smitlick Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I've paid so little attention to Bellator lately and actually thought the Kimbo fight had happened already.
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Even though there is probably not as big of a crossover between the audiences, Bellator still definitely needs the NBA Finals to end tomorrow night. I originally thought GM 7 would be on Thursday, and it turns out it would be on Friday night head-to-head with Bellator 138.
hammerva Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I thought the Shamrock fight was depressing then I saw the "Finally" special and that was much more depressing. Kimbo is fine given that it is him but Shamrock is training this fight like a homeless person. Hell he may actually be homeless living in a van in a parking lot. The story behind the first fight was pretty great although I have no idea how much is true. People speculating that Ken got out of the fight by blading is something.
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Gotta love Patricio Freire's take on the fight: "They're old and I'm not going to watch." That's a ringing endorsement if I ever saw one. 1
Hail Sabin Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Will record this show since I'll be watching the ROH PPV Live.
Jiji Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 That was ridiculous. Those wild momentum swings are what make combat sports so great. Let's call it a night after that. 1

Jiji Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 LOL, fucking Road Warrior Animal up in this mug! This is so greasy.
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Road Warrior Animal? Shocked Kimbo didn't counter with the Nasty Boys.
Jiji Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 FIGHT OF THE YEAR! DID YOU SEE THAT SUB DEFENSE?! He waited until Ken tired himself out and then nudged him.
hammerva Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 While that was a pretty hard shot on Shamrock, I am convinced that McCarthy used the "Hes fallen and he can't get up" logic when stopping that fight. Oh well I am sure Bellator will have Ken fights someone in another 5 years 1

hammerva Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 When they showed Royce Gracie in the crowd I joked that the next show was going to be him vs the guy who wore the one boxing glove. But as much of a trainwreck as it was it probably going to get a good rating. Well good by Spike's standards The other highlight is announcing that Phil Davis is going to be in a 4 way tournament and then nobody could find him to get on stage
Scizzy Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Someone pointed out that Ken and Herschel Walker are roughly the same age...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Ken's body is actually 163 years old though. So there is that.
DreamBroken Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Road Warrior Animal showing up was the best. Epic entrance. Was rooting for Shamrock to get one last win and thought he might pull it off with the choke. Awesome KO by Patricio.
Zero Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Can't even lie, the most fun I've had watching a MMA event this year, and maybe the last few years.
Hail Sabin Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah it was very fun the co main event and main event both delivered in what type of fights they were suppose to be. The Co main event reminded me of Kennedy vs. Romero without Romero's corner cheating to give him more time to recover.
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I don't know. Laugh all you want, that fight looked fixed to me. How the fuck does Ken Shamrock have a guy locked deep in a choke and 1. not finish him and 2. let go of it. Then he takes one shot, stumbles to the ground and Big John steps right in. It looked like Vince McMahon booking an MMA match. I was waiting for the ref to pick up and drop Kimbo's arm three times.
Jiji Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 To be fair to Ken, it was a really good shot square on his forehead that put him down. There was a cut (OMG, he bladed again!) and a rather gruesome looking dent where the punch landed.
Ace Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 What's Tank Abbott up to these days? Somewhere getting piss drunk in Huntington Beach. Basically, what he has been doing for the last 15 years. More like 30. Strange thing is, I'll still run into him doing some roadwork on Sundays.
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 What's Tank Abbott up to these days? Somewhere getting piss drunk in Huntington Beach. Basically, what he has been doing for the last 15 years. More like 30. Strange thing is, I'll still run into him doing some roadwork on Sundays. Hey, I gave him some credit for being a part of 3 Count. To be fair to Ken, it was a really good shot square on his forehead that put him down. There was a cut (OMG, he bladed again!) and a rather gruesome looking dent where the punch landed. Ken also can't take a punch or anything to the face. He got stopped easily by Buzz Berry, and that was like seven or eight years ago. He hasn't been decent at MMA for well over a decade now. In order for this fight to have happened, it had to be a lax commission like Missouri or some ungodly place where the whole fighter safety thing is not a big priority. Ken shouldn't have been in the cage with Rich Franklin and Tito the second and third time. That was ten years ago. Plus, Ken was fighting a man who had a thirty pound functional weight advantage over him. A regular sized welterweight could have folded him up with a good punch. So yeah, a guy who is 60 pounds heavier is going to bulldoze him.
