Bellator 287: Piccolotti vs. Barnaoui

Allianz Cloud Arena, Milan, Italy

Main Card: Showtime – 3:00 pm EST

 

Adam Piccolotti vs. Mansour Barnaoui

Very interesting fight here. Adam Piccolotti has been fighting in Bellator for a while now while Mansour Barnaoui is just coming over, but people think highly of him. Barnaoui has experience – 23 professional fights. I’m not sure I can back Piccolotti in this spot, he’s kind of fallen off recently. He lost to Benson Henderson, David Rickels, Goiti Yamauchi, and most recently, to Sidney Outlaw. This is another big fight for him and if you look at Barnaoui, he just hasn’t been losing. Additionally, he’s won his last seven fights and they have all been finishes. How do you not back this guy? He’s throwing flying knees, submitting guys. There’s no doubt he is a very talented fighter. He’s the favorite for a reason, a little chalky but I’ll take Mansour Barnaoui straight up on the ML (-140)

Fabian Edwards vs. Charlie Ward

Another big fight we have is Fabian Edwards taking on Charlie Ward. I think the only way Charlie has a shot in this fight is that he has to use his wrestling and get this fight to the ground. He has to make this a close fight and get inside of Fabian and not let him fight from the outside. If Edwards is able to get on the outside, he’s going to throw these big head kicks, body kicks, that long jab.

But if you look at what Charlie’s been doing recently, he has been using more of his wrestling and you know he’s going to come into this fight with great cardio. I don’t think Charlie should be this big of an underdog. It’s a tough fight, no doubt, but there’s no value on Fabian Edwards. I think at +430 it’s big enough that we can take a chance on Charlie Ward. I think with the way he’s been fighting and the adjustments he’s made, he has a chance to win this fight. Give me the dog, Charlie Ward ML (+430).
