fukk yes. Hes gonna eat that roster alive. Hopefully he gets more then 1 fight a year like all the top bellator guys. Awesome pick up. Bellator is creeping up

Think about Machida the young GOAT in one of those Bellator tournaments.

Johny Hendricks would be proud

catching up on the Edwards/Cerrone fight, that was an easy 4-1 win for Edwards IMO. Wished he would have pushed the pace a lil bit more but Edwards got a aesthetically pleasing striking style, mixed up the kicks and punches well and has evolved since I first seen him vs Tumenov. I wonder how long the UFC waits until they sign his brother because he looks like he's gonna end up even better than Leon, more explosive and a better athlete.

Mackenzie needs to stop and fight at Flyweight. Her titties too big for 115.

She got that body that you gotta wear out before she hit that wall

Watched Moicano vs Ortega today. Man that was a good ass fight. The whole fight it seemed like Moicano was landing a lot more and his punches sounded like they had more power. By the 3rd round Renato looked done. Can someone break down what happened in that fight?

I've watched alot of his fights and this dude was either playing possum or is a slow starter in alot of these fights. In the Brandao,Taravres, clay guida and this fight, dude would lose the first rounds then pull a TKO or sub out of his ass (pause) out of nowhere.

Until his last two fights he started going through others rather quickly.

I'd be interested to know how the judges scored that fight prior to the sub. I could see it as 1-1 heading into rd 3 and altho Mociano looked more beatup, if Ortega hadn't turned Mociano's take-down into a sub, Ortega may've been looking at a decision loss off points with how close that fight was with both of them landing.

Rashad Evans just announced his retirement on Ariel's show. Thank goodness. He doesn't need to fight anymore

Haven't seen him vs Guida or Brandao but his match vs Tavares was excellent. He showed how you can fukk someone up from your guard and off your back. Tavares kept winning the wrestling but Ortega wore him down the whole fight with elbows and upkicks.

I can't pick who wins between him and Max. Would also like to see him go up to 155 vs Khabib

Bellator should just wrap it up, one of the best fights in the promotions history and they are putting it behind a paywall streaming service

Looks like they're getting a piece of the pie that Eddie Hearn got from DAZN

God, I hope this inspires them to book their better fighters more often. Their TV cards are so hit and miss. I'm a big fan of a lot of their guys and they leave their better fighters off the card for local ticket sellers too often.

I might sign up for the 1 month free trial, after that

Can't imagine those exclusive shows will be worth sticking around for, especially with Bellator's thin roster compared to the UFC at least.

Good to see Antonina Shevchenko make it to the UFC . I remember watching her in Lion Fight and being impressed.

USADA was the end of his chapter

I was reading about Hendricks’ steakhouse that went out of business in under year, and decided to look it up. Johny deserves every beatdown he got in the Octagon for selling this BS...

Dude was charging restaurant prices for struggle plates and bag salad from Wal-Mart. If you have some free time read the YELP reviews, they’re pure comedy.
