Predictions: 3 of 3 Winners, 1 Perfect, 215 Points   |   Tied for 530th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for a really fun-looking Bellator card on Saturday night. 

Prelims kick off on Spike.com at 630pm ET followed by a five-bout main card on Spike TV at 9pm. 

Seeing as there are 18 fights scheduled (some good prelims for a Bellator show, BTW,) I'm guessing we'll have in the neighborhood of 7-8 postlims. 

Enjoy!

I think I need Jimmie Smith to go on a little more about the new judging system.

The man who won a draw .. ( would have been a great rematch ... screw you judges, American TV ads are weird / different etc / better )

although if my memory is right I think Samchez was screwed over by judges in bellator before so .. dunno. . I would have preferred to seen 50/50 and rematch ( up your ante )

With Ralek (I think) training with Kron,who's shown hugely improved striking, often with Cesar gracie guys and that whole crew (whatever they are now) I expected some striking and improved wrestling,but nothing.Kato isn't exactly doing much either.

Gracie is such a throwback style fighter. The type you would find in early UFC or Pride.
