Bellator’s 2011 Summer Series comes to an end with an intriguing card that features Bellator Heavyweight Champion Cole Konrad and a featherweight tournament final between Pat Curran and Marlon Sandro.
Curran and Sandro each won two fights to get to this point in the tournament. The winner of the tournament final will earn a featherweight title shot against Bellator Featherweight Champion Joe Warren.
Also, UFC veteran Paul Buentello will challenge Cole Konrad in a non-title match-up. While Konrad is a massive favorite heading into the fight, Buentello could provide the toughest test the champion has had in his young career.
Additionally, Bellator 48’s main card will showcase a fight between former UFC competitors Ricco Rodriguez and Seth Petruzelli. Rodriguez, a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, is riding a 12-fight winning streak heading into this event.
Let’s take a look at some predictions for each of the main card bouts.
