Eblen vs. Edwards
Johnny Eblen, DEC
Fabian is better than I thought, but Eblen is so good. I think this is dominant if Eblen mixes in his wrestling consistently, but Edwards is defensively sound even on the ground so maybe a desicion.

Pico vs. Carvalho
Aaron Pico, SUB, R3
Pedro looks great against lesser fighters, but gets outclassed by the upper crust so far. I think that happens again here.

Burnell vs. Weichel
Mads Burnell, DEC
Tough one. Burnell got a little too much hype in Bellator in my opinion, but he's skilled and tough. Weichel still has game and had a really underrated career. But if Mads is smart and wrestles a little I think he can take this.

Kavanagh vs. Collins
Sara Collins, SUB, R2
We'll see if Collins can survive the power early, if she does she seems very skilled on the ground. This is a decent step up but she looked great against Pam Sorenson.

Chokheli vs. Homasi
Levan Chokheli, SUB, R3
This fight has banger written all over it. I enjoy watching both guys, Levan has been a nice surprise and Sabah is an underrated savage who lets it all hang out. I think Chokheli can outlast Sabah and is more defensively solid.

Moore vs. Rodrigues
Otto Rodrigues, DEC
I like Moore a lot but he makes his fights way too close lately, and Otto seems pretty good. Hopefully Moore comes out strong and makes an improvement.

Solli vs. Debienne
Romain Debienne, TKO, R3
It's not their fault but I root against guys who are coming off robbery wins. And Debienne was fun last time out against another tall guy.

Ward vs. Babene
Gregory Babene, SUB, R2
Ward is tough but his fights are starting to get boring, Babene is a finisher so hopefully he can pull this off against the vet.

Po**** vs. Faraldo
Roman Faraldo, TKO, R2
Total grappler vs striker match by appearances, I'm not confident so I may change this pick.

Gallon vs. Korkmaz
Davy Gallon, DEC
Gallon is fun, I don't know his opponent but I'd like him to get back to winning ways.

Eblen vs. Edwards
Fabian Edwards, DEC
i just have a funny feeling, but yeah Eblen is superior in everyway. but i had a funny feeling about Leon, Dricus, Strickland and Grasso. but yeah if your smart pick Eblen.

Pico vs. Carvalho
Aaron Pico, TKO, R3
Carvalho isnt atrocious but just makes everything too close. Pico should take this but i can imagine Carvalho being decent enough to take this is a decision or late rounds.

Burnell vs. Weichel
Mads Burnell, DEC
I just cant rate Weichel and Mads is pretty decent.

Kavanagh vs. Collins
Sara Collins, SUB, R2
Sinead is past her prime and Irish MMA sucks. Plus when you are up against a very promising prospect..... oh wait she is 33. oh god WMMA with Irish MMA flip a coin and hope for the best.

Moore vs. Rodrigues
Otto Rodrigues, SUB, R3
IRISH MMA vs good opponent

Trainer vs. Urbonavicius
Luke Trainer, TKO, R2
Trainer is cool but unproven. Urbon is great and been floating around for years. But i just feel this is either gonna be a fraud check on Luke or the passing of the torch

Ewen vs. Gugnon
Mark Ewen, SUB, R1
Honestly Ewen should run through him. Finally Scotland has a good prospect

Mokhonoana vs. O'Connor
Josh O'Connor, DEC
two prospects that seem decent, but not really beat anyone decent. winner here needs to take a step up.

Queally vs. Miceli
Peter Queally, TKO, R1
chin or be chinned

Instead of Pico vs Carvalho, should've gotten the rematch with Pico vs Kennedy.

I wanna see that fight so bad now but I guess give Pico another easy KO for his record and more time to build confidence in his shoulder.

Penco vs. Stiller
Mackenzie Stiller, SUB, R2
What in the Bellator hell is going on with the matchmaking, 11 pro fights to 1. Stiller must be one hell of a prospect and Penco might be in trouble is it hits the ground

Stiller is Judo Black Belt, BJJ Purple Belt and also was a High School state champion in wrestling.

Tried to tell everybody last fight against Maria Henderson she was going to pull the upset.
