Sabatello's MMA Hour Interview was good, happy Ariel asked good questions and let Danny Sabatello talk; unlike McCarthy who kept interrupting him after his win in the quarterfinals.

Another Meh Bellator Event

i cant even blame them as now they really dont have a lot of the star power they had at one point now that all the legends they picked up have mostly retired anyways theirs still a couple of fights im looking forward too on this card 

Ive been finding it pretty entertaining watching cody law squash cans we get another one of those here 

on paper magomed vs barzola is fun but i actually think the fight turns out to be one of those boring decision fights that your only sticking around to see who won I actually find sabatello vs Higo more entertaining Higo might be able to stop sabbatellos relentless wrestling and pace and maybe we can see more of dannys standup game im actually excited to watch that fight 

lastly i think that bellator has a solid main event here mousasi likely wins but Eblen is pretty good and maybe he could do something considering mousasui doesn't fare well against wrestlers i think this will be a fun fight while it lasts

Magomedov vs. Barzola
Magomed Magomedov, DEC
What am I not seeing here. Magimedov is 1.6 at the bookie, for what is basically a lock…? He has way better wrestling, better cardio, better hands, and better power. Fighting someone in Barzola who has 0 knockdown, 0 5 round fight experience, and average cardio.

Not better cardio. Barzolas cardio is top tier.

Thats the only concern in not betting magomed

He has a workman’s pace. But his output is so slow and he bombs on late round TDs that he was able to get in the first round. I think he puts up like 25 strikes a round on average. He doesn’t gas, but he does so little that I don’t rate his cardio.

Gegard Mousassi vs Johnny Eblen
Gegard Mousassi TKO R2 
From what I’ve seen Eblen is a good fighter, he also beat a good friend of mine so I can’t talk **** on the guy. 
He’ll probably put up a good fight but Gegard has proven for years that it takes something special to beat him and unfortunately for him I don’t think Eblen is that guy


Leandro Higo vs Danny Sabatello
Danny Sabatello TKO R4
Danny Sabatello should win this one easy. He’s got great wrestling to couple with great cardio and pressure. He’s a lot like Colby but with much worse standup. I actually like Colby more than him, Colby is at least pretty funny in comparison to his Bantamweight counterpart


Brendan Ward vs Kassius Kayne
Kassius Kayne KO R1
Ward should win this, he’s just got this tendency to get mollywhopped whenever he loses. That’s why I pick Kassius as my upset, he’s got knockout power that cannot be denied. I’ve seen him knockout a guy I think fairly highly of in Ivey Nixon. Since then he has been very hit or miss but I’ll still pick him for the loles. Especially if he somehow wins

Sabatello is on fire here, he almost reminds me of a young Josh Koscheck.

“For about five to six weeks now, I’ve been simulating his style. Before I spar, I go up to my partners and I say, ‘Hey, fight me really s***** because that’s what Higo’s going to do. He’s a s***** fighter.’ 

LMAO he better win now.

He does have fair points tbh; Higo can’t make weight at all. He should get punished

Lmao, I just know the man. It’s a bias thing ya know, he used to put on really exciting fights in my neck of the woods. I don’t think he’ll become a major promotion champion or anything, just a solid and exciting regional fighter
