Combate Global picks for Bartholomew vs. Bandejas
Before you tune in to Friday’s fight card, you need to see the picks from SportsLine’s MMA insider Ian Parker. He is banking on the fact that quality of past competition will provide a big edge to Bandejas in the main event.
Bandejas’ last seven fights have come in Bellator, and though he dropped his last two, he still should translate well to the Combate stage. Prior to his two-fight losing streak, Bandejas had won two straight in Bellator — knocking off Frans Miambo with a left hook in Round 2 of a 2020 fight. He used a right hook to end a 2019 fight against Ahmet Kayretli in the first round.
Bartholomew has dropped two straight in CFFC via unanimous decision and Parker sees this fight belonging to the more experienced Bandejas.
“Bandejas has fought the much higher level of competition over his career and will be able to control the narrative of this fight wherever it ends up,” Parker told SportsLine.
