Bellator 170 Betting Picks, Predictions and Tips

We’ve now made a profit every single month for the last 6 months and we’re 9-1 on the last 10 MMA events. The next few months look great for betting on MMA and I feel very confident that we’re going to make a lot of money between now and the end of the year.

We won’t have any betting picks for Bellator 170’s fight between Chael Sonnen and Tito Ortiz, but there are a couple of good opportunities for making money on some of the other fights.

Betting Tip 1: Hisaki Kato to beat Ralek Gracie

[mpc_divider align=”left” lines_color=”#679f42″ lines_weight=”5″ padding_css=”padding:0px;” margin_divider=”true” margin_css=”margin-bottom:20px;”]

Hisaki Kato has spent the last few years building a name for himself in Bellator, whilst Ralek Gracie has spent the last few years trying to promote his Metamoris BJJ promotion.

It’s well documented that Ralek ran up huge debts trying to keep Metamoris afloat, so we do have to question his motives for returning to MMA 7 years after his last fight. Ralek Gracie has only competed in 1 MMA fight in the last 9 years and Hisaki Kato isn’t the type of guy who is going to give you time to get comfortable in the cage.

Ralek Gracie is in big trouble unless he can get this fight to the ground very quickly and even then he might not be able to hold Kato down for long enough to survive until the end of the 1st round.

Kato is tough, aggressive and carries KO power in every strike. This is an extremely tough fight for Ralek Gracie to take after being absent for 7 years.
