Bellator 154: Davis v. King Mo Predictions



Bellator returns to San Jose to put on another tent pole event; this time headlined by what is essentially a number 1 contender's bout between Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal and Phil "Mr. Wonderful" Davis. The card as suffered some setbacks, but still brings some exciting matchups between Saad Awad and Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos. Check out our predictions below

King Mo showing his roots
Phil Davis v. King Mo

Phil Davis and King Mo were originally supposed to meet in the finals of the one night light heavyweight tournament held at Bellator's first Dynamite event last September, but Mo tore rib cartilage in his semifinal bout. While King Mo was dealing with the injury, Phil Davis was running through the tourney like damn buzzsaw. Phil Davis smoked Manny Newton via submission, who blamed the loss on having sex 4 hours before the event (congrats on the sex Manny) before scoring a quick KO in the main event over UFC castoff Francis Carmont (Frankie Cars if you listen to the CoMain Event Podcast). Despite the odds being against him, I think King Mo manages to avoid Mr. Wonderful's takedowns and control the striking. It'll probably to the distance though.King Mo by decision

Picking Davis: Kid P
Picking Mo: Dr. Law,

UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Arlovski Picks and Predictions



Home to many of the best kick boxers in the world, the UFC is finally making its way to Rotterdam, Netherlands. With a card filled with some of Europe's best heavy hitters, it's not hard to imagine we'll be seeing a number of finishes through out the event. Highlighting the card is a showdown between two excellent strikers when former K-1 Grand Prix champion Alistair Overeem takes on former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski. If one heavyweight fight wasn't enough we'll also see Stefan Struve take on Antonio Silva in what should be close match up.

UFC 197: Jones v. Saint Preux Picks and Predictions



Let April 23rd be known as the return. Jon Jones, the last vestige of pure greatness in the MMA landscape, returns from his indefinite suspension due to his well documented legal and criminal battles. Think about it. In the time Jones was away, the sport saw Conor choked out by Nate, Aldo flatlined by Conor, Ronda head-kicked into oblivion by Holms, who herself would go out to Miesha's choke. Anderson's tumble would continue against Bisping, and even the spider killer himself, Chris Weidman would drop his belt to Luke Rockhold. With the exception of the other champion in the co-main event slot, Mighty Mouse, our picture of the invincibles in the UFC have dropped like flies.  With all due respect to one Mr. OSP, the world awaits what Jon Jones brings to the table in his return.
