BELLATOR 32: OCTOBER 14, 2010
venue: Kansas City Power & Light District in Kansas City, Missouri

Bellator Bantamweight Championship:
Ed West (15-4) vs. Zach Makovsky (11-2)

Bellator Heavyweight Championship:
Cole Konrad (6-0) vs. Neil Grove (10-2-1)

Jim Wallhead (19-5) vs. Ryan Thomas (11-5)
Chris Page vs. Michael Chandler

 

[ukgaz]

Only the Konrad/ Grove line is out. Grove is almost 40 and while he has good power on his feet he is going to be on his back. His only chance is to land strikes at the beginning of each round. This is a no play for me.

Waiting for the Wallhead/ Thomas line to come out

 

[ukgaz]

Took Wallhead at 1.51 at Bookmaker. I think he can control the fight against Thomas and take a decision

Good job GW:0074 . Wonder if the use of elbows will make Konrad more aggressive in his ground and pound. The first round and semi-finals these were not allowed
