Final Mads Burnell-Daniel Weichel Prediction & Pick
This should be a fun scrap between two contenders in Bellator's featherweight division. Daniel Weichel has been around the block for quite some time as he's been fighting professionally for 21 years and he is now 38 years old and is the oldest fighter in the featherweight division. He will have to match the same pace and tenacity that the younger Mads Burnell will put out there in this matchup. Burnell has showed great cardio during his time fighting for Bellator and he has the ability to push a hard pace against anyone staying across from him which will be a big factor coming into this fight.
Ultimately, Burnell is going to do what he does best and that is to be the aggressor, push the pace, and take Weichel down to the mat to wear him down and grind him into the mat meanwhile, Weichel will have to do his best to be on his bike and stay at distance but that is easier said than done and Burnell just outworks Weich for the unanimous decision victory.
Final Mads Burnell-Daniel Weichel Prediction & Pick: Mads Burnell (-270)
