As long as the free bet isn't expired and you made a bet out of it, the bet is live no matter when the expiry date for the free bet is.  So yeah...  I was looking around shopping for lines for my free bet and saw Volkanovski vs Rodriguez which going to be a week after this weekend's event.  Rodriguez at 4.00 seems like a good deal so I took it.  I'd imagine it to be around 3.10 - 3.20, maybe less even, on fight day.

As for Romero, yeah..  Would've wasted it on him.  But I do think he could make it really close.

Of course Romero is faster than Fedor, he is a middleweight, while Fedor is a heavyweight (however Fedor was always one of the fastest heavyweights). If they meet now, not 100% sure if Romero would win. They both old and wont be able to hold punch as used to. In such situation, heavy hitter Fedor will be my favorite. Same applies to Romero vs Nemkov. 46 y.o guy isnt able to hold younger and hungry opponent. If that would be a street fight, that Romero has advantage, but against a pro fighter, specially on a level Nemkov is, I would say there are zero chances to win 

Well, I really don't support Yoel Romero on this aswell and just like you I really think that Vadim Nemkov will win this I am just saying that Vadim Nemkov will have a hardtime against Yoel Romero because of these facts about Romero, Vadim Nemkov doesn't really have that level of wrestling yet on par with Khabib Nurmagomedov in my opinion and Yoel Romero also has that fight IQ that he can use against Nemkov for sure and I don't really want to underestimate Yoel Romero because of that takedown defense would surely be crucial in his part,


When I hear this kind of story I was really amazed by it and hearing the story of Yoel Romero in my thoughts he was kind of like Wolverine in healing rapidly but in this situation, it was his bones that are healing fast well as his unusual Skeletal frame and thickness within than bone body of him makes him a real one of a kind fighter but sad to say that he was already 46 years old and with his age we can say that we are already past his prime or maybe near the ending of his prime, just like what happen to Fedor Emelianenko he is already 46 years old and he is now slow on his feet to be beaten by a 40 years old Ryan Bader,

But I got to note if we make a comparison between Yoel Romero and Fedor Emelianenko they are both 46 years old but still the movement of Yoel Romero is still faster than Emelianenko, I think if these two clash for sure Yoel Romero will win, now Fedor is the mentor of Vadim Nemkov pretty much I think that Nemkov could see Romero as a mentor aswell,

He won his last two fights against Manhoef and Polizzi so I guess he deserved it, but Bellator dont have big selection in this category.
It is either Romero, Corey Anderson or Phil Davis as challengers.

Can you place a free bet if it expires before the date when this fight is starting?
This whole Bellator fight card in available early on Sportsbet but I think your bet on Romero would be wasted.
He has minimal fighting chance to win against Nemkov who is in top form and one of the best Light Heavyweight fighters in the world.
Nemkov has a reach advantage and he is 16 years younger, so only chance for Romero is some surprise KO punch.

I'm not really familiar with most of the match ups except for the main event, the co main and the Anderson vs Davis match up.  I think if Yoel Romero shows up like he was when he fought Robert Whittaker, he could make the fight really close.  Nemkov's TD defense improved as shown in the second fight vs Corey Anderson but Romero's wrestling is on another level.  He could be a problem imho.  Let's see if his cardio holds up tho.  Like you said, he's already 46. 

I should've bet my Sportsbet free bet on Romero instead of Rodriguez. 

There is a story about his Romero youth. I dont remember it for 100%, but during wrestling training or sparring he has cracked his neck or spine. A normal person would stay paralyzed below neck forever, but Romero continued training, and only they, when he felt pain, he consulted doctors. Thanks to huge neck and trapezoid muscles, he did not get any real injury.

Check out this huge scar on the back of his neck. He is really one of kind fighter.

Yoel Romero does have a strong, tough and resilient body, that's why other fighters who have fought him say that he is like a human made of metal, but at least as he gets older his physical strength, breathing and stamina will definitely decrease and this is what makes him It was easier for Vadim Nemkov to beat Yoel Romero.
Anyone who has fought him in the UFC will know what it's like to fight him but all of that happened when he was still in the UFC and had great stamina, not now.

