The Bloody Elbow staff has made its predictions for Saturday night’s big Bellator 214 fight card in Inglewood, California. As expected, most of us are backing Ryan Bader to defeat the great Fedor Emelianenko to win the heavyweight grand prix and become the promotion’s first ever simultaneous two-division champion. For the co-main event, despite Henry Corrales being a veteran with more quality wins than featherweight prospect Aaron Pico, we are all picking Pico to continue his impressive rise up the ranks.
Note: Predictions are entered throughout the week and collected the day before the event. Explanations behind each pick are not required and some writers opt not to do so for their own reasons.
