Full fight card

Pacheco replaces filkins, who is injured

Real good card.  Will be great seeing Kongo make his Bellator debut.

Dude Spartan vs Johnson is going to be excellent and Kongo vs godbeer is excellent as well.

Mikkel parlo is fun to watch and honestly glad filkins is injured I hate his sloppy style and nipple pinching.

IMO this has the potential to be the best card of the season!

Prelims are nice, santos and page in action and 3 very competitive fights in travers, poppies and the richey/cash fight

War Parlo!

Kongo main eventing is weak though.

War Morcego!

PS- Kongo via roundhouse to the jewels

I wish my name was Godbeer.

Lol! Holy shit

Can Godbeer throw a punch? If so, he will win.

Lol!

Make your picks guys

Would like to see Kongo vs lavar next! But queiroz and godbeer could squash those plans

I´m a sucker for the big guys so this will be great. Hoping to see Kongo go down.

Kongo is going to murder godbeer.

Kongo has been kod by much better strikers godbeer is not.

Kongo has a much underrated ground game in ufc I'm sure he stood more to be exciting LOL in bellator look for the takedown and gnp.if not sprawl and maul.

My boy Johnson got his hands full wit Spartan but I still see lavat putting him to sleep.

Lavar is pretty good especially considering getting shot. He finished Pat Barry in one round but Barry is still in the UFC, that´s just silly.

Yeah took a blast to the stomach like a g MADERA CA!

his dirty boxing is deadly and has boulders in his hands good chin too.

(11-6)   vs.   (14-3)

Going with Kongo in this one.

Just autotuned bellator and saw an obvious error it says

Kongo vs lavar Johnson must be error I already checked my goto sites no news of lineup change.

Holy fuck! There goes santos! Wow

I missed Prelims were they epic...

Hope main card is good
