John Salter vs Chidi Njokuani features a fighter coming back from a layoff in Njokuani, who last fought at Bellator 189 and beat Hisaki Kato back in 2017. Salter took a loss his last time out as Rafael Lovato Jr. delivered a third-round submission. Both of these fighters come in at 5-1 in Bellator — but they are a contrast in styles. Njokuani is a solid stand-up fighter, and his only loss came when he was outgrappled by Andrey Koreshkov. Salter is another strong grappler. When he lost to Lovato, he couldn’t bring that grappling game to the fore, as Lovato is even better on the ground game. Lovato was able to choke Salter into submission, but Njokuani does not have similar ground skills. Salter has taken down some solid strikers, most notably Dustin Jacoby. I think Njokuani gets the early points before Salter brings the fight to the ground. Bellator 210 Prediction: Salter wins via submission David Rickels vs Guilherme Vasconcelos gives us a Bellator veteran with a solid resume in Rickels, but he comes in off a loss to Michael Page at Bellator 200. “Bomba” Vasconcelos picked up a win in Bellator 192 over Ivan Castillo, delivering a submission. “Bomba” has had a fairly lengthy break since January, but he had to deal with a minor injury after Bellator 192. His strength is his grappling, although he has developed a considerable reputation for his striking as well. “Bomba” is on the better track of the two fighters, and you have to like his versatility against Rickels. Bellator 210 Prediction: Vasconcelos wins via decision Juan Archuleta vs Jeremy Spoon gives us one of the top featherweights in Bellator in Archuleta, who delivered a big knockout win in his last bout against Robbie Peralta, a veteran of UFC. In the wake of that win, Archuleta has climbed to the main card over some of the better featherweights in Bellator. Joe Warren, Goiti Yamauchi and Daniel Weichel are all still waiting to make it to the top card after him. In that fight against Peralta, Archuleta tried to bring some big bombs early but then took the fight to the ground to wear the fight out of Peralta before finishing him in the third round. Jeremy Spoon makes his Bellator debut after losing to Damon Jackson at LFA 40 via submission (rear-naked choke). Before that, though, he had won four in a row, including a unanimous decision over Ran Weathers at SCS 32 back in November 2016. That lengthy layoff before his loss in May left him with some rust, and he’s not likely to shake much off in time for Archuleta. Bellator 210 Prediction: Archuleta wins via knockout
