Want to see if Belcher is back on track after being out so long with that detached retina. If his vision didn't return fully that could be a huge problem. It's one thing being a deaf fighter in the UFC, being blind isn't something you can overcome for MMA.
Other than his shaky weight cutting UFC debut, he's just too good not to bet on here. Not to good to watch though, tough to watch, but if he ain't getting KO'd by Hendo, he ain't getting KO'd by Ellenberger. Check out the first round of Ellenberger/ De Rochas to see what happens when an elite grappler(Shields) is on the mat with Ellenberger.
