I want Bisping to win. It's much better for the division plus Silva Bisping would be extremely entertaining.

 

[Basik77]

Should be an exciting fight. I got Vitor.

Pitbull isn't fighting how i thought he would in Bellator right now. I have it 1-1 right now.

 

[puppetmaster]

doesnt mean anything, considering he did fight in the UFC, is a former heavyweight champ, and fought in pride

Until you see him offically announced or booked that doesnt mean shyt

Could be the UFC gauging interest in him tho.


Good trash could be talked and Fun fights could be had but at the same time you gotta weigh it against worrying about dude pissing hot yet again.

According to @guicruzzz, the 'personal problems' Junior dos Santos had before Velasquez rematch is his split with his wife of 10 yrs.

Same thing happened to Hendo when he fought Shields, he and his wife were divorcing- there was no other reason for Shields to win that fight

The UFC have released a number of fighters just as they make room for the additions of the Strikeforce signees.

Chad Griggs, Nick Penner, Marcus LeVesseur, John Cofer, Joey Gambino, Jeff Hougland, Jared Papazian and Yasuhiro Urishytani and Henry Martinez are the 9 released.

UFC release 9 fighters including Griggs,Urushytani and LeVesseur - MMA Opinion

Dos Santos about to get a big upgrade from that. If he already got kids, I don't see why he'd bother wifing until his career is over.

 

[pez]

On a fukked up note, maybe that's how he got his marvelous take down defense; by playing keep away at home!

U know the 185lbs division is in deep shyt when a bum like Bisping is considered the top contender

 

[pez]

Bisping isn't a bum. I think he's underrated by many. Also, overrated by his fans (Brits and cacs). He's a polarizing figure where people who don't like him think he sucks. I think he's almost elite. A high level gatekeeper.

He has always come up short in huge fights which makes the talk unbearable. Plus his chin is made of tin foil. If Vito comes to fight and not be the mental midget flake he sometimes tends to be he should stop him in the first. Stann almost KO'd him and Vitor is a much faster, lethal striker

Pitbull isn't fighting how i thought he would in Bellator right now. I have it 1-1 right now.

That was a very close and competitive fight, Pitbull looked good early coming out throwing the leg kicks, coming forward aggressive with strikes but Curran is a very good defensive fighter. As the fight wore on he started pumping out his jab really nice busting up Pitbulls eye and hit some nice combos. Really good fight for Bellator to kick off their first show on Spike.

Chandler looked great against Hawn, taking him down easier than expected and choking him in impressive fashion. He has to be a top 10 LW.

Numbers for their first show were good, averaging a little more than 900K viewers which was way more than they ever did on MTV. Real test will be how they do a few weeks from now. Next week they have the WW title fight and the debut of King Mo.
