Would have been better if they match up mo vs butler a former boxer but sparks is ok

Ricardo Tirloni (16-4) vs. Tiger Sarnavskiy (24-1)

I agree a good card!

Rooting for tiger and brooks

Mo vs sparks wll not last more than 2 minutes

Fadior vs spang good matchmaking

Excellent card. I think Brooks will avenge his loss and stop Saad. Tiger is going to maul Tirloni, and Mighty Mo is going to spark Ron Sparks.

I thought Fadiora was with WSOF. Good signing for Bellator though. This card is stacked.

It's also nice to see Dwarf Nog back in action as well. He will give Baca problems.

make your picks

Seriously great card but I'm so fucking serious why doesn't spike air a prelims/hype up show like ufc does?

Bellators Prelims are always great and it would build names for under carders and actually guys fight harder if they know it's going to be seen nation and worldwide.

Tiger looked amazing tonight. Smashed Tirloni with a spinning back fist just moments in. Then worked some gnp and got a submission win from his back. Great performance.

Main event was pretty weak. It was just your typical unified rules takedown victory. But Awad needs to work on his takedown defense to avoid that. His cardio looked poor too. Congrats to Will on avenging his defeat, but it wasn't impressive.

From the moment I saw ill will at DREAM 18 I knew he would be something special was not the best performance but avenging the loss was good.
