I get what you're saying, but it's a matchup thing here. Lombardo is not the worst guy ever, but he doesn't have a reliable path to victory against Crutchmer I think. His kicks will be nullified by having to defend takedowns constantly,


If it were Crutchmer pre-Lachinov fight, then he'd at least have a willing partner on the feet at times, but nowadays Kyle only relies on his wrestling as he should.

I have no doubt it will be wrestle-**** all day.  I just hate wagering those fights.  Although, for whatever reason, I've seen much worse judging in the UFC than in Bellator.  Which is probably because Bellator fights are generally cut and dry with little grease.

I hope yag can win because he’s pretty good but has just had a really tough run thus far. Carvalho has not looked good in a while but he’s also losing to top guys. Not really sure who wins this

Nemkov already beat Phil Davis via decision twice and also got a sub on Anglickas in the 4th, he's not KO or bust, lol.

Even if he was, that's a very viable path against someone who's been finished in 4 out of his 5 losses.

I like Nemkov, comes from a sambo background and trains with Fedor, Tokov and Valentin Moldavsky who are gonna prepare him to the max on the ground. I think he's got the ability to stuff those takedowns and on the feet he's got a much better chin and far more diverse striking arsenal. I see why Corey is live to win but I think he gets starched. Will never trust that chin.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 12 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 840 Points   |   42nd Place

McKee Jr. vs. Pitbull II
AJ McKee Jr., TKO, R1
AJ is going to put him all the way to sleep so he can't protest again, even though Pitbull got TKO'd then submitted last time.

Nemkov vs. Anderson
Vadim Nemkov, SUB, R5
I don't think Anderson will be able to impose his grinding wrestling style against a grappler like Nemkov, and Vadim has faster hands and a greater arsenal of strikes to choose from.

Johnson vs. Vassell
Linton Vassell, TKO, R1
This fight should be nuts

Fortune vs. Cleveland
Tyrell Fortune, TKO, R1
wrasslin

Anderson vs. Donaldson
Laird Anderson, SUB, R1
The prop on Anderson by sub is probably juicy if you can find a book that offers it
