great to see lc davis back, also im picking ryan couture, liam, and newton (still makes no sense why beltran is fighting for a title)

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Liam is one of the few fighters that I'm genuinely interested in. Seems like a nice guy, but an absolute killer in that cage.

Newton's easy money.

 

[Slongkong]

Not too excited about any of the fights here. Pretty Lack luster card. Shamir vs Reiter is a MUST watch. And hoping liam brings the violence against the cocky and delusional anundson. Cortez could end up being something down the road. it's a solid hw fight. The rest are worth a watch I guess. But yeah can't really get excited for this card.

Newton's easy money.

you should check out his episode of 5 rounds. Its really good

[jamesgalb]

I am looking forward to Newton getting an easy showcase win. Tough decision wins over the difficult King Mo and Vegh really didnt help his appeal.

 

[Heat Vision]

Wouldn't shock me if McGeary gets the next shot

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

Would be hilarious to see Beltran win the strap.

 

[Go Go Plata]

Wouldn't shock me if McGeary gets the next shot

Well it shouldn't be a huge surprise because he's in a title eliminator/tourney final

 

[Erwin]

Are all those undefeated guys any good?

 

[VIP1349]

One of their weaker shows no doubt but Beltran can be fun to watch at times and ideally we will have a Newton win and hopefully impressively while Liam wins as well.

I should be watching.

Phelia vs. Ramirez looks like a size mismatch.

 

[Slongkong]

Somebody tell Kelly Anundson that Liam will be at a local bar after the fights. Since he's so keen on attacking fighters after their fight is clearly over.

 

[beefcake180]

Wonder how many and which of those prelims we'll get this week.

 

[Mikedh]

Tony Hervey is better than his record says. Feel like I always see the guy on cards over the years. Probably has a good manager too.

 

[Bigj383]

Tony Hervey is better than his record says. Feel like I always see the guy on cards over the years. Probably has a good manager too.

I would hope so his record is aweful. He's 1-5 in his last 6 and 17-18 overall.

[DetroitSniper]

Good luck to Mike Hernandez.

Michigan MMA!

He'll be making his Bellator debut.

Kid has some heavy, heavy hands.
