The Bloody Elbow staff has made its picks for tomorrow night’s Bellator 208 card in New York, and most of us are going with Fedor Emelianenko to best Chael Sonnen and advance to the heavyweight tournament final. Only Phil Mackenzie and Stephie Haynes are going with Sonnen to topple “The Last Emperor.” As for the co-main event, Stephie and Nick Baldwin are picking Saad Awad to upset Benson Henderson.
