Ryan Bader is also currently the Bellator heavyweight champion. Machida was a UFC champion and since signing with Bellator has gone 2-2. He is currently riding a two-fight losing skid. This fight is a classic wrestler vs. striker match-up.
Prediction: Bader via unanimous decision
Corey Anderson vs. Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov

He will face promotional newcomer Yagshimuradov who is riding an impressive eight-fight winning streak. Of those victories, he has a variety of stoppages, which include both knockouts and submissions. This bout between the two 31-year-old's comes down to who can capitalize first.
Prediction: Yagshimuradov via Round 2 TKO
Vadim Nemkov vs. Phil Davis
