Being a Dad is tough.

I'm glad Yan gets his first title defense as the "main" main event now.... though he could very well lose it.

Can't wait for that match.

We got fights !

[Hugo de Naranja]

Not a very exciting R1 here in this first fight.

Tiny parlay:
Lowry+165/Levy-135/The Iron Pol-120

[Hugo de Naranja]

Nice finish for Pinheiro. Likely contract there.

[pavyracer]

Do underdogs ever win in these Tuesday fights?

[Hugo de Naranja]

Don't blow your damn nose Lowry

[Hugo de Naranja]

Do underdogs ever win in these Tuesday fights?

Sometimes but not a whole lot recently.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Nice performance from Motta. I think he earns a contract despite no finish.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Levy! Solid prospect.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Finish the night with a very small +0.33u profit. Hit on Levy. Missed with small dog shots on Lowry and Frausto.

[pavyracer]

Thanks for the picks Hugo. I bet on Levy based on your pick.

Ksiazkiewicz is being hit like crazy the last couple hours. Not sure what to make of this.

Sweet glad to hear it.

Nothing on the main event for me. Rooting for Ksiazkiewicz since I have Polish heritage.

Same here, buddy!

[Hugo de Naranja]

Back and forth fight early in this featured bout.

[Hugo de Naranja]

I'm predicting contracts for Pinheiro, Motta, and Levy. Think we see another DWCS opportunity for Sabatello and Sousa.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Multi-Event Parlay:
Soldic/Blaydes (-132) 0.65u to win 0.5u

Roberto Soldic in KSW is someone to watch. Future UFC fighter.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Anders vs. Arroyo off apparently. Anders hospitalized. Liked my Arroyo (+140) ugh.

[Hugo de Naranja]

Soldic won and looked great.

Oh! So this is where the cool guys go on Tuesday nights and for Bellator?! Good to know, good to know.

Hey how about the ABSOLUTE CAN the Coker&Bellator boys put in with Keri "Ann-Taylor" Melendez huh? What a joke, worst striking I have seen in pro-mma I'd have to say. Being that Keri almost got submitted one of the last times she fought and got exposed on the ground (I was there live, she barely survived getting finished in that fight) they really arnt taking any big chances of her losing on their promotional run, JUICE they are putting into her .. I think they are grooming her for a Bellator title. She has amazing striking but her ground game is a huge weakness. If the sandbagged her like they did others at the gym, she would still be a white belt, but she is Gilberts wife after all.

Fair points. That said, it's pretty damn hard to win a Bellator title with such limited skills on the ground. Eventually, you have to beat some high level fighters and a ground game is necessary to accomplish that.

I read there's some big favorite who's also much much lighter than the opponent. That should be fun to watch.

[PaperTrail07]

In terms of weigh-ins, the most interesting matchup takes place at heavyweight, where Diaz brothers protege Nick Maximov (5-0), who normally competes at light heavyweight, moves up a division to take on Mexico’s Oscar Cota (11-2). The two fighters weighed in on opposite ends of the heavyweight division, with Maximov at 209 pounds and Cota at 263.5, resulting in a rarely seen 54.5 pound weight difference between the two competitors.
