The headline fight pits Marlon Sandro against Daniel Straus in the Bellator featherweight tournament final. First, however, Marcos Galvao and Travis Marx will go head to head in the first bantamweight semifinal of the year.  Continue...

MMA Betting Online: Jaime Jara is a terrifying man. Personally, I would not want to fight someone with the word HATE tattooed across his chest, especially if the letters seem to be dripping blood. Then again, if I were put in the ring with any of these guys in the upcoming King of the Cage event “All In,”  Continue...

MMA Betting Online: Bellator 66 on Friday night will be a nice warm up for all those eager to wager on MMA, but need a fix before the big fight between Jon Jones and Rashad Evans on Saturday.

MMA Bellator Betting Online: The first meeting between Eric Prindle and Thiago Santos in a Bellator matchup ended up making headlines - but not for a reason either fighter envisioned.

Bellator 58 Betting Online: Champion Eddie Alvarez is coming off an injury that delayed but did not take any luster off this Championship Title Fight against the hungry and relentless Michael Chandler.  Continue...

Bellator 58 Betting Online: Champion Eddie Alvarez headlines a full card against Challenger Mike Chandler with other battles on the Main Card including Jessica Aguilar vs. Lisa Ellis-Ward II. Eddie actually approached Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney about buying a share of the company after UFC purchased Strikeforce. It was a good idea to be vested in the organization you’re fighting for and helping build, but Viacom recently bought a majority stake in Bellator. This works out better for all with fighters, media and even the fans on multiple levels.  Continue...

MMA Betting Online. Although Ronnie Mann is known for his speed and power, Curran's technical fighting skills never quite let the fighter establish a rhythm offensively. Curran stayed busy, throwing flying knees and countering effectively for the diecision. World-ranked Marlon Sandro also scored a victory over Nazareno Malegarie to secure his spot in the finals.  Continue...

MMA Betting Online: Bellator's season four welterweight tournament will conclude at Bellator 43 on May 7, 2011.

Headlining this Bellator event is a finals matchup that should produce some fireworks. Rick Hawn 11-0 is undefeated in his professional career. Jay Hieron 21-4 is the final man to hold the IFL welterweight title, and a veteran of several top promotions. Both men are riding decision victories from the tournament semi-finals, and each one wants nothing more than to clock the other one out and secure a shot at Ben Askren's welterweight belt.  Continue...

Can McCollough give Patricky his second loss?
The 33-year old is on a two-fight win streak, with his last fight being a unanimous decision over The Ultimate Fighter alumnus Corey Hill. Over half of his 19 victories come by way of knockout. And the dude's been finished only once.  Continue...

“Bad” Brad Blackburn received his walking papers from the UFC following two consecutive losses to Amir Sadollah and DeMarques Johnson. His loss to Johnson must have been especially tough – not only did it send Blackburn out of the UFC, it earned Johnson the Knockout of the Night Award for a body kick that put Blackburn away in a fight he was readily winning.  Continue...

Dan “The Handler” Hornbuckle is a bad dude. No, not the kind that wears muscle tanks and fights ninjas to save the president, but the kind that knows how to finish a fight. With a tidy 21-3 record, only one of his 20 victories was a decision victory. He doesn’t discriminate against either type of finish either, with 10 KO and 10 SUB victories.  Continue...

Bellator Betting Online: Herbert Goodman (16-8; 7 KOs, 7 SUBs) is a former running back who played for the Green Bay Packers for two years in 2000 through 2001. In his short-lived NFL career, he compiled 4 total rushing attempts for -3 yards. Laugh all you want, but just making it into the NFL is a tremendous accomplishment in itself. He showed some promise as a kick returner, averaging 30 yards per return on 5 career kick returns.

To play running back, you need to have a decent amount of athleticism, which Goodman possesses. After flaming out in the NFL, Goodman tried his hand at MMA, where he’s had middling success. He’s been fighting professionally for three years, which is still newbie status in MMA, but has compiled a winning record. Unfortunately, he’s not very spry at 32 years old and is clearly not the same athlete he was as a 22-year old rookie on the Packers.  Continue...

Bellator Betting Online: Bellator Middleweight champ Hector “Shango” Lombard is one of the most exciting fighters in MMA. Although he stands just 5’9, he packs a lot of muscle onto his compact frame. He’s got fight-ending power in both hands, and is absolutely fearless when it comes to standing and trading. As a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under American Top Team head coach Conan Silviera, Lombard has considerable submission savvy as well as devastating ground-and-pound. His last loss was nearly four years ago to Gegard Mousasi, who promptly reeled off an amazing run that saw the Armenian rocket up the rankings at both middleweight and heavyweight. Lombard, a native of Cuba, has not been beaten in 19 consecutive fights since the loss, but the quality of his opponents have been mediocre at best.  Continue...

Bellator Betting Online: Prospect Dan Hornbuckle looks to rebound from his loss to former U.S. Olympic wrestler Ben Askren in the Season 2 Welterweight tournament championships in a bout against UFC-veteran Brad Blackburn. The 29-year old Hornbuckle is one of Bellator’s most talented fighters and is well-known for a lengthy reel of electrifying knockouts and slick submissions. Will he be able to add to his own highlight reel?

Dan “The Handler” Hornbuckle (21-3; 10 KOs, 10 SUBs) vs. “Bad” Brad Blackburn (15-11-1; 8 KOs, 3 SUBs)  Continue...

Bet on Bellator 24: Middleweight champion Hector “Shango” Lombard will square off against former Green Bay Packers running back Herbert Goodman in a non-title tilt that largely appears to be a “stay busy” fight for the champ. He’s heavily favored coming in, which is no surprise considering he’s unbeaten in his last 18 matches. In smaller promotions like Strikeforce and Bellator, the lack of roster depth forces matches that are ridiculously lopsided like this one. This is where you swoop in and score some quick cash.  Continue...
