In a heavyweight bout, Tyrell Fortune faces Matt Mitrione Friday on the main card of Bellator 262 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Below, we analyze the Bellator 262 Fortune vs. Mitrione odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Fortune took his first professional loss in six tries last time out against Grant Neal at Bellator 259 in May. He lost via submission in Round 1, so he’ll be eager to rebound against the veteran Mitrione.

Mitrione is in the midst of an 0-3-1 skid, losing the past two by way of KO/TKO, with one no contest and a unanimous-decision setback to Ryan Bader at Bellator 207.

Bellator 262 Fortune vs. Mitrione: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Records: Fortune 5-1-0 | Mitrione 13-8-1

Fight result (2-way line or money line)

The 43-year-old Mitrione (+300) is at the end of the line in a mixed martial arts pro career dating back to 2009. After winning his first four fights with the Bellator company, he hasn’t won since Feb. 16, 2018, and he isn’t about to win Friday, either.

Fortune (-375) will cost you a fortune, as you will need to risk nearly four times your potential return. You can’t do that, so PASS on the money line.

Jul. 7—MOHEGAN — Partners Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment and FanDuel Group announced Wednesday they’re poised to roll out retail and online sports betting, online gaming and daily fantasy sports in Connecticut this fall, “pending all licensing and regulatory approvals.”

The partnership will enable bettors throughout the state to place wagers on professional football, basketball, baseball, hockey and other sports via FanDuel, which also will provide online casino gaming under the Mohegan Sun brand and operate daily fantasy sports in Connecticut.

“We’re excited to work with FanDuel, one of the leading sports-tech entertainment companies in the U.S., to bring the brand’s innovative sports betting and iGaming solutions to Mohegan Sun Connecticut,” Ray Pineault, MGE’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Our partnership is a priority for Mohegan Digital, as we look to grow and enhance our casino, sportsbook and online operations in Connecticut — and beyond.”

Mohegan Sun and FanDuel expect to open a temporary sportsbook location at the casino in September and anticipate opening a permanent sportsbook there this winter. The temporary location will feature four live betting windows and 16 self-service betting terminals.

The sportsbook at Mohegan Sun has the potential to become the largest FanDuel sportsbook in the United States, according to Amy Howe, president of FanDuel Group.

“When we combine the retail sports betting experience with the opportunity for online sports betting and iGaming, Connecticut is going to be a key state for us as we look towards the start of football season,” Howe said.

Sports betting, online gaming and daily fantasy sports were authorized in Connecticut by legislation Gov. Ned Lamont signed into law in May.

United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Eastern CT held its graduation ceremony in June for their Project SEARCH graduates who had completed internships this year at the Mohegan Sun. The 2021 graduates are DaWayne Allen, Samantha Cournoyer and Christopher Lee Meola.

Nationally, statistics report that 75% of graduates are hired, often by the businesses that hosted the Project SEARCH Program, which is a national school to work program. Chris and Sam have already been offered and accepted jobs at Mohegan Sun. Samantha will be working in Environmental Services and Chris was hired by Eurest Food Services.

During a beautiful outdoor graduation ceremony at the Sun, where 3 graduates received diplomas, Project SEARCH graduate Chris Lee Meola, shared words of wisdom for future interns in this short video… “To do your best work”.

UCP’s employment programs offer total immersion in the workplace for real-life work experience to help young adults with physical, developmental and intellectual disabilities gain marketable job skills. UCP’s Project SEARCH program at the Mohegan Sun serves two populations: High school students who are on an Individual Education Program (IEP) and entering their last year of high school eligibility; and young adults with disabilities who have DDS support who are between the ages of 18 and 35.

Jennifer Keatley, Executive Director of UCP of Eastern CT, explained what sets UCP’s employment programs apart, “They are different from traditional transition programs — we are completely focused on outcomes tied to the following goals: to help students transitioning from school to work and young adults gain competitive employment in year-round/non-seasonal jobs with prevailing wages.”

This timely program helps fill the gap for the growing problem of worker shortages for CT’s businesses, because these interns are trained and more than ready, willing and able to fill…

The Carnegie Medal is North America’s highest honor for civilian heroism, risking their lives for others in peril.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. —

In December 2019, Jonathan Goldfarb and Matthew Goldfarb risked their lives to save a stranger. Now, the two men are being recognized for their outstanding heroism. 

The afternoon of December 22, 2019, the Fairfield Emergency Communications Center received a 911 phone call. A man had attempted to rescue his dog and was in distress in the waters of Lake Mohegan. 

The male had been walking his dog with his girlfriend when the dog ran onto the ice and fell into the water. The male then ran into the Lake to rescue the dog, but he became submerged multiple times and was having difficulty getting back to shore due to the extreme cold. 

In open water, about 100 feet from shore, he and his dog struggled to stay above the water. 

The man’s girlfriend began to yell for help and entered the water, attempting to assist him.  

At this moment, Jonathan Goldfarb, a physical therapist who resides in Fairfield, and his brother Matthew Goldfarb, a teacher who was visiting his brother from Howell, New Jersey were walking with family in the area and heard the cries for help.  

They ran to the area and found the man in distress in the water.  

The Goldfarbs both entered the water without hesitation, knowing their own safety and lives were at risk.

They grasped the man and his dog and were able to pull them to safety onto dry land.  

Police reported that the man had been in the freezing water, submerged at times, for about 10 minutes. The brothers were only in the water for four. 

Fairfield Police and Fire Department personnel responded and located the rescued man, who was exhibiting signs of severe hypothermia. He was then transported to an…
