GDT: Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. Silva

[m9]

I don't think the UFC is flooding the market, their roster is big and they can pull it off. If they held an event every few months, many fighters will complain about not getting a fight.

I don't know, I just find the Bellator format somewhat refreshing, the way it's set up, fighter entrances, the commentators, it's all pretty cool. I just wish they had a roster that could compete with the UFC.

Not an event every few months for the UFC, just less PPVs.

 

[m9]

The quality of fighting here isn't good. It's horrible, and it's a trainwreck, but one I've enjoyed watching.

True enough.

 

[PB37]

I love Chael, but I'm worried here.

 

[dss97]

Chael's shtick is pretty lame now that he's not a good fighter anymore.

 

[tmurfin]

I am enjoying this PPV, quite a bit. Not so uniform and "professional", very refreshing.

WTF is with the anthem?

 

[m9]

WTF is with the anthem?

It's certainly different.

 

[PB37]

This sounds like the kind of music they play during the rides of a local fair.

 

[Ouroboros]

Hahaha - what the **** is going on...

 

[m9]

So since Fedor got knocked out they've had a preliminary fight, the Brazilian national anthem, firefighters, Dave Navarro, and the US anthem. Is this fight actually going to happen?

 

[PB37]

i would absolutely hate this crap if I was a fighter. It's a mood killer.

 

[dss97]

This is so bizarre haha.

 

[m9]

Chael by sub.

 

[dss97]

Wand looks exhausted.

 

[dss97]

Tito

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Stand them up!

 

[tmurfin]

These two are out there doin the damn thing! Honestly much better fight than most if not all of Bellators "legend" fights.

 

[m9]

Eh. Still found that fight more entertaining than Bader/Davis or Lima/Larkin.

 

[tmurfin]

Lol good for Chael P. Honestly expected him to fold after getting dropped, but he wanted it and Wand couldn't do anything to stop that double.

 

[dss97]

That was horrible.

 

[tmurfin]

Lmfao Chael has to call to Randy ****in Couture in the crowd (!!) to get some water?!?!

 

[tmurfin]

Tito looks irate lmfao

 

[tmurfin]

Honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Some odd **** went down, but sometimes you can't help it, well done by Bellator all in all. Great entertainment.

 

[PB37]

Chael showed some toughness after getting clipped behind the ear. He even brought out the flying knee, which I haven't seen him do since...BoDog? Classic Chael win, but I've never liked him at this weight. Just looks too slow and lumbering.

 

[Live in the Now]

I respect Bellator for trying to compete with the UFC, but this was a disaster full of horrible fights. I would be surprised if people didn't get fired for wasting money, and I don't think many people bought this show to begin with.
