Zane Simon, Eddie Mercado, and Victor Rodriguez return to breakdown this week’s Bellator event in Uncasville, CT. With picks and odds for the main card fights.
This week’s Bellator event has a lot more notoriety and interest to it than the promotion’s first return to activity following a several months long hiatus due to the COVID pandemic. Former UFC champion Benson Henderson rematches former Bellator champ Michael Chandler in the main event. Former UFC heavyweights Matt Mitrione and Tim Johnson square off in the co-main. And all-action striking talents Curtis Millender and Sabah Homasi kick off the televised card.
The prelims feature notable Bellator prospects Adam Borics, AJ Agazarm, and Valerie Loureda. Should be a decent night of fights from top to bottom.
