There are two lines that make no sense this week at a Pick Em
Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 395 Points | Tied for 623rd
And the other is Lewis Long at -110 or -115. I know they list him as -145... This is currently a pick em on most books. I think he subs Gouti ITD. Gouti has a forgettable UFC run and has been facing mediocre comp. He is moving up to 170 lbs for this fight and is 35 years old now. I get he is at home in France... But that is really the only reason he is on this card. I am going to be heavily invested in Long.

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 590 Points | Tied for 52nd
Ryan Bader, DEC
Idk who wins this. Way closer than odds should be
Romero vs. Polizzi
Alex Polizzi, DEC
I really like this fight but unfortunately it’s very tough for yoel to win. I mean, we did so Polizzi hurt about 5000 different times in his last fight, and yoel does hit like a truck. But he’s also old and throws about 2 sig strikes per 3 minutes and despite being an Olympic wrestler he never uses it. There’s literally 0 quit in Polizzi so as long as he avoids bombs I think he’s just gonna overwhelm him
Larkin vs. Stewart
Lorenz Larkin, DEC
Actually pissed about this because Larkin vs Khalid/adams was gonna be good. I mean this could be ok but Stewart has panned out to be not that great
Shipman vs. Babene
Gregory Babene, SUB, R1
Babene deceptive record
Carvalho vs. Niedzielski
Pedro Carvalho, DEC
Tough one to pick
Bak vs. Leary
Soren Bak, SUB, R1
Wouldn’t be a Bellator card without a blatant mismatch.

Sadura currently a 89% pick on here but watching any tape I could of her, I find her to look far too timid with her stand-up and I'm not overly impressed with her ground-work either. Can see Bertaud out striking her on way to a UD.
Most Confident Pick: Lorenz Larkin
Lorenz Larkin does very little wrong anywhere and has faced a handful of higher caliber fighters and won. I think this is a mismatch. Larkin by UD.
