The MMA Vivisection – Bellator 142: Dynamite picks, odds, and analysis
Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

Wait, Dallas is back!? You’re damn right Dallas is back. At least for one more Vivisection as he joins Connor and Zane to talk all the ins and outs of Bellator’s big tent pole kickboxing & MMA event. It’s a huge spectacle of fisticuffs as the Viacom promotion will run two rings side by side, one for MMA, one for Kickboxing, sometimes with a fight each at the same time. Add a 4-man, 1-night tournament on top of all that and you’ve got yourself some quality spectacle.

Liam McGeary will make the first defense of his light heavyweight title against legendary former UFC champ Tito Ortiz, and his next challenger will be decided when Phil Davis, Emanuel Newton, King Mo, and Linton Vassel put on 3 fights in one night to crown one true no. 1 contender. Oh, and Zack Mwekassa is going to try and avenge a loss to Saulo Cavalari and Serhiy Adamchuk and Paul Daley are going to throw bombs at their respective opponents!

As always, if our Ooyala player isn’t working for you, you can watch the whole show over on YouTube. While you’re there, remember to give us a “Like” and to subscribe to MMANATIONDOTCOM, for all the latest Bloody Elbow interviews and analysis.
