Like Freire. He has great striking and submissions and excellent takedown defense. Warren is clearly the best wrestler he has ever faced and Warren has a habit of avoiding some difficult positions through sheer will power.

But I think Freire has the potential to be top 3 in his chosen division - currently featherweight. Not the tallest (he is 5'5) in this group I would like to see him drop to 135. But I think he has superstar potential and he will be my only play of this card.

Marriot and Karakhanyan came close to submitting Warren. This boy from Brazil is on another level to those two

I should have planned to go see this. It's in Louisville, isn't it? I looked at tickets, and they were only $15, and it looked like a micro venue.

Please, please don't let Warren lay on Pitbull the whole 3 rounds to make a chitty fight.

$15 a ticket that is a good deal. I've enjoyed watching this season of Bellator.

Warren showed against Karakhanyan that he is not a lay and pray. I have no doubt he can take Pitbull down. From there he will need to avoid the smooth submissions. This is a great fight

Reis took Pitbull down easily in the first round
Freis kept in standing in rounds 2 and 3

Warren has a good chance to win this....if this thing goes to the cards he takes it....but I think more likely is a mistake and a tap....Pitbull, by all accounts, is solid on the ground

i recognized fausto the minute they introduced her...we saw her look very good in her loss but she lost late in a very tough fight...(i forget to who)......

i think she was a considerable doggie.....

I put a small bet on the Pitbull.

2 Big Faves already slaughtered. Surely a third underdog won't win.

I think Pitbull is gassed.

If the first round wasn't 10-8 I don't know what is.
