Lee Chadwick +280
And here are my first thoughts on the Bellator Newcastle opening lines:
Like many Bellator cards, this one is filled with big favorites. The majority of them need to win, such as Pitbull in the primary event against Scope. The big different here is clearly the expertise and level of competition faced. Pitbull has been one of the best lightweights in Bellator for decades (and probably one of the most underrated lightweights in the game ) while Scope is a Bellator newcomer who hasn’t fought anyone of note, save to get a split decision win over former UFC fighter Mickel Lebout in his last bout. Scope has actually been involved in the game as a teen, but has never really made it big, whilst Pitbull is still one of the best lightweights in Bellator. I expect Pitbull to get his hand raised and he will be a favorite parlay bit amongst bettors.
I’m not entirely sold on Chalmers and that I would not be shocked when Browning pulled off yet another upset. Chalmers has four first-round finishes, however, the former reality TV star in England has been receiving simple matchups by the matchmakers. Browning wasn’t supposed to be aggressive against Baby Slice within his Bellator debut, but he ended up finishing Kevin Ferguson Jr. by knockout in one of the biggest upsets of 2018 in MMA. I think Browning is probably a bit better than many of us think he is, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he’s the angry here. As far as I am concerned, this can be a dog-or-pass circumstance.
Brazier is making his Bellator with a ton of hype as a former BAMMA champion. He has won his last nine fights and has not tasted defeat since a 2015 knockout loss which was his sole livelihood defeat. Bungard has a decent quantity of expertise on the European regional circuit and is an adequate gatekeeper type of fighter, but that is obviously Bellator looking to match up Brazier using a man who he can beat in his promotional introduction. Like Pitbull, I anticipate Brazier to acquire this fight handily and expect him to be a popular parlay piece too.
Much like Pitbull and Brazier, Edwards looks like he will be a favorite chalk piece too. The brother of this UFC’s Leon is just 5-0 and he is only 25, meaning he’s a bright MMA career ahead of him. Chadwick is a veteran of 40 battles and has fought many of England’s top boxers, but he’s been finished twice, including four knockout losses, and this seems like another struggle where the heavy favorite should glow. I’d definitely keep your eye out for the Edwards inside the space props, but he is another guy to think about putting to a Bellator chalk parlay.
