I might be in the minority here, but I actually like the main event. I wanna see Wilcox's raw power and wrestling take on Straus' sick athleticism. I really really wanna see Pit bull vs. Straus. That's a badass fight.

I think Straus will win by having better/faster hands and being lighter on his feet

I agree. If Straus catches Wilcox, then it will probably be over quick. Wilcox needs to maul Straus early. The longer the fight goes, the better it is for Straus.

solid looking card. i think bellator should put saad awad on their main cards more often. he is a good fighter, a finisher and they need to build more homegrown talent

I think it's an excellent matchup, on a solid card. I think Straus wins to set up the PitBull hematch. The first fight was pretty good and Straus seems to have upped his game since then. Wilcox will show up and is far from a gimme win though. Looking forward to this card that's for sure

it's been a turning of the guard, with Patricky losing,Shlemenko losing, the Rhino losing, Chandler losing, Curran losing, it's been a very pleasant changing of the guard.
this particular card looks like sh*t, but there's a lot of good coming from bellator still.

They have all looked like s---. Getting rid of the tourney structure, killing their MW star by putting him vs. Tito, and putting Joey Beltran in a title fight (protecting Rampage) are just a few moments that have put my interest level in a steep decline. Aside from a few potentially exciting fights, they're lucky if I even PVR the event at this point.

The fact you DVR something you go out of your way to bash so much is funny to me.

i 100% agree. i was a major bellator fan when guys like Curran and Chandler and Pitbull were still rising the ranks, when Askren, Saunders and Lima were in the WW division etc...
and i totally burned out on them and the constant Alvarez vs Chandler fights...
but having said that, they've got some nice prospects and new champs such as Hasley and Brooks(i think he's champ) and i personally find, the cards i don't recognize many of the names of, actually turn out pretty good. then it's back to prospects fighting hard.
