^Not the best card. I can't say i'm the biggest Bellator fan. I hope they kill the tournament format on Spike for the most part. Maybe hold a contenders version once a year.

 

[phillycavsfan]

If not kill it, just reduce it to a 4 fighter tourney. They're starving their champions right now.

That shyt was slick.. He wouldn't have pulled that shyt with Jeff Smith.. I gotta find out why he didn't fight.



How the fukk did Andrey get the UD?

lots of gassed Russians. Even though they're winning. They need to step up that cardio.

Tsarev looked like he saved his energy from the ground.. They were trading blows looking drunk

Some good fights on Fuel this weekend...who yall got between Miocic and Struve?


UFC was gonna counter-program Strikeforce this weekend?

Blessing in disguise, I guess....I don't flip b/w Strikeforce, UFC AND college football.

the UFC event is at 1 in the afternoon. i think?

i hope struve derails the miocic hype train. He wasn't overly dominant over Del Rosario.

^I think this card is going to be very good. I'm looking over the names and looking at some picks on the mma sites and it's very 50/50. These are some nice competitive fights. A lot of guys that scrap. The undercard is also full of guys who are making their ufc debuts, but have been recruited for years.

If you are one of those guys who watches all hdnet type fights, guys like Watson, Manuwa, and Gunnar are all guys you've been waiting to see in the UFC. I don't think any will do anything but be middle of the road guys but it's cool to see.
