Zane Simon, Victor Rodriguez, & Eddie Mercado return to break down this week’s Bellator card in Temecula, CA. With picks and odds for the main card.

The UFC may be off this week, but Bellator still has a card to put on. It’s just too bad it’s so… miss-able. The main event is a decently interesting flyweight title fight between champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane and challenger Alejandra Lara, but the rest of the main card is really hard to care about. Most of the interest is for the early prelims, which feature college wrestling standouts Ed Ruth, Joey Davis, and Tyrell Fortune.