In fact, Yoel Romero himself has lost up to 6 times and this is quite a lot of defeats out of 21 fights.
He's a grandfather now and I can't hope to support him in his triumph.

It was really an interesting fight for sure Vadim Nemkov is the favorite to win while Yoel Romero is an underdog but also could take the upset for this fight actually even though the odds are likely high Nemkov is 1.25 and Romero is at 3.55 right now, there are still quality in getting a bet for Yoel Romero, and I would like to see that fight for sure,

And for sure Sergio Pettis and Patricio Pitbull is one of interesting fights for me aswell and I will surely make my prediction with this in the coming days nearing the fight,


I really don't know if the following report on Yoel Romero is true, but this could also be a factor why Romero has solid durability the doctor has said that Romero has an unusual bone structure his bones in the head read is kind of dense than a usual normal person, it means it is thicker than the average human, and it is healing itself just like wolverine, by the time he gets back his orbital bone heals itself,

But I really don't know if this is all true, I just happen to see all of this and right now I really want to confirm it with your guys, this is really amazing about Yoel Romero, if he has a solid bone structure then it is not normal for him to really compete,

^ Romero finds way to Bellator and get a title shot at 46. That itself is unusual.
But true. If the doctors says it, he must be a mutant. He fought against top dogs but he was only KO once over his UFC career. As must as I'd like a mutant to win, it could be different this time since Nemkov is a much younger fighter with KO hands.

Pitbull would also come out as the winner against Pettis, probably by UD.

This looks like a great Bellator event, maybe one of the best they had in months.
It is always interesting to watch Yoel Romero fight, despite his old age he looks to be in amazing shape for 46 years old fighter.
I am giving advantage to Nemkov and I think he is going to win, but it could be a good idea to put few satoshis on big underdog like Romero.

Co-main event Sergio Pettis vs Patricio Pitbull is worth watching and even prelim fights should not be missed.
Pettis is doing great since he came to Bellator but my bet is on favorite Pitbull.

For me, Yoel Romero is not an easy take for Vadim Nemkov although I have said that Yoel Romero will have a hard time against Nemkov, for Vadim Nemkov to have an easy win against Yoel Romero in my opinion likely it not going to be an easy one, for Nemkov aswell, Man Yoel Romero is a mutant he was like Wolverine and surely no one will believe me when I say this thing but surely it got evidence on some of the videos's that I have watched here are some

Joe Rogan Experience Podcast 

Many have said or are baffled that his physical body structure was made of metal because Joe Rogan literally said that everyone that has fought him said that they are like hitting metal in the video you can see Robert Whittaker said that when he is punching and kicking him he felt like metal he added up like a dude made out of concrete and it was ridiculous, and Joe Rogan Bluff and laughing by saying that Yoel Romero was also part of the Cuban program well pertaining to the Wolverine Origin,

Doctor Said That Yoel Romeros Body Structure is unusual
Joe Rogan Talks About the Yoel Romero's Unusual Body Structure

Yoel Romero suffers an orbital bone to the face from the jab of UFC fighter Robert Whittaker when the Doctor examined Romero the doctor was in shock and ask the UFC where do you find this guy because he has an unusual body structure,

I also have the same thought that Yoel Romero will find it difficult to beat Vadim Nemkov, the champion belt holder.
After all, Vadim Nemkov is younger, so his physique is much more durable and his performance is stronger. If you look at his battle history, Vadim Nemkov has an advantage with 15 wins and only 2 defeats, very different from Yoel Romero, who has 15 wins but has 6 times defeat.
It's going to be quite an easy fight night for Vadim Nemkov to defend his title and he is heavily favored for this fight.

