The MMA Vivisection - Bellator 231 & 232: Mir vs. Nelson 2 & MacDonald vs. Lima 2 picks, odds, & analysis

Bellator is taking over the mantle of premier MMA organization this week with two cards, in primetime, full of interesting mixed martial arts action. Starting on Friday night, former champion Phil Davis returns against top prospect Karl Albrektsson in the co-main event of a card headlined by former UFC champ Frank Mir against longtime action heavyweight Roy Nelson, for a rematch of their 2011 bout.

And on Saturday, Bellator’s welterweight title is on the line, with Douglas Lima hoping to take back the belt from the man who beat him back in 2018, Rory MacDonald. World class kickboxer Robin van Roosmalen makes his Bellator debut, and Nick Newell and Paul Daley help fill out what should be an action heavy card.
