Quinton Jackson (36-11) vs. Satoshi Ishii (14-5)
Haha! "Rampage" got sent back to the minors after breaking his valid contract and being forced out of the UFC by a judge. Good for Bellator since they need stars and fuck "Rampage" because he's a shit of a human being.
Ishii is making his Bellator debut and the fact of the matter is that this cat has never achieved the level of MMA fighter that people had hoped. Satoshi is slow and has his Judo background and all but he's nothing special.
This should be an easy return win for Jackson but you never know what kind of shape he's going to show up in so don't go betting on a stoppage or anything crazy. This could be a very boring fight btw.
WINNER-Quinton Jackson by Decision
Lightweight Title Fight
Michael Chandler (14-3) vs. Patricky Freire (16-7)
Will Brooks was granted his leave from Bellator, and like Eddie Alvarez before him, he took the title with him. Now Bellator is back at the drawing board pitting two perennial top contenders against each other for the new belt that is used as a stepping stone for MMA careers.
Chandler is back on a two fight bounce after a three fight losing streak to Will Brooks (twice) and Eddie Alvarez. So, he's the bridesmaid who has been given a million 2nd chances by the company who desperately wants him to be a star. Mike is in his prime and though his chin has been a bit of a weak spot, he's well rounded and can do everything well.
The lesser of the two "Pitbull" brothers is decently well rounded but he's a journeyman at best. We thank him for knocking Ryan Couture to the moon but he's not that great. He's not terrible but Chandler should win unless something crazy happens.
WINNER-Michael Chandler by Decision
Matt Mitrione (9-5) vs. Carl Seumanutafa (10-6)
Mitrione made the smart decision to move to the rather shallow Bellator Heavyweight division to ply his trade. Matt is a title contender the moment he walks to the Bellator cage and is a sneaky athletic striker with power in his hands and sharp leg kicks.
"Badwater" is part of Gilbert Melendez's Skrap Pack and he's a big hitter who made his Bellator debut in January with a TKO win.
MMAFO has long been big Mitrione supporters and the eye poking debacle with Travis Browne should be turned into a No Contest. But it won't. MMA athletic commissions are a joke filled with incompetent morons. Anywho, Matt gets the stoppage win and either fights "Rampage" next or continues toward the vacant Bellator Heavyweight title.
WINNER-Matt Mitrione by Rd.1 TKO
The Californian is undefeated and though she has had very little experience in MMA so far, she is turning a lot of heads. Yes, MacFarlane is a fetching young lady but she has finished two opponents and Bellator is really helping this beauty can become a star.
Beccs has won 4 in a row and at 37 the time is now for Ruth to make her impact. Rebecca is a scrappy boxer who is game for any brawl.
Eh, we think Scott Coker knows what he's doing and with that genius bit of insight, we pick the hottie in what could be a close fight.
WINNER-Ilima-Lei MacFarlane by Decision
