Props I’m waiting on
Brian Moore by tko
Karl Albretksson ITD
Benson Henderson vs Peter Queally
The bet on Queally is purely because I think Henderson is shot. He hasn’t looked like the great fighter we once saw in a long time now. He just goes through the motions. Queally will be highly motivated and has the tools to give this version of Benson real problems. Benson still durable. Like him by Dec
Melvin Manhoef vs Yoel Romero
Manhoef has a ton of power, but this is Yoels fight to lose. Yoel was always a better fighter than Manhoef. Seeing that this is Manhoefs last fight I think he will be overly aggressive and Yoel will find the finish
Karl Albretksson vs Karl Moore
Moore is a decent fighter who hasn’t been very active lately. He’s been training with Johnny Walker and says he’s improved vastly between fights. He has power in his hands and is a tough dude. Albretksson is very legit. He only loses to the very best. We’ve won money on him in the past and he has a MAJOR path to victory with his wrestling here. I see him taking Moore down and getting a finish. Maybe round 2
Brett Johns vs Jordan Winski
Now let’s talk about another guy that only loses to the very best and has a clear path to victory with grappling…. Brett Johns. Love Johns in this fight. He can strike with Winski if he wants too. Johns just the better fighter here. Classic Bellator mismatch
Asael Adjoudj vs Jordan Barton
Asael has a crazy style. He’s a striker and he likes to keep his hands low. Has major power and has shown he can be a finisher. He also has a tendency to get hit and Barton hits hard as well. This style clash screams under to me. I was going to bet Barton out right because I was impressed with his performance against Clarke even in a loss, but Asael isnt that bad. Violence bet is safer
Georgi Karakhanyan vs Kane Mousah
Wasn’t going to bet this fight at all because both guys can be a bit hitable. When I was looking through the lines I saw the under on this fight at 2.5 rounds +195. That’s insane value. I really see this fight getting finished. That’s the play if you decide to bet this fight at all
Brian Moore vs Arivaldo Silva
Silva is old and not good. Brian Moore is going to knock this guy out. Again classic Bellator set up fight. Love Brian Moore ITD and really love the under for this fight as well. Lots of values in the unders I noticed
Dante Schiro vs Luca Poclit
Schiro is a peculiar fighter to me. Watching him strike I’m not overly impressed and then he will start to get going and just start landing punches in bunches. His takedown defense isn’t great, but then on the ground he causes scrambles, rolls for ankles and is a constant threat. He has excellent cardio and great top control if he can get you down. Poclit will be looking to wrestle here and he has great submissions of his own. I doubt he can submit Schiro and the longer it goes the more it favors Schiro. I like Schiro here by Dec
Darragh Kelly vs Kye Stevens
Bellator is trying to sell this fight as prospect vs prospect. Don’t get it twisted, this is a set up for Darragh. Darragh and Stevens are similar fighters, but Darragh is better everywhere. Only thing that scares me is he is still green and can get a bit wild. Still think he rolls here and gets a finish
