Machida wins a decision. I like seeing Machida back in form. Carvalho is a tough test.

I am surprised at the split decision but good Machida won it.

I got MacFarlane in the next fight.

I'm not sure Gegard will fight Machida without additional drug testing.

[MacGowan]

Ilima, in style.

Carvalho and strong fighter.

Holy **** did not expect Pico to get caught like that. Pico had hurt him earlier with a uppercut. Corrales landed the most vicious clinch hook after that.

I want Fedor to win. Fedor hasn't snatched a legit submission in over 10 years tho and his chin seems to be deteriorated. He still has power and speed it seems, dropped everyone in his Bellator fights. His sub game is arguably still his best asset, but Fedor has been depending on his striking for a long time now. I think that him catching Bader is his best bet.

Bader is the safe pick tho, his wrestleboxing should be imposing. I did not expect him to KO King Mo, let alone in less than 20secs- that shows his progress as a striker. Bader does seem to have a vulnerable chin tho, that seems to be his weakness.

I like Pico alot but they need to chill with that "Lebron James of MMA" ****. His career so far shows why the best approach is to spend a year or 2 in the truw minor leagues before fighting in one of the top orgs.

Pico could utilize his Olympic level wrestling base more. He seems to have a vulnerable chin. But tbf, Corrales landed a clean hook I don't know if that tells more about Pico's chin or Corrales' power.

Yh doesn't matter if your the better striker man. You gotta respect everyone with 4oz gloves. His chin is good he just got caught with a bomb. Got sucked into a brawl and got slept. He's only 22. He'll learn this. I still think he'll be champ one day. Can't wait for this Fedor fight now. I say it doesn't go past the 2nd.
