Elsalvajeloco Posted April 28, 2019 Author Share Posted April 28, 2019 3 hours ago, Setsuna said: Really awkward ending to that Bellator show. Rory and Fitch go to a majority draw with (48-46 Fitch, 47-47 X 2 ) so Rory advances because he's the champion. To be clear, I'm fine with that rule because they did need to add some sort of championship clause in a tournament to deal with draws. However, Rory sounds one foot out the fight game door in the post fight interview, stating God has a plan and he's not sure he has the drive to hurt people anymore. BJM plows ahead anyway, hyping the Neiman Gracie fight while Rory sounds uncommitted going forward. Just weird all around. Didn't watch the show but I saw a few people say the exact same things on Twitter. That begs the question why you would commit having the next round so close. PFL can do that because they have guys who don't really make all that much so there is incentive to fight ASAP after already having an abbreviated camp for your prior fight. What Rory said doesn't sound like a fighter ready to get back in the gym on Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Can I just say how happy I get seeing Mike Kendall every Friday, grinning his ass off? He looks like he's got the best job in the world, happy to be flanked by pretty women, ready to watch some people get their asses beat, then fly back to his Akron homebase where he presides over meetings of the Satanic Temple. I wanna have many drinks with that dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) In terms of absolutely bonkers finishes-per-minute, Bellator just put on the greatest main card of all time. Edited May 4, 2019 by John E. Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellator tried to put an 0-12 (10 losses as an amateur) IG model who moonlights as a fighter against hot taekwondo lady for her debut before Mike Mazzulli stepped in and said no fucking way. They're not above Swagger fighting character actor Paul Walter Hauser. Edited May 9, 2019 by Elsalvajeloco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since WWE has Lashley, Swagger is the new Lashley. He's not going to fight anyone good (or anyone who remotely looks good). Based on who makes up the Bellator heavyweight division, it's not like he would be forced to. I'm watching the PFL prelims on ESPN+, and Lillian trying her best to break her WWE habits to do MMA intros and reading official decisions is sorta surreal I must admit.

Setsuna Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) That was a wild ending and an ugly KO. Queue a million LOL MVP threads on every other mma forum on the internet. Outside of this board, I hate the vast majority of the internet mma fans. I was hoping Bellator would end before the Aldo fight but looks like I'm going to be multi-screening these two fights. Edit : nvm, Pitbull finishes it early. Did not expect that. Edited May 12, 2019 by Setsuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA484 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) I'll go ahead and say LOL MVP. You can't use a stance like that and expect to effectively defend leg kicks, let alone get back to your feet without any apparent awareness that your opponent can slug you, either. He could get away with that sort of thing against most of his other opponents but not against a guy who is better than your average UFC fighter, to say nothing about Bellator.

If you like kickboxing, the co-main and all of the quarterfinal tournament fights were good with some surprises. If you're not a huge fan of kickboxing, definitely take the time to watch Yod vs. Sana at least. For MMA, definitely check out Saygid vs. Khan as it was the semi-finals of their LW GP and Tonon's fight on the undercard. Dej vs. Miao was a slugfest too. 23 hours ago, Elsalvajeloco said: Also, Shinya Aoki got pasted by Christian Lee. It was a bit of an early stoppage but Aoki didin't complain and he's got a history of wilting to strikes. Lee got out of an early armbar attempt that looked tight so it wasn't like he just walked through Shinya. Odd match-up to make as Lee was coming up in weight and was basically gifted the shot. I'm not sure if that was more about One gifting the Lee family with high profile fights, everyone else tied up in the GP or a combination of both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
