Both promotions should feel bad for making me watch these

According to Ariel it’ll either be today or tomorrow that Bellator announces their NA tv deal. Said it was “a new player in the space” and something that fans will generally be happy with. Wonder if it’s Netflix as they’ve made strides recently with the RAW deal and Paul/Tyson fight

Another damn near skip-able weekend.

I don't mind Ribas-Rose, but 1) it should be at 115. Neither of these girls are really contenders at 125 if you ask me. 2) I think it has the potential to be pretty 1-sided for Rose. I think she's a much better striker so long as she doesn't do whatever the f*** she did against Carla. On the ground, they are pretty comparable, I'd say.

I get so annoyed reading on sites like Twitter, Discord, etc how so many MMA fans when talking shit on promotions like Bellator, PFL, ONE etc spew bullshit like “this is why you’ll never be the UFC”. There’s plenty to criticize with all these promotions for sure and I do so myself, I just don’t understand why so many people act like they’re on UFC payroll when doing so. They certainly aren’t above criticism with all their scummy business practices

 

[MMC]

Interested to see how this era of Bellator goes in terms of the production and presentation. I will probably try to go to this year's San Diego card if it's any good

 

[CDJ]

Talbott-Saimann is the fight I’m most interested in this weekend

I have money on Talbott. I will also live bet him when he loses round 1.

Really the only fight I care about on that UFC caed

 

[16Skippy]

I thought I heard Slack say Rose isn’t training with Trevor Whitman anymore? Really tempted to put money on Ribas.

 

[Killahpunk]

Nathan Kelly with nice quick finish with the elbow.

 

[Killahpunk]

Better pacing on the Bellator card then the UFC.

Sousa crushes Wilde.

Nice finish for Pitbull, guess he's still got something in the tank

Mo Usman is terrible

 

[CDJ]

Mo Usman is terrible

he thinks he got robbed lol

 

[MMC]

Don't really get the logic behind this debuting undefeated prospect vs debuting undefeated prospect matchmaking but I'm interested in this one

 

[MMC]

He bit him? Lmfao

 

[MMC]

Goddamn those teeth marks lmfao, what a bozo

 

[CDJ]

Don’t get many of those!

 

[End of Line]

Release his ass for that
