Bellator 170 Ortiz vs. Sonnen: Picks, Prognostications + Odds


Main Card:

Tito Ortiz (18-12-1) +185 vs. Chael Sonnen (28-14-1) -200

      Are you frigging kidding us? Two of the most hated MMAFO has ever loathed in the history of MMA, and Bellator is forcing us to watch this train wreck. Hopefully, a godsend meteor falls crashing into The Forum and disintegrates the cage and all inside (sorry to the poor referee but that's a sacrifice that must be made). Both of these highly overrated, far past their prime (which was never that great) elderly grapplers trudge through a long, long tepid bout of grinding each other in an almost pseudo-sexual way until Tito gasses out and we limp to the final bell.

WINNER-Chael Sonnen by Decision

Paul Daley (38-14-2) -110 vs. Brennan Ward (14-4) +100

      "Irish" Brennan has been rolling (save for a misstep against Evangelista Santos) winning 5 of 6 with his IRA, bomb infused hands. But, "Semtex's" missiles are far more accurate and destroy the most capable of men. This is all of course hinged on Daley making weight. 

WINNER-Paul Daley by Rd.1 TKO

Ralek Gracie (3-0) +285 vs. Hisaki Kato (7-2) -315

      Oh, Ralek you controversial conundrum you. The Metamorsis founder hasn't ingratiated himself to the world by owing money all around and hasn't competed in MMA for 7 years. Ralek's only 31 but lacks combat experience. 

      "The Japanese Musketeer" (say what now?) has gone 3-1 for Bellator and throws heeeet! Kato is looking to avoid the ground and he will, bombing on common sense and sending Gracie back to the safety of the gentle art.

WINNER-Hisaki Kato by Rd.1 KO

Georgi Karakhanyan (26-6-1) -125 vs. Emmanuel Sanchez (13-3) +115

      "Insane" in the membrane Georgi is a submission master who gets crazy homie. He'll toss your ham in the frying' pan, like spam. 

      Sanchez has a little blubber, blabber, watch his belly get fatter. But don't take a chulo lightly, he can bang.

      Though he's never been finished, Karakhanyan will whip dat mainframe, I'll explain. Georgi is going to go insane tapping Sanchez trying' to break off something, soon, to get his props. You can't hide from his light beam as Karakhanyan makes you believe in the unseen.

WINNER-Georgi Karakhanyan by Rd.2 Submission

Derek Campos (17-6) +200 vs. Derek Anderson (14-2, 1) -200

      The "Stallion" has overachieved a bit amassing a 6-3 record in Bellator but he's just an average fighter. 

      "The Barbaric" lost a Split Decision to Brent Primus and was tapped by now UFC competitor Marcin Held, but otherwise he's been a nice bright spot in the 155 section. DA has beaten perennial contenders Patricky Freire and Saad Awad in his last 2 efforts and continues to look solid. Campos gets a nice durable opponent on which to gain even more experience as he continues his rise in the suddenly exciting Bellator Lightweight division.

WINNER-Derek Anderson by Decision
