As we do with every event, the writers of Last Word on Sports MMA have predicted who they think will win each fight on the main card of Bellator 138: Unfinished Business.
In an unusual occurrence, every writer picked the exact same fighter to win on the main card, besides the main event.
Bellator 138 does feature a lot of one-sided bouts, with writers unanimously picking Patricio Freire over Daniel Weichel, Michael Chandler over Derek Campos, Daniel Straus over Henry Corrales and Bobby Lashley over Dan Charles.
The main event between Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock is easily the most anticipated fight on the card due to both the high profiles of both fighters, as well the competitiveness of the fight.
Our staff was pretty split on who would win the fight, with Kimbo Slice getting the slight edge as the favorite.
Here are the LWOS picks for Kimbo Slice vs. Ken Shamrock:
Out of the eight writers that took part in the predictions, five have chosen Kimbo Slice to defeat Ken Shamrock. Most of our writers were torn between the two fighters, knowing that Shamrock has better fighting credentials and more experience.
Kimbo Slice does have the advantage when it comes to age and weight. Kimbo Slice has seemed more passionate going into the fight, as though winning this fight means a lot to him, while it looks like Shamrock could be in it for the wrong reasons, such as an easy paycheck.
