Personally I'd rule it 29-28 Mikhailov (might be a bit biased cause of the pick), but I feel like they're gonna give Caldwell the first 2 cause he got the takedowns

Why do bellator fights always look like neither fighter wants to exert any type of energy

I think Caldwell got it, Nikita didn't do enough damage to overcome the control and position deficit

Damage wise it should be Mikhailov 29-28, but Caldwell won to anyone who don't know the rules which judges don't most of the time. So this will probably be 29-28 Caldwell, he atleast he had a sub attempt in r2 so I guess they can justify a Caldwell W with that

The most exciting thing Caldwell has ever done is backflip onto the cameraman and get sued

Because all the good fighters are in the UFC, bellator fighters are B tier. Every fight of this Organization is massive snoozefest.
