Hail Sabin Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 2nd fight was the best fight I saw of the night and Warren Fucked Wrestled Davis in the main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 opening title fight was fun and the heavyweight fight was bloody. Fitch vs. Okami was as expected. 8 man one night tournament in November will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 1st round was 10-8 for Halsey then a liver shot in the 2nd Carvalho new champ and a hell of a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yep they still have the Micheal Page train going. Speaking of Bellator turns out in the next 7 weeks they have 3 different shows in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 They got to give Page someone at least halfway decent. There has got to be one of those Bjorn era tournament welterweights or ex-middleweights still around that can take a beating. It's just weird watching him fight dudes who aren't even Bellator worthy let alone television fight worthy. They're not helping him learn any new skills that he can actually utilize going forward.

Hail Sabin Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think their main concern is him losing so feeding him Tomato cans until a big fight they have planned for next year then see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think their main concern is him losing so feeding him Tomato cans until a big fight they have planned for next year then see how it goes.  It's not like what happened with Schilling and Kato. Schilling should be doing Glory and that's it. A tomato can in Bellator isn't going to do what they fear will happen. It's going to be a real wrestler that can get around his striking. That or a striker who can get in and drop him. That's going to be someone who legitimately can fight and not some guy they just get off the streets like he has been fighting. But that's my argument, going back, is that they can't be afraid that will happen because they need to build up whoever would beat him. That's what they failed to do with Brooks when he beat Chandler. Brooks right now is just some guy instead of this credible LW who beat one of their most notable fighters not once but twice.

Elsalvajeloco Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 The next Glory show (sounds like a one time deal) will be on streaming live on ESPN3.com tomorrow at 4 p.m. EST. Then, it will replay on ESPN2 at 10:30 p.m. PST (1:30 a.m. EST) later on. Looks like a pretty good card too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Not a bad deal if they could get it long term (from a fan perspective). I may watch it while at work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Not a bad deal if they could get it long term (from a fan perspective). I may watch it while at work tomorrow.  I think one of the problems (and probably what's keeping them alive based on what I've heard) is that they're doing shows in Europe. It's going to be hard to find a visible network when a good portion of their events are overseas. I think it would be different if kickboxing had a giant international following. However, kickboxing is still a super niche sport in most markets without a ton of recognizable stars. I think it would be a good replacement for Friday Night Fights since the PBC does their ESPN show on different days. I don't think they would mind being delayed by tennis, racing, and college basketball every and now then as long as it's still on ESPN2 in primetime.  However, if you're doing shows in Europe when everyone is still at work in the U.S., it limits the number of options of potential broadcast partners. That is unless they pick and choose which shows will be aired. Then, that would hurt the development of any potential stars stateside because there is a good chance you're not going to see them everytime out. Otherwise, they would be limited to channels like AWE and AXS TV. That would be okay if it was a small, regional promotion. However, Glory is (or was) paying their guys real coin. For a company that might be in financial trouble, that would not be the ideal situation.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Girtz knockout was nasty but Manhoef's was nastier plus the 4 mins the fight lasted was really good. Now on to watch WSOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Tournament was fun I figured Foster or Palomino would win the whole thing, Foster's title shot should be very fun when it happens next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Good for Brian Foster, though I hope his head injury issues are doing OK now. Â Or am I forgetting that's why he was sort of let go from the UFC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Pretty sure that was the only reason. He was coming off a win at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) I was just going to say! And Josh Copeland just got played to the cage by a choir of Russians in full military regalia singing Smells Like Teen Spirit (two lead singers and the rest of them awkwardly hummed along with the melody). Must see TV. Â Edit: forgot to mention the main event features Rasul Mirzaev, who was convicted of negligent manslaughter! RUSSIAN MMA!
