Bellator 221 Predictions

It’s Bellator next week and to be far to the company, it’s a nice looking card they’ve got going on. Michael Chandler - Bellator veteran is defending his lightweight championship, MVP, one of the most entertaining welterweights in all of MMA will be fighting and it’s just an all round good card.

Jake Hager Vs. TJ Jones (Heavyweight)

Opening the card is 1-1 , TJ Jones fighting former WWE wrestler, Jake Hager who performed under the ring name, Jack Swagger. This will be a good test for Hager as he’s fighting a younger opponent rather than a 40 year old man. I see this fight being very similar to Hager’s debut and I see him winning in the opening round via a submission victory.

Prediction: Jake Hager (Round 1; Submission)

AJ McKee Vs. Pat Curran (Featherweight)

Undefeated featherweight AJ McKee takes on 31 year old, Pat Curran. This should be a good fight, I have to go with the younger fighter and say that McKee will win via decision.

Prediction: AJ McKee (Decision)

Douglas Lima Vs. Michael Page (Welterweight Grand Prix Semi-Final)

Douglas Lima hasn’t been knocked out since 2007. Michael Page is a highlight reel but can’t see him knocking Lima out. This will be a good fight and I see Page winning. I don’t think he’ll win by knockout or submission so I’m going to say Page will take Lima to the distance and get a big victory.

Prediction: Michael Page (Decision)

Michael Chandler (C) Vs. Patrico Pitbull (Bellator Lightweight Championship)

This is a fun main event - Michael Chandler is a great fighter who is best known for his fights with Eddie Alvarez. This should be a great battle between two elite level fighters but I have to go with the Bellator lightweight champion.

Prediction: Michael Chandler (Decision)
