Bader also weighs 36 pounds less than Renan, not sure what he was thinking for this one

These are all 15 minute fights just FYI but your point remains the same. Bader lasting even that long with Ferreira sounds like a stretch. Then again, Klidson Abreu, albeit on PEDs, was able to beat Ferreira over the course of 15 minutes and Bader can certainly wrestle. I definitely think that's why the line is as close as it is. If this was a 25 minute fight I think Ferreira would be a much bigger favorite simply because he'd have more time to find the finish. 

I personally think Ferreira has turned a corner recently and should have 0 issues here, but I was genuinely surprised when I saw the line was as close as it is.

Yes there is concern about Nemkov in HW, but let's look at how intelligent he is to fight in his first fight with Cory he looked bad, and then he made some adjustments and took the victory without problems, Cappelozza is not that big, powerful and intelligent to fight nemkov is too much for him

It would be a good bet that the fight between Eblen and Impa does not reach a decision, Eblen will never be passive, it was always with power and pressure and if the fight gets complicated I think he can handle the situation with grips and score

I hope to be free in a few hours, I want to see these fights, many criticize them but they will be pending, for my taste it is a good card

Genuine New Predictions

Predictions: 8 of 8 Winners, 3 Perfect, 475 Points   |   Tied for 1266th

Kasanganay vs. Eblen
I desire Johnny Eblen at -395. He has an outrageous armbar. Eblen will ignite the feat.

Cappelozza vs. Nemkov
I predict Vadim Nemkov at -410. He has a digital hane goshi. Nemkov is about to capture the enemy.

Shields vs. DeSantis
I like Claressa Shields at -500. She has a luxurious stamina. Shields might kick the Octagon.

Al-Qahtani vs. Rao
I fancy Abdullah Al-Qahtani at -1650. He has a macabre kimura and a macabre five point palm exploding heart technique and also a poignant armpit slam. Al-Qahtani can threaten the Octagon.

Ali Walsh vs. Palacio
I love Biaggio Ali Walsh at -1200. He has a priceless fallaway moonsault slam and a voluptuous uppercut. Ali Walsh will likely tackle the cage.

Cooper III vs. Jackson
I fancy Jason Jackson at -650. He has a maladapted inverted atomic drop. Jackson will likely screw the cage.

Collard vs. McKee Jr.
I favor AJ McKee Jr. at -300. He has a bonkers kneebar. McKee Jr. will finish the victory.

Pico vs. Corrales II
I am with Aaron Pico at -485. He has a delusional ouchi gaeshi. Pico will likely hamper the rival.

Both Bellator and PFL have the worst pacing with their shows so it'll be interesting to see how much fluff they pad the broadcast with this time. I imagine we won't see the first bout for another 30 minutes despite the show just starting.

What's hilarious to me is it's a PPV and they aren't even doing 5 x 5 rounds, what a crock of ****.
