Bellator should add young EXCITING rookies on these MAIN cards. You don't want to be known as the graveyard of former UFC stars.

Still, Fedor was a favorite as Wanderlei (PRIDE days). Looking forward to this

They have Aaron Pico on the card, who they're banking on being a superstar in the sport. He already has deals with Nike and other major companies even though he's never had a professional MMA fight before.

It's a big gamble, but have some young upstarts with a few highlight reel skills sets in the PROMOS and ads for the card

A serious prospect who has junior national championships in folk,greco and freestyle wrestling. Has Jr Golden Gloves as well. One to watch for

Their young guys all laid an egg on that Tito Vs Chael card. Scott Coker probably doesn't want to go through that again. The young guys worth watching are already booked (the Pitbulls, McKee, Chidi, Koreshkov) or are coming off of losses/injuries (Straus, Ward, Caldwell).

Larkin vs lima should be fun, and Chandler crushing a can will be fun too. I'm interested to see how Pico will look against someone experienced. Gallagher vs Machida will be interesting too. Gallagher's striking looks shytty and Machida has had two huge knockouts in a row.

 

[King & Duck]

great card

 

[aceboon]

Lima vs Larkin is the real main event for me, also looking forward to Pico's debut and Machida vs Gallagher

 

[Roman Brady]

Only interested in the WW title bout and partially intrigued by the HW fight. But the main event man I have never understood the appeal of this fight even when they were both juicing. There is no way sonnen stands, it's going to be ugly as fuk

 

[aceboon]

Good read on Pico from ESPN, too long to copy+paste

Is Aaron Pico the greatest prospect in MMA history?
