Great fight, not as good as the 1st but still awesome. Both guys showed a ton of heart in the fight.

Yo Bellator is not a legit organization and this is proof. That's some bullshyt.

Really good fight, could've gone either way. Close fight as well.

Fight was really close, I'm not mad at the decision.

I had Chandler winning the first 3 rds , Alvarez def took the last round. I also found the announcers to be bias, Chandler was excellent in the first round and the announcers weren't saying anything unless Alvarez landed, yet Chandler is(was) the champ, weird.

Bellator needs to get their moneys worth I suppose.

Emmanuel is not an awful LHW. He's certainly not elite but awful is a ridiculous exaggeration/reeks of UFC dikkriding. Both guys are journeymen at this point.

Ridiculous exaggeration? Newton is not a top 25 LHW in the world and is about the same level as fighters like Maldonado and Perosh. I'd consider that pretty terrible. Plus, the fight was contested almost entirely on the feet and his striking looked awful.

UFC dikkriding? I've said that Chandler, Alvarez, Curran, Dantas, etc. would all be contenders for the title in the UFC.

Bjorn is mad

He's top 25. If you don't think so name 25 LHW's better than him. If you consider Maldonado "terrible" you're dumb. There's a very good distance between elite and terrible. Maldonado gave Teixara a fight. KOTC light-heavyweight's and guys like Houston Alexander and Jason Guida are terrible.

The word you're looking for is "middling".

 

[Propaganda]

tough fight to call. chandler/alvarez 3? sounds good to me.

and yeah, although he beat king mo twice, newton is pretty meh. let's be real, he wouldn't even come close to being champion in the ufc. tdd, spam spinning shyt, rinse and repeat.

Are you serious? Maldonado got dominated in that fight, he landed one good clean shot that wobbled Teixeira, but other than that, it was a completely one-sided fight. Maldonado should've lost to Beltran, which is fukking sad. I think it's safe to say he's pretty terrible.

Amazing card on paper, after watching it, it was kinda alright. That king mo fight just really bored the crap outta me, Mo looked like sum1 who doesnt really care about fighting at this point and just trying to collect a pay chq. Hurry up and do a king mo vs rampage both guys retire fight and done.

chandler/alvarez - i had eddie winning the fight, 3 rounds to 2. very close fight, wouldn't have been shocked nor upset if went split to chandler. that 4 th round was very close to being a 10-8 round for chandler, as eddie jus couldn't get up. and even with chandler banged up and obviously tired he was still stuffing eddie's takedowns. After seeing that, Eddie should stay in bellator i don't think he'll be able to handle the wrestlers in the ufc nor the striking of a pettis or aldo.
