Bellator returns to London this week with a key welterweight rematch at the top of the bill.
Bellator 267 takes place Friday at The SSE Arena, Wembley in London. The main card airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.
(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)
In the main event, former welterweight champion [autotag]Douglas Lima[/autotag] (32-9 MMA, 14-5 BMMA) meets [autotag]Michael Page[/autotag] (19-1 MMA, 15-1 BMMA) in a rematch. Lima won their first meeting in 2019 in the grand prix semifinals and went on to reclaim the title. The fight nearly is a pick’em at Tipico, where Page has a slight -115 edge to -110 for Lima. And Page has the slightest possible edge in the picks from our 13 editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers, as well, at 7-6.
In the co-feature, [autotag]Leah McCourt[/autotag] (5-1 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) takes on [autotag]Jessica Borga[/autotag] (3-3 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) in a women’s featherweight bout. McCourt is the biggest favorite on the entire card at -650 and is one of three unanimous picks at 13-0 from our staff members.
Also on the main card, [autotag]Robert Whiteford[/autotag] (16-4 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) meets [autotag]Andrew Fisher[/autotag] (18-8-1 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) in a featherweight bout. Whiteford is a -270 favorite and our second unanimous pick.
Our third unanimous pick is at light heavyweight. [autotag]Luke Trainer[/autotag] (4-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) is the card’s second biggest favorite at -475 and has a 13-0 shutout in the picks against [autotag]Yannick Bahati[/autotag] (9-5 MMA, 1-1 BMMA).
And to open the main card, [autotag]Yves Landu[/autotag] (16-8 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) takes on [autotag]Tim Wilde[/autotag] (13-4 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) at lightweight. Wilde is at -220 favorite, but our pickers are going with Landu at a 9-4 clip.
In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Page (52 percent), McCourt (69 percent), Whiteford (84 percent), Trainer (82 percent) and Wilde (56 percent) are the choices.
