It seems like it’s been awhile, but Bellator finally returns Friday with its 123rd card. Live from Connecticut, the bout features a title fight and numerous stars of the company.
Pat Curran and Patricio Freire headline the card with Curran’s 145-pound belt on the line. It is a rematch from nearly two years ago, when Curran edged Freire by decision.
This card will be going up directly against UFC Fight Night 50, which could affect the ratings. However, given the title fight, it could attract some UFC fans away from the Fox Sports 1 card.
With that, let’s take a look at the four-fight main card, preview the bouts and make some predictions for the night.
