So.. Bellator looks kind of interesting this weekend.

 

[Perennial]

Is this Edgar's debut at Bantamweight?

 

[CDJ]

Is this Edgar's debut at Bantamweight?

it is

Main event should be fun. Co main should be interesting....def could see OSP getting another Von Preaux against Menifield

most interested in seeing Agapova again. She looked like a possible world beater in her last fight and that division needs her

everything else is bleh. Maybe Valiev could be somebody to watch. Idk

So.. Bellator looks kind of interesting this weekend.

can catch both, I believe bellator is on tomorrow

Bader vs Nemkov should be a good fight.

Amosov is on the card, he’s 23-0. Some decent names he’s faced recently too. Dude loves anacondas and D’arces

big country is on it too lol. Can’t believe he’s still doing it

Lots of interesting names on the undercard too.

 

[m9]

Really only interested in the top two fights here, not much else to get me excited. Would be nice to see Edgar win.

 

[CDJ]

Edgar looked fantastic hitting the scale


Takashi Sato made weight but apparently compromised himself too much in the promise as he was deemed unfit to compete

Dwight Grants opponent didn’t weight in. So they made Daniel Rodriguez vs Dwight Grant

down to 10 fights on the card

 

[CDJ]

Alright

I got both veteran underdogs, Pracinho +185, and an Agapova/Valiev parlay


Edgar is at +200 and sure Munhoz can catch him with a bomb, but I think Frankie compares favorably to some of the guys Munhoz has lost to. Plus he physically looks like he should’ve been here his entire career

If OSP fights smart in round 1 he should honestly have no problem with Menifield. Don’t know why he’s the dog. Should go like the Olekseijczuk fight with the younger guy coming out throwing bombs until he wears down a bit and dragged into deep waters. Just have to weather the initial storm. Devin Clark exposed big holes in his game and there has not been enough time to close them if OSP does survive the initial onslaught

 

[m9]

OSP out due to Covid.

 

[CDJ]

f***!

rescheduled for 9/5

 

[Avs_19]

So all we have left is the main event now and I think Frankie is getting KO'd.

 

[CDJ]

Valiev looks like a motherf***er to fight against


135 is getting even richer

WOW what an upset to come out in the 2nd like that by Jones

 

[I am not exposed]

Nice comeback win in that first fight.

 

[CDJ]

If you go by betting odds that’s one of the bigger upsets of the year

Valiev dominated the fight until one check hook. Jones surviving the first showed unreal heart

 

[VanillaCoke]

Minus looks bad. Not ufc quality

 

[CDJ]

Minus had a decent 3rd round

pretty good fight. Stuff happened

 

[CDJ]

Only got brief looks at Villanueva’s cut but it looked pretttttay gross


Rodriguez-Grant was a bonkers few minutes

 

[m9]

Shana Dobson is 3-4 and on the main card of a UFC event. Her 3 wins are against 2 winless fighters and another that is 4-5.

Showcase fight for Agapova.

 

[h2]

I like this Agapova, seems absolutely nuts lol

 

[CDJ]

I saw agapova as a -1400 favorite on Bovada, another massive upset

 

[Avs_19]

The showcase didn't go well. She was done after all the grappling in the first round.

 

[Killahpunk]

Agapova disappoints.
