Bellator 70, Titan FC 22, & TUF "Live" Semi-Finals Picks & Prognostications

We are Russian (sic) to get the picks in for Bellator & TUF Live that have shown Friday is a terrible night for MMA.  Everyone is busy on a Friday but there are some easy picks in these events to raise the win percentages.  Also, some interesting bouts.

Bellator 60 Season 6 Finale


Heavyweight Champion Cole Konrad vs Eric Prindle Nobody takes the "Giant Ginger" and there really isn't any reason to.  The guy ekes into the finals when his opponent didn't make weight the 2nd time after cancelling their initial meeting due to illness.  Bellator gave him the pass but it didn't smell right.  Konrad is a wrestling machine but Eric is big, slow, and not very talented.  This is a long tedious bout until Pindle wears out and submits to the blubbery mass above him.
WINNER-Cole Konrad by Rd.3 Submission


Rick Hawn vs Brent Weedman  I expect this to be a closer fight than most but the Judo master wins in the end.
WINNER-Rick Hawn by Decision


Luis Nogueira vs Hiroshi Nakamura  You gotta like the smallest Nog from Brazil against the breakable Japanese prospect.
WINNER-Luis Nogueira by Rd.2 TKO


Rich Clementi vs Derek Campos  Originally slated to face TBA who probably had a better shot than the late replacement.
WINNER-Rich Clementi by Decision


Titan FC 22 (HDNet)
Anthony Johnson vs David Branch  Jeezus "Rumble" missed weight AGAIN!  WTF is wrong with this moron?  Just move to Light Heavyweight already you idiot or maybe become a professional.  Despite his track record for epic failure, TFC made this a catchweight bout catering to their only "star" on the card.  Branch is a solid enough fighter but a hydrated Johnson should beat him like its his girlfriend (which he was arrested for back in '09).  Tony is one piece of shit but he keeps getting paid so he should use that money to seek out Mike Dolce to fix fatty's problem.
WINNER-Anthony Johnson by Rd.3 TKO


L.C. Davis vs Bill Kamery a 3 fight skid for the former WEC veteran meeting the 1 fight winning streak of the Iowa submission specialist.  Despite recent events you gotta think Davis is better than this.  He has competed at a much higher level and if he has anything left he should find a win to earn the judges approval.
WINNER-LC Davis by Decision


Jose Vega vs Andrew Whitney Vega the former Bellator cast off meets the up and coming "Beast" repping Springfield Fight Club that spawned Michael Johnson.  Holla atcha rookie.
WINNER-Andrew Whitney by Rd.2 Submission


Fabio Mello vs Nick Mamalis 6 wins in a row for Fabio who is the Odie to "Garfield."
WINNER-Fabio Mello by Decision


Rudy Bears vs Nick Nolte Rudy was a decent fighter until he hit Bellator which ruined his career.  "Not That" Nick Nolte has shown some power but Rudy isn't as bad as his record indicates and he's just due for a win.
WINNER-Rudy Bears by Decision


Willie Mack vs Mirsad Bektic Will is 0-2.  Bektic is 3-0 out of ATT.  Hmmm.
WINNER-Mirsad Bektic by Rd.1 TKO




TUF "Live" Semi-Finals (FX)
Anyone else not see this season for the 1st time ever?  I love Urijah Faber and yet could not watch TUF this year since it was placed so inconveniently.  That doesn't mean we can't make some uneducated picks but since Dana White is already talking about "fixing" the next season of TUF I'll make a suggestion.  Any other night besides Friday would help.  


James Vick vs Mike Chiesa W-Chiesa


Vinc Pichel vs Al Iaquinta W-Iaquinta
