The MMA Vivisection - Bellator Newcastle: Pitbull vs. Scope picks & analysis
The UFC isn’t the only promotion putting out a somewhat sub-par effort this week. Bellator returns with another European fight card that - while actually a general upgrade from their normal prelims, and an upgrade from their normal Euro events - is still pretty much a one-fight event. Former lightweight title challenger Patricky ‘Pitbull’ Freire returns for his first bout of 2019, against former BAMMA lightweight champion Ryan ‘Big Baby’ Scope. In the co-main event, reality TV star Aaron Chalmers takes on the man who beat ‘Baby Slice.’ The rest of the event is a mix of decent UK prospects and regional veterans.
