Bellator April 15th: Hopefully it doesn't get pre-empted by Stanford women's softball

Local Feature Fight Card:
Jeff Curran vs. Bryan Goldsby
Felice Herrig vs. Jessica Rakoczy
Louis Taylor vs. Ryan Sturdy
Daniel Strauss vs. Jonatas Novaes

Televised Tournament Bouts:
Ben Askren vs. Ryan Thomas
Shad Lierley vs.Wilson Reis
Mike Ricci vs. Pat Curran
Patricio “Pitbull” Freire vs. William Romero


Just a few quips about the fights

I like Curran vs Goldsby. Curran will outbox him but will have to deal with Goldsby quickness. It's a nice resume builder for both men.

Notable that former boxer Jessica Rakoczy is fighting. Throw both of the fighter's records out as they both have sub .500 records. This will Rakoczy's change to get his first win in MMA. She's a great boxer, but has had zero success in MMA so far.

We finally get to see Ben Askren in a bigger promotion against a very experienced Ryan Thomas. Thomas, who went 0-2 in the UFC and is going for his second win a row after his UFC stint.

Wilson Reis gets another shot at Featherweight glory this year and it starts against Shad Lierley. He should get the win.

Mike Ricci comes in with a lot hype coming out of GSP's camp in Montreal.

Those are my thoughts and I'm sticking to them
