properly?

Still keen to go for KK as I really like him, but the size difference is giving me pause

Honestly very hesitant to bet Kai. I feel like there’s a lot of intrigue in him because he was “unfairly cut from the ufc” but honestly, I’ve never been impressed with him. Gonna fade and if I’m wrong, I’m wrong

this was a reply to a previous post regarding someone fading all the big favorites...

you may want to double check your stats...i made a ton of money this year parlaying bellator big favorites....sure there is an upset once in a while but not remotely close to how often you are remembering it to be...

Pettis vs. Horiguchi
Kyoji Horiguchi, SUB, R3
What an insane matchup, I can't believe Kyoji is only 31 years old!

Sanchez vs. Kennedy
Jeremy Kennedy, DEC
Not sure why everyone is sleeping on Kennedy. I know smellator wants to give Sanchez a win, especially when he's on a card with a Roufusport teammate in the main event but Kennedy has been fighting the best for a long time.

Hill vs. Scoggins
Jared Scoggins, DEC
This fight looks so even, I'm going to pick the guy who's 9 years younger I guess.

Eblen vs. Huckbody
Johnny Eblen, DEC
wrasslin

Shabliy vs. King
Alexander Shabliy, TKO, R2
Shabliy is a step above Nick Newell, who King barely sc****d by.

Montalvo vs. Bohn
Justin Montalvo, TKO, R2
Montalvo's biggest test so far and I think he passes with a flying knee

Hamel vs. Mota
Killys Mota, TKO, R3
Coolest name ever

Carlyle vs. Moret
Spike Carlyle, SUB, R1

Pettis vs. Horiguchi
Kyoji Horiguchi, TKO, R4
Kyoji Horiguchi was probably the scariest fighter in RIZIN so I hope he can continue that Bellator! This is the most excited I've been about a Bellator main event for a while!

Kamaka III vs. De Jesus
Kai Kamaka III, DEC
Kai Kamaka III wasn't quite ready for the UFC but a spell in Bellator could help him get his career back on track. If he gains a little more experience and has a resurgence in Bellator then I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the UFC in a few years. That hypothetical scenario all starts with this fight which is certainly isn't a pushover but one I think he should win relatively comfortably.

I'm still salty Horiguchi didn't resign with UFC. I'd favour him to become flyweight champion in all honesty

@Hadrian Caesar

I think that might've been a great move by him actually. He's really made a name for himself in RIZIN and I'm sure the UFC would've found some way of screwing him over so I'm glad that he spent some time away fighting in RIZIN and continuing to raise his profile. Also from the fans point of view, it's important to see more world level fighters fighting outside of the UFC just for the sake of competition. Nothing really comes close to the UFC of course but if the UFC has a lacklustre card that clashes with another promotion's that has a world class name on it then I'll happily snub the UFC and catch up with it later.
