Zane Simon, Eddie Mercado, & Victor Rodriguez return to breakdown this week’s Bellator card in Tel Aviv, Israel. With picks and odds for the main card.
Bellator is back this week with an interesting card planned for Tel Aviv, Isreal. Patricio Pitbull defends his featherweight title against Emmanuel Sanchez in the main event, while Phil Davis takes on top prospect Vadim Nemkov, and Cindy Dandois & Kirill Sidelnikov get what should be showcase fights. Oh, and there’s a rematch between Ryan Couture and Haim Gozali in the co-main event for no discernible competitive reason. Honestly, it’s a pretty alright lineup for Bellator’s overseas events.
