Willis/Khabilov

Four years away, spends his days dealing with politics. Trains after at night. Not sure how motivated he is to win or if he's just doing it for the money. Willis isn’t a grappler but was 12/12 defending takedowns v Crutchmer. I like Willis here (as long as he can defend TDs) and the Over.

Golm vs. James
Daniel James, TKO, R1
James is huge and has crazy power. I think Golm will get overwhelmed

Willis vs. Khabilov
Rustam Khabilov, DEC
Willis as the favorite is interesting

Field vs. Cummins
Ashley Cummins, DEC
Field isn't very good but I will be hoping she wins

Meredith vs. Carrillo
Bryce Meredith, TKO, R2
Meredith has great potential, this is a case where building him up makes sense

Is the main event actually 3 rounds? Bellator said they were switching to 5 rounds.

Willis vs Khabilov is tough, even putting aside the weight class change and layoff for Rustam. Willis got subbed fast on the ground twice in a row, then defended takedowns flawlessly against a good wrestler in Crutchmer. Not sure where these guys stand tbh.

Meredith

Predictions: 2 of 4 Winners, 2 Perfect, 200 Points   |   Tied for 1050th

Across the majority of sportsbooks the steep line on Meredith as become a lot more shallow, it's a collectively massive swing. 
Is there insider info of an injury or something? Now I'm concerned

Debating changing my picks to Daniel James and Salter. 
James is a bad man, beware an American that wins in ACA.

How did Khabilov withdraw? He just did the presser yesterday and said he was all good. That's a bummer, it was an interesting fight.

According to Rustam, a very sad reason, I found out what was the matter. He was not approved for a work permit in the United States
It's 100% accurate

He made weight and was ready to fight, the reason is in the documents. Whether this will be solved is unknown to him and some guys from his entourage there is one reason, I will not voice it, but for the same reason Frodo Khasbulaev could no longer fight in America

Meredith vs. Carrillo
Bryce Meredith, SUB, R2
Meredith has the potential to be Bellator's new Logan Storley, but needs a lot of work on striking.
