Bellator Featherweight Championship: Pat Curran (c) (20-5) vs. Patricio Freire (21-2)
Luke Irwin: These two are so evenly matched that neither one will finish the other, but it will still be a hell of a fight, but both guys are too tough to go down for good, and I see a repeat of the first fight. Curran via SD.
Nolan Howell: While Freire has the power edge, Curran’s MMA boxing is something to behold and I think it gets the job done here once again. Pat Curran by unanimous decision.
Earl Montclair: I’ll go with the underdog here in what should be a close, fantastic fight. Patricio Friere, Split Decision.
Heavyweight Bout: Cheick Kongo (21-9-2) vs. Lavar Johnson (18-9)
Luke Irwin: This could very well end up as the worst fight in MMA history. Good god. Kongo via UD.
Nolan Howell: Kongo is going to want to grab a hold of those shorts and get this to the ground as soon as possible. Still, I can’t pick against a guy who decided his best submission defense against Brendan Schaub was to punch hard as hell and nearly hurt Schaub. Lavar Johnson by first-round TKO.
Earl Montclair: Dear lord, let this end quickly. Lavar Johnson, Death, Round 1.
Light Heavyweight Bout: Dustin Jacoby (10-3) vs. Muhammed Lawal (12-4)
Luke Irwin: Dangerous fight for Mo, as Jacoby is now a legit Glory fighter and Mo doesn’t enjoy getting hit in the face. But I think Jacoby’s time in the ring has only weakened his training against wrestlers, and I think Mo can grind him down. Lawal via UD.
Nolan Howell: Praying that “Money” Moweather shows up against the kickboxer. Dustin Jacoby by second-round TKO.
Earl Montclair: Fuck Muhammed Lawal. Dustin Jacoby, Unanimous Decision.
Heavyweight Bout: Bobby Lashley (10-2) vs. Josh Burns (8-7)
Luke Irwin: Burns is a game fighter, but he doesn’t have the horses here. Lashley via UD.
Nolan Howell: Showcase fight. Bobby Lashley by unanimous decision.
Earl Montclair: I don’t know who this Burns is or what he does but I do know that Bobby Lashley losing MMA fights is eternally humorous to me. Josh Burns. TKO, Round 3.
