Bellator 217 staff predictions: Who went rogue in our most lopsided picks ever?
Bellator is back in Ireland this week with an event that features our most lopsided staff picks in history.
Three of the four fights on the main card are unanimous picks from our 13 MMAjunkie editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers. And the fourth is a 12-1 choice – with just one picker going against the grain.
Bellator 217 takes place Saturday at 3Arena in Dublin. The main card airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN via tape delay. Prelims stream on MMAjunkie.
(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)
In the main event, Dublin’s own James Gallagher (7-1 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) takes on Steven Graham (6-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in a bantamweight bout. Gallagher will be trying to bounce back from the first loss of his career, and he’s one of our three 13-0 picks.
The lightweight co-feature is where one of our pickers went rogue. Myles Price (10-7 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) takes on Peter Queally (11-4-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in the co-main event, and Queally has a massive 12-1 edge from our staff members.
Also on the main card, Kiefer Crosbie (5-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) is a unanimous pick in his welterweight fight against Daniel Olejniczak (3-2-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), and “TUF” veteran Richie Smullen (3-1-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) is a unanimous nod against Adam Gustab (3-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in their featherweight fight to open the televised portion of the show.
In the MMAjunkie reader consensus picks, Gallagher (72 percent), Queally (80 percent), Crosbie (84 percent) and Smullen (79 percent) are the choices.
Check out all the picks above.
