Golm vs. James
Although it’s not a main event-worthy match, still it will be nice to see who out of these two underrated heavyweights will get the win. Maybe they will surprise us with their performance this time. James' last win was quite good so this time I’m rooting for him.

Fraud or not Brennan is still free money in this next matchup. Josh San Diego can't stuff a TD.

I think we can all agree the biggest fraud from Bellator was Patrick Downey.

Golm vs. James
Marcelo Golm, TKO, R3
Fun fight. Doesn't Bellator have 5 round main events now?

Salter vs. Jeffery
Aaron Jeffery, DEC
Jeffery is solid! I really like Salter, but he's getting older and his gas tank is fading a bit.

Willis vs. Khabilov
Jaleel Willis, DEC
Willis had a great performance against a wrestler last time out, which is weird after getting immediately subbed twice in a row. But Khabilov is coming up a weight class and I'm going with the momentum.

Cauley vs. Trainer
Sullivan Cauley, DEC
Cauley is an exciting prospect. Luke has good moments too, but I don't think he's on the same level yet.

Colgan vs. Montalvo
Archie Colgan, SUB, R2
I like the matchup, but I hate to see either guy lose. Montalvo is a fun striker but tdd is a mystery.

Hamel vs. Browne
Nick Browne, DEC
Great fight. Bellator lightweight division is full of sneaky good guys now.

Gracie vs. Pacheco
Khonry Gracie, DEC
Gracie doesn't seem like a fighter, I hate to say. Maybe his mindset will change.

Gibson Jr. vs. Tokov
Lance Gibson Jr., DEC
Could spell an upset, this is a jump in competition for sure.

Davis vs. Creighton
Joey Davis, DEC
Davis is great, but had a long layoff and Creighton doesn't look like a pushover. Another live dog!

Piccolotti vs. Nallo
Mandel Nallo, TKO, R2
Nallo is really fun, I hope he can break through into the rankings. But Adam is tough especially on the ground.

Golm fought better competition

Salter vs. Jeffery

Jeffery should be in the ufc

Willis vs. Khabilov
Jaleel Willis, SUB, R3
Khabilov hasnt fought in more than 3 years

Gracie vs. Pacheco
David Pacheco, TKO, R1
Khonry is terrible and hasnt fought in 2 years

Sorenson vs. Collins
Pam Sorenson, DEC
Much more experience

Edwards vs. Cleveland
Christian Edwards, TKO, R1
Easy

Luke Trainer is not winning that fight.  He is a guy you cannot trust after the Simon Biyong showing.  Yeesh.

I wish Bellator odds didn't take so long to come out, but on the bright side this and the PFL card should be a good enough amount of MMA to keep us full while the UFC takes a break next week

What do you think about the Khabilov fight? Will he run through the other guy? I don't know the opponent.

@nekro yeah he should win. Willis is okay but always gets matched against guys he’s worse than. Lhabilov is super boring but he’s effective with his wrestling. Just grind people out. Not sure how he’s gonna look with 4 years away

Depending on the odds, Willis is live if he's around +200 Wouuf
