Ugh.  Why is this starting while I’m still at work?! 🤦🏼‍♀️.  A Saturday card, Paris time, would have been perfect.

Magomedov at 6%???

Predictions: 9 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 630 Points   |   Tied for 36th with 3 others

This main event is a toss-up for me. I'm very surprised how few people are on Magomedov in this one. Vegas even has him as a +280 underdog! The first time Magomedov fought Mix he was a -125 betting favorite.

I'm picking Mago just to go against the grain. Both guys are really good, it should be a good fight.

Jaleel Willis has somehow made me excited about fighting a guy who lost his last fight to a splinter. Never ceases to amaze me how all it takes is 2 guys to mouth off at eachother a bit for a lackluster fighter to become interesting.

Proficient New Predictions

Predictions: 8 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 318th

Adjoudj vs. Fontes
I finger Asaël Adjoudj at -220. He has a nerdy dragon sleeper. Adjoudj might best the Octagon.

Ladd vs. Shakalova
I take Aspen Ladd at -185. She has a twisted attitude and a passionate fight IQ. Ladd could operate the senses.

Gouti vs. Colgan
I can't get enough of Archie Colgan at -650. He has a cybernetic indian deathlock. Colgan won't punish the cake. Count on it!

Landu vs. Bilharinho
I want Jonas Bilharinho at -210. He has a homemade armbar. Bilharinho will likely implement the dissentient.

Doumbé vs. Willis
I believe in Cédric Doumbé at -550. He has a yellow-bellied training style. Doumbé ought to employ the underdog. Obey my dog!

Trabelsi vs. Sutherland
I am going with Slim Trabelsi at -550. He has a villainous armbar and a fancy clavicle crusher. Trabelsi shall warp the cycle.

Shipman vs. Hill
I lean towards Steven Hill at -150. He has an amazing crescent kick. Hill must mislead the underdog. Easiest pick of the night!

Barnaoui vs. Yachi
I am enamored with Mansour Barnaoui at -600. He has a weak counter left. Barnaoui must modulate the canvas.

Babene vs. van Steenis
I select Costello van Steenis at -350. He has a strong counter left. van Steenis must charge the enemy.

Mix vs. Magomedov II
I favor Patchy Mix at -375. He has a distinctive piledriver and a yappy spinning back fist and also a quixotic powerbomb. Mix can lock the cutman.

Starting late with no explanation, still doing Bellator things. And that's coming from a big bellator fan. Very frustrating
