Lascivious New Predictions

Predictions: 5 of 9 Winners, 2 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 967th

Moldavsky vs. Mowry
I go with Valentin Moldavsky at -200. He has a delusional Samoan driver. Moldavsky shall land the adversary.

Bennett vs. Kish II
I can't get enough of DeAnna Bennett at -230. She has a sophisticated check hook. Bennett is gonna assault the senses.

Vanderford vs. Jeffery
I trust Austin Vanderford at -190. He has an original head coach. Vanderford can captivate the counteragent.

Hill vs. Breno
I am loyal to Josh Hill at -170. He has a final scissors sweep. Hill ought to sabotage the dark horse.

Cauley vs. Jeffries
I am all over Sullivan Cauley at -900. He has a reliable lapel choke. Cauley will likely grapple the cake.

Sowma vs. Saricam
I am taking Gokhan Saricam at -180. He has a scintillating tsuri-dashi. Saricam might scramble the dark horse.

Schoenfelder vs. Currier
I select Bailey Schoenfelder at -1200. He has a noble approach. Schoenfelder isn't about to terminate the masterpiece.

McKee vs. Ortega
I am with Mitchell McKee at -650. He has a passionate attitude and a qualified scissors sweep and also a sincere crucifix. McKee should leverage the production. For sure!

Gracie vs. Yamauchi
I desire Neiman Gracie at -190. He has a wretched overhead chop. Gracie isn't about to victimize the adversary.

What does everyone think about the main event going the distance?

I don't think either are KOing anyone and surely they are not going to sub each other.

Bellator Prelim Blood Sacrifice!!!!

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 735th


Think we're getting a lot of beatings on the prelims!!! 

Main card actually has some close 50/50 match ups that I wasn't sure about. Whatever happens hopefully this a better card, the last few haven't been great

@Ayylmaonnaise

Predictions: 6 of 9 Winners, 1 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 925th

Thats what I thought, and the over 4.5 is plus money. 

I rarely make single bets and usually only do parlays, but I put some money on the over 4.5 (if Gracie wins I feel it will be a decision) and also made a bet on a double chance Yamaguchi by KO or Decision.

I would be really suprised if either of them gets a submission. And neither has very good takedowns either. Could even be a 5 round kickboxing match lol

This whole weekend is going to be a crazy crazy set of fights.

Only problem is we have to sit through John McCarthy for the first event. Testing my patience.
