Yeah Ray Borg did missed weight, not only that he also showed "unprofessional behavior" entire fight week, in turn Bellator decided to cut him smh, not only that but also he's management team "Dominance MMA" also cut ties with him, he mustve been really unbearable this week for them to cut him lol

I see that now, wow that's insane! Scott Coker almost seemed angry in an interview so you know something messed up happened haha.

And I'm surprised they cut Diggs, he's not bad and has fought at lightweight before. Kinda like that there is less and less tolerance for missing weight though.

Most likely to get a big upset here is Charlie Leary, he absolutely got robbed against Soren Bak in his last fight and looked better than his record shows.

I have watched that Søren Bak fight over and over and over.  My buddy and I both... We see it the same. 29-28 for Leary.  And honestly, that doesn't tell the tale.  How a judge had that 30-27 for Bak still blows my mind.  It is on par with Chito winning on a card against Sandhagen.

The only way that Bak won that fight in Paris is if striking and damage don't count.  If that doesn't matter than Bak won.  Lol.

Some very nice values on James Gonzalez. I took him to win against Cody last time,where he was a 4% pick lol
The value that James is on against Pico is disrespectful. I don't think Pico wins by KO here,but Dec can really belong to anyone. Gonzalez by Dec (+850) or simply Gonzalez ML (+480). I'd sprinkle some on any of those.

That Leary vs Bak fight was the worst robbery I've ever seen, and I almost never use the R word. And the broadcast team didn't even acknowledge it.

Pico can knockout Gonzalez, why not? Pico has a chance to drop  anyone in Bellator
His boxing and his punching power are very good.

Xerophthalmic New Predictions

Predictions: 7 of 10 Winners, 6 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 165th

Kamaka III vs. Edwards
I can't get enough of Kai Kamaka III at -195. He has an excellent facebuster. Kamaka III might goad the natural order. Cavalo dado não se olha os dentes!

Stots vs. Mix
I choose Raufeon Stots at -140. He has a trendy randleplex. Stots isn't about to quench the previous pitfalls.

Franklin vs. Aras
I am going with Davion Franklin at -450. He has a brash double leg flapjack and a strong touch of death. Franklin will climb the corner man.

King vs. Cruz
I am taking Aalon Cruz at -135. He has a gifted gas tank. Cruz isn't about to fuel the unthinkable. Hammertime!

Inaba vs. Arteaga
I have got Sumiko Inaba at -190. She has a casual hiza guruma. Inaba might wobble the crowd noise.

Shurkevich vs. Kikuiri
I embrace Alexey Shurkevich at -230. He has a laudable kouchi gari. Shurkevich might leverage the cage.

Joanne vs. Ellen
I am sniffing Ilara Joanne at -195. She has a ultimate chin. Joanne could avoid the underdog.

Medeiros vs. Leary
I embrace Yancy Medeiros at -400. He has a formal hammerlock. Medeiros is gonna overpower the counteragent.

Pico vs. Gonzalez
I desire Aaron Pico at -750. He has a maniacal omoplata. Pico can escape the foe.

Burnell vs. Gonzales
I love Mads Burnell at -140. He has a cryptic clavicle crusher. Burnell could clinch the ring announcer. Fix und fertig!
