As a West coaster with cable, I had to wait 3 hours later. I enjoyed the lightweight title bout. What a KO. Why wasn't it the main event?
I like Rampage but man that was rough. And I'm not accusing Bellator of anything, but you get the feeling a fair amount of the time that the guy Bellator wants to win ends up getting the nod in close fights. Not a chance in hell Rampage won the first round in that fight. Also, Mitrione was out and they didn't stop his fight, but as soon as he hurt his opponent the ref immediately jumped in. Those two fights nearly ended in a nightmare scenario for Bellator.
For a guy who is supposed to be a professional kick boxer, that Minoru Kimura guy was throwing a really stupid kick and he absolutely crumpled after one punch. If I didn't know better, I'd accuse Rizin of being just as shady as Pri ... oh, wait.Ol' Krazy Horse still at it, 7 second KO, than beefin with Wand backstage what year is this

in true bellator fashion, Marloes Coenen is fighting for Bellator's inaugural Women's Featherweight belt after getting finished by Alexis Dufresne. The latter, fighting on the same card, just got finished by a 5-5 fighter.
"Bellator fashion"... didn't Rousey get a title shot coming off a loss? And Holm? And Miesha Tate? Nick Diaz? Chael Sonnen? Frankie Edgar? BJ Penn? Shogun Rua? Dan Henderson? Randy Couture?
Enough with the organization biases, gang.

Only one I'm not totally against up top is Shogun Rua.. I guess Dan Henderson too considering everything.
Minakov is fighting Bigfoot in about 12 hours for those interested. It's on Fight Pass. They weighed in at 269 and 287. Apparently Bigfoot was granted a TRT exemption.
Bigfoot really needs to retire. The damage he's taken lately is unreal. He was swinging at air that entire fight. Sure would love to see Minakov in the UFC.Minakov rolled him. Brutal finish.
