Bellator 297 Preview & Prediction

Vadim Nemkov (c) vs. Yoel Romero:  In the upcoming championship bout between Vadim Nemkov and Yoel Romero, Romero’s MMA career stands out as one of the most intriguing in history. Despite his elite skills, he has never managed to capture a world title, often falling victim to self-sabotage. At 46 years old, Romero now faces a formidable young champion in Nemkov, who has showcased his strength by conquering formidable opponents on his path to the top.

 Sergio Pettis vs. Patricio Pitbull: Sergio Pettis, the reigning champion, will face off against Patricio Pitbull in a highly anticipated showdown. Pettis comes into the bout with an impressive five-fight winning streak, remaining undefeated in his four Bellator appearances. However, his last fight against Horiguchi raised some concerns as it appeared that Pettis was being dominated before landing a perfect strike to secure the victory. Additionally, considering his time away from the cage, there are legitimate questions about how Pettis will perform on Friday night.

On the other hand, Pitbull also faces uncertainties. He is undertaking a significant weight cut to compete at 135 pounds. Despite not being an overly large featherweight, the timing of this cut, just a month before his 36th birthday, raises eyebrows. While Pitbull successfully made weight at 134.2 pounds, the impact of this weight change on his performance inside the cage remains unknown. ( Prediction by CBSSports, Read more visit.
