Bellator 41 Preview

Bellator Season 4 rolls right along with 2 non title fights and 2 Semi Final fights to determine the Finals for the featherweight tournament.
Main event
Joe Warren vs Marcos Galvao- Joe Warren the featherweight champ will take on Bellator new comer and Nova Uniao team member Marcos Galvao. Warren has recently commented on throwing his hat into next seasons bantamweight tournament as well as competing in the Olympics in 2012. Galvao a great competitor who has been in the cage with some though competition perhaps could give Warren a test but shouldn't get in the way of the previous mentioned goals of the Team Quest member.

Prediction Warren Decision- Warren is just too good a wrestler for Galvao and will grind out another win.

Zack Makovsky vs Chad Robichaux- Another non-title affair as bantamweight champ Zak "Fun Size" Makovsky takes on Chad Robichaux. Fun Size is coming off winning the first ever Bellator bantamweight title. Robichaux undefeated had a 5 year hiatus from the sport but returned in 2009 and has won 3 in a row since then.

Predicition Makovsky Decision- Makovsky is too well rounded for Robichaux and will be able to defend any submissions Robichaux may have for him.

Featherweight Tournament Semi Final
Daniel Straus vs Kenny Foster- Straus winner of 11 straight takes on Foster coming off his win over Erik Larkin who many thought was an upset. Winner will go on to the Bellator Featherweight Final

Prediction Straus TKO 2nd Round- Pretty even fight to pick going into this one but I'll say Straus is the aggressor and pulls out the TKO win

Featherweight Tourny Semi Final
Patricio Freire vs Wilson Reis- Rematch from their May 2010 bout where Freire won in a decision. We should expect another competitive match this time around as both competitors have looked impressive in their first round matches both having finished their opponents. Reis was at one time considered one of the rising stars in the featherweight division but Freire is the favorite in this one.

Prediction Freire TKO 2 round- Patricio gets one step closer to avenging his lose to Joe Warren last season.
