Gregard Mousasi -300 vs Johnny Eblen +225
The champion is back to defend his title after showing up as a similar favorite over Austin Vanderford in February. Mousasi’s recent win brought his winning streak to four, including back to back TKO finishes.
Eblen’s Rise to Contention
Eblen is undefeated with seven Bellator wins including two finishes. His wrestling base has brought on some boring fights, but his ability to clutch a decision over top talent is undeniable.

Given Eblen’s history of taking fights to deep water, it’s surprising to see the Over bets so low. Eblen has six career first round finishes, but against talented fighters he ends up going the distance time and again.
Mousasi’s Game Against Grapplers
Gregard’s last loss was to Rafael Lovato Jr, a grappler that held him down for a five round majority decision win. In his recent third and first round finishes, both fighters engaged with him quickly. I see Eblen being tentative to force cage work, and to look to pick his shots carefully. Mousasi is head and shoulders above his competition to date.

Method of victory props are fairly consistent with Eblen’s Bellator performances. He’s never scored a submission or gone for one in Bellator. His TKO to decision ratio is 2:5 at Bellator.
Gregard Mousasi has more methods to finish, and more standing TKO’s in his career.

The difference in finishing stats is striking. Eblen is new to the sport and rising up in ranks fast. His two inch reach disadvantage isn’t ideal against the looping but accurate hands of Gregard. Age has to be a factor for Mousasi, giving up six years to Eblen. In spite of that, his win over Austin was the fastest TKO of his career.
Betting Predictions for Mousasi vs Eblen
Eblen is a gamer and rising star out of one of the best MMA schools in the nation. We think he fares better than Vanderford and will show up with a superior gameplan that tests the conditioning of the champ. With that in mind, we’re betting the Over 1 ½ Rounds prop bet. It’s not that Eblen will win, in fact he could lose at any moment. The over is a great bet offering nearly the money line of Mousasi while giving us insurance on Eblen’s upset.

Bryce Logan +176 vs Mandel Nallo -225
This prelim bout was added to the odds on fight week! Logan is coming off two bellator decision losses as the favorite after upsetting Jacob Rosales as a +170. Nallo is 1-2 over his last three fights. Nallo has never gone to a decision and is nearly always the favorite despite multiple losses.

Both fighters are from highly reputable camps. Logan is a bit small for the 155 lbs division and has the frame of a featherweight or even a bantamweight. I see Nallo enjoying that reach advantage to force stand up exchanges. Logan has been finished three times in his career to Nallo’s two TKO losses.
Betting pick for Logan vs Nallo
It’s our belief that either man has a solid chance of knocking the other out. Defensive striking is neither fighter’s strong suit and Bellator knows it- that’s why they put them as the opening fight. Our Bellator 282 prediction is ‘Fight Goes to Decision, No’ at -150. The Bellator 282 odds for this fight payout at $66.67 per $100 wagered.

Leandro Higo +385 vs Danny Sabatello -600
Sabatillo upset Brett Johns as a +220 in his last Bellator showing,and has a seven fight winning streak ranging from -333 to -565. Higo has been the underdog for five fights running, winning his last three. You may recognize HIgo from the semi-finals of TUF Brazil season 4.

Five round fights are new territory for both men, which is why the going the distance odds pay so well. Sabatello has seen four decisions in a row from DWCS 2020 and two Bellator level fights. This fight is a bantamweight title contention bout, and Higo is among the most proven fighters Sabatello has faced. However, Higo has been finished four times in the first round, making the over a scary bet.

The Sabatello money line pays well enough at $0.15 per dollar wager. His career submissions have been three times in the first round, but so has Higo against equally difficult fighters. I think his submission prop is undervalued and a very possible finish if you’re looking for a hail mary.

Higo has fought a slew of lower quality fighters. Danny is the younger fighter with a larger frame. His one loss was a knockout in Titan FC to title holder Irwin Rivera, who went on to go 1-2 in the UFC at featherweight.
Betting Predictions for Higo vs Sabatello
Higo will struggle against the grappling and height of Sabtello. Sabatello’s win over Hugo gave him his first loss, ever and Victor Hugo was considered the perfect submission wrestler for the bantamweight division. Sabatello is a -600, $15 per $100 wager bet.

