Combining the best of MMA and Kickboxing for an old school super show. The card is stocked with potential wars and one sided beatings alike. Cards like this can be intimidating if you don’t know what to look for. That’s where we step in.
The Diamond in the Rough: Justin Lawrence vs Isao Kobayashi
Leading off the show, on multiple websites depending on your location, former UFC vet Justin Lawrence fights Japanese veteran Isao Kobayashi. Despite being the curtain jerker, these two have everything needed to steal the show. These two should cancel one another out in terms of wrestling and clinch game. When that happens, you are looking at a stand up war. This may not be getting a lot of attention but with 36 fights between the two, this is he surprise fight you will be reading about Saturday morning if you don’t make sure to watch it live.
The Career Changer: Matt Mitrione vs Carl Seumanutafa
Regardless of what happens in this fight someone’s career is going change drastically. With an impressive win Matt Mitrione is going to receive a massive push. At 37 years old, now is the time for the former NFL player. On the other side you have a man in Carl Seumanutafa who is looking to make a name for himself. After derailing the hype train of prospect Javy Ayala last January, Seumanutafa is looking to show he is the real deal. Expect fireworks and expect them early in this Heavyweight battle for a future.
The Rematch for Title Recognition: Michael Chandler vs Patricky Freire
With Will Brooks packing his bags and taking of for the UFC, the Bellator Lightweight title is wide open. Both men would like nothing more than to have that opportunity to fight for the vacated title. This rematch is going to be something special. Chandler and Patricky are both Bellator staples who are known for being tough as nails. On any other night this is a highly anticipated main event. Instead, we are going to see blood, sweat, tears, and an extreme amount of heart a little earlier. If there was one fight not to miss. This is it.
The Question Mark: Rampage Jackson vs Satoshi Ishii
Rampage Jackson is on a 4 fight win streak, but after a legal battle the sidelined him for over a year, does anyone have any idea what to expect? Ishii is a former gold medalist who has lost 3 of his last 5, all by TKO/KO, poses many threats to Rampage. The biggest being tossing him to the ground and keeping him there. This is another roll of the dice by Bellator. This could very easily be a 5 round snoozer or a 1st round flash KO. Either way, this PRIDE esq. main event is must watch.
Bellator MMA is continuing to be exactly what the MMA world needs right now. Something different. Some people are confused by match making, while others are enthralled. Either way, the atmosphere is sure to be something special tonight in St. Louis. If Bellator is better than the UFC at anything, it’s keeping a secret. If the fights aren’t enough, be sure to tune in to see what tricks Bellator has up its sleeve.

Most of the hype around Friday night’s Bellator 157 event centers around Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt Mitrione.
The two are in separate bouts, as Jackson headlines in his return to Bellator against Satoshi Ishii, while Mitrione makes his promotional debut against Carl Seumanutafa on Spike TV.
But the best fight on paper for the night is the co-main event.
Former Bellator champion Michael Chandler will try to wear the belt once more when he meets Patricky “Pitbull” Freire. The two have long been set to square off, but the fight took on more significance when the promotion released Will Brooks and put the belt up for grabs.
Chandler, a 30-year-old native of Missouri, has won two straight since a three-fight losing skid to Brooks (twice) and Eddie Alvarez. He has looked as his old self in demolishing David Rickels and Derek Campos.
Before his split decision defeat to Alvarez in 2013, Chandler (14-3) had won his first 12 pro bouts. That included wins over Alvarez, Rick Hawn and even Freire via decision five years ago.
A former University of Missouri wrestling standout, Chandler has scored 12 career finishes – six via knockout and six by submission.
Freire, the same age as Chandler, is on a two-fight win streak that includes a decision over Kevin Souza in April and a knockout of Ryan Couture to start the year. Overall, the Brazilian is 5-2 in his last seven, losing only via decision to Derek Anderson and Marcin Held.
This, though, marks his first five-round title fight, as he
twice reached the tournament finals in Bellator before falling.
Ten of his career wins have been knockouts, with one submission also to his credit.
Rampage and Mitrione will garner the headlines, but if you want to see a pure MMA fight between two of the top lightweights in the world, do not miss the co-main event.
