Van Steenis' only loss was to a roided up gorilla who held him against the cage for 3 rounds. I think Salter can choke him quick.

John Salter, SUB, R2
I like van Steenis. Kid's on a tear. And as confident as ever after dispatching Mike Shipman. But I just don't know if he can beat John Salter and his big, dumb face. I'm still shocked Salter has won 16/20 fights....... And finished every one of them. Crazy. So far, it seems he's only struggled against superior grapplers. I don't think van Steenis is that. I'm sure he'd get close, but ultimately end up losing.
Lawal vs. Kapel
Muhammed Lawal, DEC
I find myself reeeaally thinking twice about this fight. In my head, that little voice is screaming at me. Just wonder how motivated King Mo will be for his farewell fight tonite. How motivated can a King Mo that's lost 3 straight fights, and 4 of his last 5..... All by KO. Is this just one last cash grab? How motivated is a guy that hasn't won in 2½ years. But even after all that. I think hed find the motivation to NOT LOSE to this dude nobody knows about. King Mo by boring ass snoozefest decision.
Smith vs. Blencowe
Leslie Smith, DEC
I just don't see Blencowe beating Smith. I don't see it. Arlene Blencowe's wins, are all ONLY vs. girls on or below her level. Everytime she's been given a step-up, she's been defeated. And Leslie Smith is tough as nails. She showed us that all the way back at UFC 180 vs. Jessica Eye when she showed the world her best zombie impression by being willing to let her ear detach from her face just to keep fighting. She's a savage. Blencowe isn't a savage. So I don't see her out toughing Smith either.
Fortune vs. Anyanwu
Tyrell Fortune, TKO, R2
Where the hell has Zu Anyanwu been!? I feel like I haven't seen him in 2 years. He had that upset win over Greg Rebello in 2017 on DWCS. Then had that Split Decision loss vs Justin Ledet in his UFC Debut, annnd then he disappeared. But it's all good. It's led him to this exact spot and its to give Tyrell Fortune a step-up in competition and I say it's time we see if Fortune can handle. I say yes. Should be fun while it lasts tho.
Anglickas vs. Young
Jordan Young, SUB, R2
This very well could be your fight of the night. If not, then round of the night. The 1st round should be insanity. These guys are both massive Light-Heavyweight's. And they're both cold hearted killers. But I gotta go with the obvious. That lone loss on Anglickas' record, is by submission. Annnd thats Jordan Young's strength. Bellator wants to see how much he's worked on defending himself on the mat or they think he can catch Young clean on the chin with a power shot, which he could. But........
Harding vs. Bell
Janay Harding, TKO, R3
Both these chicks have KO losses to another Featherweight on the card tonite in Blencowe. And both these girls match up actually pretty similarly. Everything's about equal, just Harding has a 2" height advantage

John Salter, SUB, R2
This is an interesting fight. It would've been better as a main card fight on a better card. Van Steenis looks like a decent prospect, training with Mousasi seems to be doing him wonders. Salter is 1 of those guys who you pick to lose cdoz he just doesn't look like he should be beating the guys he's up against. Yet he keeps on subbing them! This could easily be the classic prospect loss by submission to the more experienced veteran. But I'll go with the Dutchman or will I??? I don't fookin knoW!!!
Lawal vs. Kapel
Andrew Kapel, SUB, R2
I heard someone in an interview say that King Mo has been sick for a while, I'm pretty sure it was Big John on his podcast with Josh Thomson?, some sort of illness where Mo has lost a tonne of weight. I never thought much of it until I just watched those weigh ins and man Mo looks skinny! Like unhealthily skinny! Maybe I reading too much into it and making something outta nothing. But I get the feeling that Mo shoulda stayed retired. I can see another Daniel Strauss situation, where he just is not the same fighter from a few years back. Now saying that, Kapel isn't exactly the type of guy who I'd ever pick to beat King Mo, but I just can't shake the feeling that this isn.t the same King Mo, this is just plain Mo! I smell an upset!!! and it may be quite sad to watch
Fortune vs. Campbell
Chuck Campbell, TKO, R1
This is 1 of those Bellator cards full of squash matches! I see a lot of 1st round finishes for the favourites! This is about the only undercard fight I can see being competitive. Even then I'm struggling to pick Campbell. But he is the bigger, more powerful striker plus he is out of AKA. I think Tyrell is the 1 of the Fortune brothers to watch, Tyree is good but he been KO'd before, amatuers, Campbell is big, powerful and has dangerous striking. I'
