Tonight live from the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California, Bellator 193 brings a solid card to the Paramount Network. We have our full Bellator 193 staff picks down below.
The main event sees former top-ranked UFC welterweight Lorenz Larkin looking to get his first win inside the Bellator MMA cage when he takes on Fernando Gonzalez. The co-main event features Bellator mainstay, Saad Awad, as he takes on JJ Ambrose.
The rest of the main card is rounded out with names like Kendall Grove and Steve Kozola.
The WINNER of staff picks will have a chance to receive a custom-made championship belt from ProAmBelts following completion of the 2018 calendar year! The 2017 winner was awarded to Wesley Riddle, compiling a record of 118-74 for main card fights. A visual of the potential-earned belt will be shown in a future staff picks article.
This year, our Bellator staff picks will come into play in part with UFC picks.