This is going to be a hard fight for Yoel Romero and for sure Vadim Nemkov will not just let Romero take his belt for him, 1 is Romero is 46 now he will be having a hard time now, I know seeing him he still doesn't have those ring rust coming out but still Nemkov is pretty much well rounded that Striking was the teaching of Fedor Emelianenko, and wrestling to combat sambo was his thing aswell, so for me, if Yoel Romero will be pure striking he better think twice,

Vadim Nemkov - He fought Jiří Procházka back in 2015 but lost to him in the RIZIN stage even though Nemkov lost that fight it was an awesome fight and the hardest fight of Jiri Prochazka's career, it was ended in a fashion where Vadim Nemkov has almost gas out of the fight and he can not stand up anymore,

Yoel Romero - He is a former UFC fighter that has fought Paulo Costa, Robert Whittaker, and Israel Adesanya and lost that fights but won to Chris Barnett, Luke Rockhold, and Chris Weidman, and won those and at the age of 46 he enters Bellator to change his fate, and won 2 consecutive times to secure a fight for the title,

For me, there is a fight and a chance for Yoel Romero to get the Light Heavyweight belt for Bellator and be the oldest 46 years old champion,

I surely want to see Francis Ngannou fight again but not against a boxer, if that would give him a large sum of money why not, we really don't know the IQ level of Francis Ngannou in a boxing fight, and like in the MMA fights he is a striker on his fight in the MMA, and going into it he also knows some ground game, but when it comes to boxing does Ngannou had a chance against that great boxer, surely not, but he still got a slight chance winning against a boxer for sure,


I was shocked about the result Jesus Pinedo  Knocks out Brendan Loughnane and in the 1st round it was really an upset win for Pinedo, he really connected that kick to Brendan Loughnane and I think it is not a lucky knee kick but I guess Jesus Pinedo was really good at knocking down his opponent for me he is a knockout artist and if you look at his previous fights all consecutive wins were all Knockouts, for round 1 to 2 only,

Another fight that I see and was entertained by was the Co-Main event of Movlid Khaybulaev VS Tyler Diamond it was a round 2 win for Movlid Khaybulaev via Submission of Arm triangle choke

That will be an amazing deal for the PFL and the UFC, if this is true, well I haven't seen any news about it, but I will love to see that but I though that Larissa Pacheco is the champion now, so I think Larissa Pacheco VS Amanda Nunes, but let's wait for further announcement if this really will take for, or what,


This fight was an upset for Brendan Loughnane because he lost to Jesus Pinedo it was a fast kick but the knee landed on the head of Loughnane, which causes him to fall slowly then Jesus Pinedo made a follow-up hammer fist that KO/TKO Brendan Loughnane, it was a fast round 1 upset, and it was really crazy,


I also love to see Francis Ngannou fight aswell, but it will surely take time, and the Tyson Fury fight will surely take time aswell because of so many legalities, and negotiations that are happening right now

Well Dana White seems interested in everything about Francis Ngannou and the PFL, and he wants the spotlight aswell, that is why he is making negotiations with Tyson Fury aswell, a something collaboration with the PFL, if that could happen, it all connects to that he really wants something,

I cant wait to see him fight again in octagon, but I would be very happy to see him against Tyson Fury first, but Deontay Wilder is also offering to box.
During this time I think Dana White is going to try and do everything to destroy Ngannou reputation and PFL, he already started his dark campaign.

I see some ex UFC fighters here, Bojan Velickovic started great in UFC but then he lost several fights, than he did the same in PFL, so I think Oktagon is much lower league level.

the lineup for the oktagon 44 event is now fixed. the highlight of the evening is the fight of two fighters from the top 100 in the world for the interim light heavyweight title. the silent slovakian executioner Pavol Langer will fight the fight of his life after his victory over Xavier against the brutal, iron munich and number 90 in the world rankings "ironside" Alexander Poppeck.

Definitely, he will fight in a different PFL super fight Division where this division provides a 50% revenue split for fighters while in the Regular Season, this is just the old regular play for most fighters, but sure enough that Super Fight division will start next year and will debut on Francis Ngannou's fight,

Now here are my full pick for PFL 4 - Regular Season, not my full bet just my full picks, however, will just be picking some fights for my bet, highlighted in green are my picks

Oh I didnt watch the fights live but it was a knockout fest and I didnt expect to see Pudzianowski losing like this, maybe he is getting old for this sport.
With 46 years this is his second defeat in a row and time for him to think about retirement very soon.

I think Ngannou will fight in different super league, not regular season.
This fight card looks interesting, I want to see comain event Tyler Diamond vs Movlid Khaybulaev and Bubba Jenkins vs Sung Bin Jo.
PFL is looking better with every new event, and I see Dana White is so pissed that he mentions PFL all the time
