Liz Carmouche, DEC
I think carmouche is pretty underrated. She had some good wins in the ufc and has been running through her Bellator comp thus far. Velasquez is good but she shouldn’t even be champ rn imo, as I thought she lost to kielholtz
Barzola vs. Mikhailov
Nikita Mikhailov, DEC
I can’t believe the respect barzola is getting. This guy was sub par in the ufc at best. Mikhailov is hella underrated imo; not many holes in his game and I was happy to get him at plus money.
Lugo vs. Sabatello
Danny Sabatello, DEC
Sabatello reminds me of a squeaker from COD. His fighting style is as interesting as watching paint dry too. That being said, he’s incredibly skilled; a win over Brett johns is impressive regardless. Lugo is good but I think he should have been built up more before being thrown into this tourney.
Edwards vs. Neal
Grant Neal, DEC
I can’t figure out who wins this and it’s pissing me off. Good matchmaking for once Bellator
Muro vs. Andrews
Nate Andrews, SUB, R2
Rematch from the regional scene
Zane vs. Musayev
Tofiq Musayev, TKO, R1
Lol cmon Bellator, do better than this.
Perez vs. Hamilton
Erik Perez, DEC
Hamilton is better than his record would show. Perez isn’t a world beater so cee jay could make it competitive but I still don’t see him winning
Cooper vs. Perry
Makoa Cooper, TKO, R1
Perry hasn’t woken up from when he fought coopers other brother

If they stacked this card up a little more it would've been pretty crazy still will be a good watch.
Will be a good weekend with the PFL, Bellator and UFC

Juliana Velasquez, DEC
I think Velasquez is a little faster, but Carmouche might have a strength advantage and be able to bully her. I wouldn't be surprised to see Liz take a decision.
Edwards vs. Neal
Grant Neal, TKO, R1
Now we find out who is the better of the lesser brothers
Cooper vs. Perry
Makoa Cooper, TKO, R1
Perry was already KO'd in 9 seconds by Cooper's brother, who has a 9 second KO win of his own.

Hahahah Sabatello telling Lugo after face offs "you want it 2nd round or 3rd round?" Then precedes to tell Lugo he sucks. 🤣🤣😭

Schiro/Hao o1.5
Andrews/Muro u2.5
Edwards/Neal o1.5
+771 combined. Feel like all of them make sense - Hao has only been stopped once and Schiro is a wrestler, Andrews has finished all but one of his wins (and already finished Muro before!) and Manny has been stopped in his last 5 losses I believe, and, unless Edwards uncorks a head kick, him and Neal should hit the scorecards.
