Viacom could always pull the plug eventually if they don't meet certain criteria.
lol thats a big "could" i mean i seriously doubt they had to pay that much for it or are breaking the bank to keep it running..With tna nearly on the outs what form of sport entertainment do you think they'll use to fiill time slots, cuz glory aint it.In fact it wouldnt surprise me if everthing is as it was before viacom stepped in except spike help with production and someone at viacom sits in during negotiations with big fighters.rbeny still needs to make it happen but they will pick up the slack if need be

Chandler really is one of the best LW's in the game right now. The hand speed he used to put away Rickels so quickly was super impressive. The fact his last 2 opponents have been fighters who have dropped down from WW and won the LW tourney is impressive as well. He should have Dave Jansen by the end of the year and that would make 3 title defenses for him in a year (I expect him to win of course). The problem being that UFC has all of the top LW fighters that could really give him a test, at least he is getting paid well.

Askren fought an Askren fight. Went as expected, but the Russian kid had next to zero offense throughout the fight. Askren is another champ who Bellator will have a hard time finding challengers for, he is most likely going to face Lima again if Lima beats Saunders.

One area Bellator has been able to succeed is in finding Russian talent as Mother Russia claims another Bellator tourney, this time in the HW division.
