Look like they trying to redo bj penn, putting that look alike a little above bj at 9-1, so pick king BJ actually once had 11 wins 4 losses.

Kamaka III vs. Gonzales
Justin Gonzales, TKO, R2
Showing how Kamaka's only pro wins all came via decision that shows threats because he is fighting in his home state and those judges might sway for a hometown decision. But I think Gonzales will bounce back from the Pico loss, has heavier hands, a higher wrestling pedigree, and put Kamaka on his back and win via TKO in the 2nd round.

I do not understand why so many people are picking Sanchez to beat Yancy. I understand Yancy's last win was back in December 2017 against Cowboy Olivera, but Yancy fought at 185lbs in Strikeforce while Sanchez could honestly make 153lbs with proper dieting. Just putting it out there.

Yancy's style isn't reliant on his size though, if it was, then sure, he should be favored.

And that loss to Hadzovic is pretty bad.

I don't see why they need an interim title since it is part of the GP, that is the guaranteed title fight anyways. Also would have been nice to see Bellator use that RIZIN partnership to fill the vacancies by having Asakura or Ogikubo in the GP.

Yes sir! Bobby King will KO/TKO Keoni Diggs🔥💥. I always respect both fighters as both are capable of winning. But I also see a total of four #1 rankings for Bobby King and one #4 out of nearly 1000 fighters. That says volumes . 79% to 21% prediction in favor of Keoni Diggs.? The predictions on Bobby Kings last fight were even more against him. 9-1 record for Keoni Diggs and a 11-4 for Bobby King. Bobby King has more fights under his belt. Bobby King beats the predictions again on 04/23/2022!🔥💥

Kamaka is ******

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 490 Points | Tied for 347th

Why is Kai Kamaka the voting favorite? Like, ignoring his skill level, what about him has made him such a heavy favorite in all of his fights since his UFC debut, even when he was losing? Where did this Kai Kamaka hype train commence, and why is the hype train so committed to making Kamaka a favorite, even though it’s very clear by now he is not ‘that’ good.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the guy is decent, but to put him over one of the most underrated regional lightweights in the past ten years is pretty ******* absurd. Justin is coming off a first and only loss to Aaron Pico, whom by now is a legitimate prospect and a scary ***********er. Meanwhile, Kamaka got manhandled by Jonathan Pearce, a guy many of you thought Kamaka would destroy easily, fought tooth and nail to a split decision loss against journeyman TJ Brown, and popped a draw against some guy I’m not even gonna bother googling, but now he gets a win over a 14 - 10 nobody, and the majority of you are gonna bet your chips on him? Why???

His resume is worse, his record is worse, his in-ring consistency is all over the place, ****, he doesn’t even have a height or reach advantage! AND he’s ill equipped on his back! Tapology is on crack, **** off with this nonsense

Patchy Mix might get KO'd here against Horiguchi. He and Gallagher looked horrible last fight.

Honestly think this is a horrible matchup.

These are Cris's day in the sun again before she gets subbed by Kayla (in my opinion) if she loses that she can still fight on for years against whoever, she has to be one of the toughest ladies ever.... A reincarnated warrior queen. I think there is the steroids thing which is kind of bad though. If she beats Kayla that is maybe her biggest win so far.

No offense to Blencowe, if she can pull off a win good for her, would be one of the biggest Australian wins to ever go down

AyyLmaonnaise you know you're my boy...

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 555 Points | Tied for 119th

but let's be honest about Kai Kamaka's run in the UFC. He might be a middling fighter in these bigger promotions, but he was on the wrong end of some bum ass decisions. He absolutely beat TJ Brown. That was a bum ass split decision. Danny Chavez fight he clearly won but because he is a middling fighter and still young he had two eye pokes and a nut shot that moved the fight to a Majority Draw... AND THEN GOT RELEASED!!! The guy should have been on a two fight UFC winning streak but bad judging and bad form in the cage caused him to go 0-1-1. This reset in Bellator is the best thing for him and I for one am glad he was able to get that John de Jesus win this past December. I think that was huge for his confidence. I wouldn't count him out in this one. It's lined up as a pick em, currently on most books.

before they ran the main card on UFC fight pass. She won a bloody fight against another low end fighter. This was less than a month ago. She is here to cash a check. I would be shocked if she pulled this off.

@thwpro I agree he got unlucky but j train is way more skilled than he is imo. If he’s having close decisions with low level comp idk how he’ll fare against the grinding chain wrestling of j train
