I doubt we will get lines on this fight but Bruno Carvalho apparently beat Edson Barboza in Muay thai.

[SPX]

Apparently Rodrigo Lima vs Ronnie Mann has been added to the main card here.

Lima is 10-1 but his one loss was to a 15-6 Japanese guy in his first Bellator fight. Mann's been out for just over a year but he's pretty damn good.

[poopoo333]

What is Lima's style?

[SPX]

Looks to be another BJJ guy. Of his wins, 5 are by sub, 3 are by (T)KO and 2 are by decision. His one loss is by decision.

And this is kind of strange: According to Sherdog he is associated with Team Nogueira, but according to the Bellator bio page, it's Tata Fight Team (whoever the fuck that is).

But yeah, looks like your typical Brazilian fighter who started in BJJ and moved into MMA from there.

Just looked over Mann's record. He's only been subbed once in over 30 fights and that was by Hatsu Hioki. He also has only been knocked out once.

I see I see...how is his striking/takedowns?

[SPX]

Don't ask me . . . I haven't watched any vids.

[poopoo333]

Mann opened at -210

[SPX]

You have any thoughts on the fight?

[SPX]

So no thoughts on any of this shit?

[poopoo333]

I haven't seen Lima fight so...no thoughts. I got burned on RFA betting on guys who I don't watch fight..I am not going to make that mistake again.

I like Awad against Rickels.

[SPX]

Why Awad? And thoughts on Newton/Zayats?

[SPX]

PP, why Lima?
