The MMA Vivisection - Bellator 222: MacDonald vs. Gracie picks, odds, & analysis

With the UFC taking a week off, it’s the perfect time for a high profile Bellator event, and this week’s in Madison Square Garden is one of the most stacked cards the promotion has ever put together. In the main event, welterweight champion Rory MacDonald takes on challenger Neiman Gracie for the semi-finals of the promotion’s 170 lb Grand Prix. In the co-main event former UFC champion Lyoto Machida takes on former title contender Chael Sonnen. And the whole main card opens with a bantamweight promotion vs. promotion superfight with RIZIN bantamweight champion Kyoji Horiguchi rematching Bellator Bantamweight champ Darrion Caldwell, having defeated the ‘Wolf’ via submission last December. Throw Eduardo Dantas, Dillon Danis, Aaron Pico, Rena Kubota, and Valerie Loureda in there and it should be a fight card to remember.
