Bellator has a rule change....

Now, instead of ppl having to go back into the tournaments automatically after losing title fights, if Rebney wants to see a rematch, the loser can just get a rematch.

Kinda goes against what Bellator is about but I think they did this so they can keep Alvarez...everybody wants to see that Chandler rematch.

That scenario is perfect for the rule, also Askren/Hieron to a lesser extent as that fight was pretty close. Still hoping Eddie signs with the UFC though, so many great match-ups for him there.

it's on mtv2 at 8pm.

But the entire thing is on spike.com and bellator.com starting at 6pm est. It's in better quality (HD) and doesn't have any commercials. MTV2 has the worst commercials.

It's not a great card tonight though. I watch all the Bellator's but to be completely honest I really don't like Bellator at all and wish it was a different company that was getting signed to go on Spike.

I thought just the one WSOF card on NBCSPORTS was better than any Bellator show.

I actually like Bellator...i think theyll get a little better fighters coming in with the new Spike deal. Their CEO is a really cool dude, who cares about the fans for the most part. When their deal starts in January on Spike, were gonna see some cross promotional shyt between Bellator and K1





I just saw that Lymon Good lost

Dudes been on a tear since last year, i watched him live back in Sept..hes a really cool dude.

^^Yeah I enjoy Bellator, best part about the promotion is discovering new fighters like Chandler, Pitbull brothers, Dantas, and Andrey Koreshkov who just beat Good. There production is kinda bland though.

exactly. Their fighters would shine anywhere else. Bellator has TERRIBLE production. Super boring and cheap. A dirty mat, terrible promo packages, bad lighting. And they fight in these cheap midwestern indian casionos.

It's not the fighters that's the problem. If they just moved all of the fighters elsewhere you'd have a good org.

They're TERRIBLE at making stars. How many years have they been around? They don't even have one clear star right now. I doubt even pretty hardcore fans could name their champs.
