This weekend Bellator kicks off their heavyweight tournament at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind. The field is headlined by a grudge match between Eric Prindle and Thiago Santos. With only a few hours until fight time, there is a still a chance the contest will not happen. Also, this week Mann Talk debuts some useless MMA math, because heavyweight MMA calls for ridiculousness.
It has been a long time since Mann Talk broke down a card, but as always the column hopes to preview each and every card. It probably will not happen, but we can all hope. Bellator 71 features the first round of the “Summer Series” light heavyweight tournament and the Bellator debut of former Kimbo Slice antagonist Brett Rogers.
