Bellator is back in London this week with one of its superstars atop the bill.
Bellator Europe 6 takes place Saturday at The SSE Arena, Wembley in London. The card streams on MMA Junkie.
(Click here to open a PDF of the staff picks grid in a separate window.)
In the main event, [autotag]Michael Page[/autotag] (15-1 MMA, 11-1 BMMA) takes on short-notice replacement [autotag]Giovanni Melillo[/autotag] (13-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in a welterweight bout. Page is a massive favorite of as much as 22-1 at one sports book, and to no surprise, 12 of our 13 MMA Junkie editors, writers, radio hosts and videographers are picking him to win in front of his home fans.
In the middleweight co-main event, [autotag]Fabian Edwards[/autotag] (8-0 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) is more than a 3-1 favorite against [autotag]Mike Shipman[/autotag] (13-2 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) in a fight that saw bad blood boil to the surface at the weigh-ins. Only one of our pickers is taking Shipman in an upset.
And to open the main card, [autotag]Soren Bak[/autotag] (13-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) takes on [autotag]Terry Brazier[/autotag] (11-2 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) in a lightweight fight that is a close one with the oddsmakers. Bak is just a slight favorite, but our pickers are taking him at a heavy 11-2 clip.
In the MMA Junkie reader consensus picks, Page (94%), Edwards (73 percent) and Bak (77 percent) are the choices.
Check out all the picks above.
