On the flip side, a $100 wager on Macfarlane at +120 odds returns a profit of $120 with an upset victory on 45.45 percent implied victory odds.

Bellator Mma Fight Odds

Cotton is the -275 (bet $275, win $100) favorite to win this battle against Sumter, who sports a +220 (bet $100, win $220) line as the underdog.

Maurice Jackson vs Grant Neal

The odds are hefty chalk in this matchup, as Neal is the -650 (bet $650, win $100) favorite to come away with a victory over Jackson, whose line is +450 (bet $100, win $450) as the underdog.

By the way, if you’re betting and new to it, there is no value to risking $650 to win $100 here. Pass and find a better line. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Kemran Lachinov vs Shamil Nikaev

The odds get significantly tighter in this matchup, but Nikaev remains the favorite at -225 (bet $225 to win $100) to best Lachinov (+185 — bet $100, win $185).

Anthony Garrett vs Davion Franklin

Franklin enters as the hefty favorite, sporting a -350 (bet $350, win $100) line to win over Garrett in two-way wagers. Garrett, if you’re looking at underdogs, has +260 odds entering Bellator 254. A $100 wager on Garrett returns a profit of $260 with an upset victory.

Kenny Champion vs Cody Law

“I fought the Law” and the Law won is probably a song Champion is trying to avoid this week, as Law enters as the chalky -450 (bet $450, win $100) favorite over Champion, +350 (bet $100, win $350), the underdog.

Billy Goff vs Robson Gracie Jr.

Unfortunately there aren’t any good lyrics that tangle with Goff vs. Gracie Jr., so we should have ended on a high note from The Bobby Fuller Four. Regardless, Gracie Jr. is one of the bigger chalk-picks on the slate at -500 (bet $500, win $100), the heavy favorite over Goff, who enters at +350 (bet $100, win $350).

Bellator MMA was launched in 2008 and has quickly become popular in the mixed martial arts world. The promotion used to be called the Bellator Fighting Championship, but they changed the name recently and now go by the name “Bellator MMA”.

The promotion operates out of Newport Beach, California and the CEO is Bjorn Rebney. Initially Bellator hosted events in the US only, but they’ve since moved to Canada and have started to host regular events in Canada as well as the United States now.

Bellator is a tiny promotion when compared to the UFC currently, but they’ve been doing great. Bellator offers a unique product where fighters compete in tournaments to become the #1 contender and for the chance to fight for the title in their weight class.

There are also other fights on the card at each event, but the main card is often tournament or title fights only. Bellator also has a unique “Season” format unlike other promotions. Each season features a 1+ tournament with eight fighters in the bracket.

Not only does the winner of each Bellator tournament earn a shot at the title, but they earn a $100,000 check. Bellator doesn’t pay fighters nearly as much as the UFC, but with $100K on the line for tournament winners they get the best out of fighters.

Bellator has started to receive more attention this past year due to a new deal with Spike. Bellator became popular after they were able to sign a national broadcasting deal with MTV2 in 2011. Seasons 4-7 of Bellator were aired live on MTV2.

The new deal with Spike TV is much better for the promotion and the number of viewers should increase. This summer (2013) there is a new reality show called “Fight Master: Bellator MMA”, which is a knockoff of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF).

The reality show will air on Spike TV starting this summer and will bring more attention to Bellator. Bellator has quickly gained a reputation for being a stepping stone to the UFC for fighters that aren’t picked up by the UFC right away.

Young fighters are able to get national attention with Bellator and fight many seasoned veterans. The promotion doesn’t have the talent that the UFC has, but with Viacom owning a majority stake in the company Bellator isn’t short on marketing dollars.

In the past year Bellator has been able to lock-up a lot of young talented fighters in the promotion. The competition in all of the weight classes is increasing and now the tournaments are very competitive where any fighter could come out as the winner.

Bellator is unlikely to ever contend with the UFC, but they do a great job offering a unique product. Many fans like the tourney format that Bellator utilizes although there are also many critics because sometimes the best fighters don’t get title shots.
