Brent Primus (8-1) vs Tim Wilde (12-3)

Now, this fight gives us an American in Primus who fights from Oregon and only has one defeat. He debuted in the pro MMA ranks in September 2010 and put together a streak of eight wins, including six straight wins in Bellator. He beat Michael Chandler to take the Bellator Lightweight belt — but then Chandler took the belt back in a rematch. Primus is looking to start another winning streak so that he can work his way back to the belt again. He likes to fight straight ahead and use his striking power to bull his way to wins. Wilde is making his Bellator debut against Primus and trains in Cannock, in the UK, so he is expecting some significant support from the crowd in Birmingham. Before fighting with Bellator, Wilde had fought with Golden Ticket Fight Promotions and comes into his debut with a three-fight winning streak. Of Wilde’s 12 career victories, six of them have come via knockout, so he also brings some big striking power into the cage.

Fabian Edwards (6-0) vs Falco Neto (11-9)

How about this fight? This one gives us the brother of a UFC contender in Edwards, as Leon Edwards is making his name in the Octagon as well. Falco Neto is a tough Portuguese contender, but Edwards is anticipated to take the win.

Derek Campos (19-8) vs Pedro Carvalho (9-3)

This one pits a regular on the American Bellator circuit in Campos against a challenger from Portugal in CArvalho. Carvalho has won four fights in a row, while Campos has dropped two straight. Campos could use the charge that a win would bring to bump him back onto the mainstream circuit.

Saul Rogers (12-2) vs Aiden Lee (7-3)

Another bout that gives us Rogers’ Bellator debut. He was scheduled to take part in the last episode of Ultimate Fighter Season 22 but had to wait, and now he takes on Lee in his first bout in the promotion.

James Mulheron (11-3) vs Lee Chadwick (24-14-1)

A bout that will feature Mulheron’s second Bellator bout, and he looks to rebound from a tough loss in his Newcastle debut.
