Welcome 6th Rounders, to my picks and predictions for Bellator 42. This fight card will air Saturday night via MTV2. The event will be headlined by light-heavyweights Hale and Linderman squaring off in the cage. A solid line-up calls for solid picks, right? Whether you agree or disagree, leave your thoughts by commenting.

As lead writer here, seems there’s a certain responsibility for making quality peeks into the future. That being said, anything can (and does) happen in mixed martial arts. With an overall 394-249 record thus far since our launch, let’s get into how I see the action inside the cage going down from Oklahoma.
