In what should be a very special night for Bellator MMA, two bitter rivals do battle in the main event. Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva absolutely despise each other and have ever since they coached against each other in the Ultimate Fighter. Now that they both are older, you would think that they could bury the hatchet, right? Wrong. With Sonnen moving to Bellator this year, it was only a matter of time before they did battle, with more and more fighters making the move over from the UFC.
There is a lot of intriguing fights on this card, so NEOSI’s Vince McKee and Eli Mooneyham will take you through their predictions for the night of fights in NYC.

If these two are as good at picking fights as they are at calling soccer games, then you can take those picks to the bank!
