Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2018-06-29, pretty good finish between Saad Awad and Ryan Couture but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.
Saad Awad entered this fight with a pro mma record of 22-9-0 (73% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.46 lightweight in the world while his opponent, Ryan Couture (son of former UFC champ Randy Couture), has a record of 11-5-0 (64% finishing rate).

Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2018-04-28, pretty good fight between Fedor Emelianenko and Frank Mir: it gets three stars.
The 41-year-old former Pride, world combat sambo champion and black belt in judo Fedor Emelianenko entered this fight with a professional mma record of 36-5-0 (75% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.53 heavyweight in the world. ‘The Last Emperor’ fought just three times since 2012 beating Singh Jaideep (Fedor Emelianenko vs Singh Jaideep) and Fabio Maldonado (mma Fight of the Year candidate, Fedor vs Maldonado) but then he lost to Matt Mitrione in 2017 (Fedor Emelianenko vs Matt Mitrione).

Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2018-01-20, disappointing fight between Quinton Jackson and Chael Sonnen: it gets two stars.
The former Ufc and Bellator light-Hw tournament (season 10) champion Quinton Rampage Jackson entered this fight with a professional mma record of 37-12-0 (62% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.22 heavyweight in the world but he comes off the loss against Muhammed King Mo Lawal in their rematch (=Rampage vs Lawal II) while in their first fight, in 2014, Jackson had beat Lawal (=Rampage vs Lawal I). After this bout he had won over Fabio Maldonado in 2015 (=Jackson vs Maldonado) and Satoshi Ishii in 2016 (=Jackson vs Ishii).

Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2018-01-20, fight not particularly good between Rory MacDonald and Douglas Lima: it gets two stars.
The black belt in Bjj and current Bellator Ww champion Douglas Lima entered this fight with a pro mma record of 29-6-0 (83% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.8 welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Tyron Woodley). He lost to Andrey Koreshkov in their first fight in 2015 (=Lima vs Koreshkov I) but then he has won three fights beating Paul Daley (=Daley vs Lima), taking revenge on Koreshkov (=Koreshkov vs Lima 2) and defeating Lorenz Larkin (=Lima vs Larkin).
His opponent, Rory MacDonald (black belt in Bjj as well), has an official record of 19-4-0 (74% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.13 in the same weight class. He lost two consecutive bouts between 2015 and 2016, against Robbie Lawler (=Lawler vs MacDonald 2) and Stephen Thompson (=MacDonald vs Thompson), but he came back to win in 2017 with Paul Daley (=MacDonald vs Daley). Lima vs MacDonald, main event of Bellator 192, is valid for the Bellator welterweight title (Lima’s second defense); they also faced each other a second time on October 26, 2019 (Rory MacDonald vs Douglas Lima 2).
