GDT: UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Song/Bellator 285: Henderson vs. Queally

[16Skippy]

Congrats to Sandhagen, Yadong can certainly take a beating.

[CDJ]

POTN: Jackson and Pyfer

FOTN: Robocop vs Chidi

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Even though he lost I think Song's stock didn't go down. I thought he stood in there with Sandhagen and showed he belonged at 24 years old. This kid has a legit future.

 

[CDJ]

Anthony Hernandez was sneakily the most impressive guy on the card imo

1pm PST for those scrolling by thinking "I'm not wasting my Friday night on this card" like me originally

 

[CDJ]

17 YO is pretty talented, his opponent is incredibly stupid though

 

[Bunk Moreland]

His BJJ was realllllly slick and that fake the flying knee into a take down to start the round was great. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get a developmental contract. This kid has a bright future.

 

[CDJ]

hit on a Ferreira/Aliev/Lane by KO parlay at +220

 

[MMC]

Rosas got signed, wow

 

[CDJ]

They’ll have to cherry pick his matchups early on but for 17 the kid is very impressive, gonna be fun to see him at 25

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Austen Lane is gigantic

 

[pistolpete11]

Just got around to watching the top 2 fights. I've become desensitized to blood, but when you can almost see someone's skull, it makes it hard for me to watch.

Really incredible comeback for Rodrigues.

Sandhagen won fair and square, but that was a close fight. Sandhagen's timing, movement, and striking variety was giving him problems, but Song can bang. I don't know if I was overestimating Sandhagen or underestimating Song going into the fight, but I come away more impressed with Song even though he lost.

That’s basically how I felt- Sandhagen is more or less who I thought he was but Song is better than I thought he was. He has more of a chance for championship gold than I initially thought. Kinda reminded of a Chinese Zombie in there with his fight style. Some Chan Sung Jung to his game. Not early career Jung but prime Jung

I expected Sandhagen to outclass him but he didn’t. He won but it wasn’t going to be the 50-45/49-46 fight I thought it might be. If there wasn’t a stoppage he would’ve snuck outta there winning by a round. And I don’t think that’s Sandhagen’s fault, it just turns out Song is really good

He still lost the Stamann fight and imo the Chito fight though

Nice GNP KO for Yoel

 

[m9]

Missed Burnell/Carvalho.

McCourt beat Silva, though it was a pretty close fight. Really bad though, this is like ESPN prelim level WMMA stuff.

Romero/Manhoef a really boring fight. First round was two guys standing around, Romero takes him down and then does absolutely nothing. Second round, two guys standing around doing nothing.

Third round, Romero takes him down and finishes him quite easily. Felt like he could have done that at any point in the fight, but whatever.

Easy 50-45 for Bendo if not for the point deduction, glad to see him stringing together some wins

 

[m9]

Still don't understand why that was a main event, but whatever. Not a great fight and a pretty boring couple hours of Bellator fights.

Love next week's card though. Looks f***ing awesome.

Well with Piccolotti vs Barnaoui being a main event next month this one isn't actually all that bad

Had today off finally and ended up watching too much of this card, it was pretty boring.
Benson had a strong performance against someone ive never heard of and the irish fighters home town energy was cool but thats about it.

The announcing, pbp, and post fight interviews were bad and some of the camera angles at big moments couldn't have been worse.

Overall 4/10