If you think Higo gets the job done, it will have to be a finish. Look to the under prop bet for your top pay out at -110.
Enrique Barzola +130 vs Magomed Magomedov -170
The Bantamweight title contention tournament has another fight at Bellator 282. Magomedov has been the favorite in all fights on record including his loss to Raufeon Stots at -365. Barzola survived in UFC but is undefeated in Bellator, winning at -105 and -162. His last loss was as a +170 to Movsar Evloev.

Barzola by points is the top bet for Barzola fans. If he can win, he’ll do it in a hard fought battle. Magomedov’s money line is the right bet, given he’s just as likely to win a decision as to catch the submission.
Barzola has the superior TKO prop, but has only one TKO at a competitive level, and most of his knockouts come from seven or more years ago.

These fighters show nearly even stats. Barzola’s recent losses are to high quality UFC athletes. AKA is perhaps one of the better American gyms to deal with a Dagestani style fighter and grappler. The Bellator 282 odds show Barzola at a 43% chance of victory, but it’s much closer to 50/50 given their comparative levels of competition.
Betting Prediction for Magomedov vs Barzola
Our Top pick is the Over 1.5 Rounds at -650. Neither man has lost by the other’s preferred method of victory, so this is an easy long fight.
More Lucrative Magomedov vs Barzola Bets
The Money line for Magomedov at -162 is the safer bet. Barzola is a good value, but he’s fumbled to fighters like Kevin Aguilar and he’s taken far more damage over the course of his career. I see Magomedov out grappling and winning a narrow decision.

Brennan is the larger framed featherweight. He was an undefeated amatuer as well. By contrast, Soto was finished by a body shot in his opening pro fight and his recent decision loss was to 5-3 Adil Benjiiany.
Comparing Fighter Camps
Next Gen MMA is home to dozens of young fighters cross training with multiple camps. North County has no major athletes to speak of and a small BJJ program. Johnny is a blue belt at North County, while Brennan is a Jiu Jitsu black belt. The grappling of both camps and athletes is the biggest gap between Soto and Brennan.
Betting Predictions for Soto vs Brennan
Fight tape shows Brennan to be the more accurate striker and the superior grappler. Many of Soto’s wins rely on getting top position for ground strikes, something I think he’ll fail to do effectively here. Bet Brennan at -500 for a nice parlay ticket addition or $20 per $100 wagered payout.

Killys Mota +120 vs Dan Moret -155

The Hitman has a worse overall finishing ratio. He’s got the slightly larger frame, but gives up age to Mota. Mota has lost by knockout twice, but never by submission, Moret’s preferred method of winning. However, Moret has seen two knockout losses over his last ten bouts.
Betting Predictions for Mota vs Moret
Moret is a fantastic grappler but his age is starting to show. Mota is still developing, but I think his time at Teixeira MMA makes him too versed in BJJ to submit. Moret will struggle more with the looping hooks of Mota than he’ld like to admit. I see a tough fight, but I’m betting a small amount on the underdog, Killys Mota.
James Gonzalez +460 vs Cody Law -800

Betting Prediction for Gonzalez vs Law
The Bellator 282 odds are being generous with this fight. Law could be a -2000 and I wouldn’t bat an eye. Stylistically, he’s everything that beats Gonzalez- a fast starter with solid conditioning. Bet Law at -800.

Pam Sorenson +210 vs Cat Zingano -275

The Bellator 282 odds show Shabliy as a risk for getting submitted but I don’t see it. I think the Dagestani style grappling of Shabliy is underestimated, and his money line bet at -220 is a great payout for a contender against an aging star.

Our betting pick is the underdog Ilara Joanne. Lara’s hype train doesn’t include many major wins at women’s flyweight. Ilara’s groundwork is light years above Lara’s and I think we’ll see a submission win. Bet Joanne at +170.

The Bellator 282 Betting odds show Homasi as the more proven striker, with nearly double the finishing percentage of Mendonca. His losses at the UFC level shouldn’t be held against him, he’s an exciting athlete that tends to blaze through fighters like Maycon. Bet Homasi at -170.
