Bellator’s second season keeps on rolling with tonight’s event taking place at the Monroe Civic Center in Monroe, LA. With Paulo Filho coming down with a case of “Too Strong”, he has been replaced by UFC veter…er former signee Jay Silva in the evenings non title catchweight fight with the organizations middleweight champ Hector Lombard. The event will also feature the semi final round of the featherweight tournament and also have some random heavyweight action. Now onto the picks.

Main Event: Non Title Catchweight (190lb)

Hector Lombard vs. Jay Silva

Silva is taking this fight on less than a weeks notice, hope he gets paid well, dude is going to catch a beating.

- Lombard by whatever he wants.

Featherweight Tournament Semi-Finals

Wilson Reis vs. Patricio “Pitbull” Freire

Both fighters have nasty bjj, so the difference will be in the stand up. Unless Wilson has improved his striking form last year I see him taking an L.

- Pitbull via tenacious beat down.

Georgi Karakhanyan vs. Joe Warren

Georgi blitzed his quarter final opponent Bao Quatch in the 1st round while Warren went to decision in his. While Warrens world class wrestling could secure him a decision win, the tournament format favors the fighter who can win as quickly as possible while taking little damage as possible. Going with the more experienced and less fatigued fighter.

- Karakhanyan via tko

Heavyweight

Shawn Jordan vs. Douglas Williams

Don’t know too much about either guy other than their records. Seeing as Williams is at 6-11, I’m going with Jordan. When you have damn near twice as many loses than wins, I wouldn’t be surprised if your own mother bet against you.

- Shawn Jordan via not sucking
