HW:  Jared Vanderaa

BW:  Fernie Garcia 
FLW: JP Buys (if he’s still on the roster)
WFW: Everyone besides nunes and Dumont 
WBW: Wu Yanan (The fact that I actually believe Julija Stoliarenko wins here feels so bizarre)

Good list. It’s too hard for me to single out the actual worst, because it does a disservice to the other cans on the roster.

Mike Jackson might bet he worst.  However, his DQ win his last fight won me some good money.  :)

I dont get how some fighters are coming off one, or even two, Fight Night losses, in a row and then get put on a PPV?

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 8 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 525 Points   |   Tied for 601st

Costa vs. Rockhold
Paulo Costa, TKO, R1
Rockhold is better everywhere, except in the chin department. It may be the only time I will be rooting for him, tho.

Tybura vs. Romanov
Marcin Tybura, DEC
Romanov has been impressive thus far, but Tybura is tough, and has good TD defense. If he can survive the first round and a half, Romanov tends to slow down a bit...

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 1 of 3 Winners, 0 Perfect, 50 Points   |   Tied for 4896th

Usman vs. Edwards II
Kamaru Usman
Kamaru Usman anyday because he knocked out Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards was saved by the bell in Nate Diaz fight.

Costa vs. Rockhold
Paulo Costa
I will go with heavyweight Paulo Costa. If Costs has not lost the motivation after recent losses, he will come back in a dog fight.

Aldo vs. Dvalishvili
José Aldo
Jose Aldo is a legend. He has that speed and technique to win this fight.

He's the worst fighter to be on a ppv main card in awhile


I dont even include cm punk. Because he was on main card because of name value.
Hunsucker has no name value

It’s Bellator Matchmaking, we get a meme finish on the card that mean nothing because it Hunsucker, but it be cool, and that all the matters

And I’m watching the card anyway because 2 of my Favourite fighter Jose Aldo and Paulo Costa is fighting, Also interested to see if Romanov is real, and the cherry on top is to see Usman vs Edwards, 

Should be a fun card( Main card). Prelims are free TV, so I’m less picky on Quallity
