"For all the Pokemon lovers, I just caught myself a Cyborg" - MVP

I chuckled.

 

[RecRoulette]

Not supposed to make them faint smh

That's pretty funny though.

The bellator card is on a tape delay, the page fight isn't even over yet on spike I think...

 

[Lightning Count]

That's awesome. I always like these moments.

 

[Rellik]

The bellator card is on a tape delay, the page fight isn't even over yet on spike I think...

Bellator chose to show it on their Twitter before it was even on here in the UK. I'm watching ti right now on Channel 5

 

[CountAntonius]

lol that was pretty good.

 

[The Wraith]

That knee to the head was fucking brutal...

 

[TimeEffect]

Oh he just rolled it. He didn't even do it right.

Though, it would be pretty disrespectful if he did.

 

[Daft Punk]

Guess a fighting type of MMA practitioner beat someone with a rock-solid defense.

 

[OVDRobo]

Oh he just rolled it. He didn't even do it right.

Though, it would be pretty disrespectful if he did.

As someone completely unversed in MMA rules, I imagine there's rules about continuing contact with someone unconscious, including throwing objects at them. This was probably the safest way he could do it without ending up disqualified or something.

Regardless, the world's gone mad. I thought the Pokemon thing was over with the mainstream after the 90s aside from continued game and anime releases, yet here we are.

 

[-MD-]

Shit, didn't know the card started.

 

[Karspankey]

Holy shit, I felt that. Awesome celebration!

 

[Jims]

Haha, that's amazing.

But how many more Fighting-types does he really need on his team, though?

 

[Collateral22]

Shit, didn't know the card started.

Nearly over now I think, in the UK so started early.

 

[Stormus]

That knee to the solar plexus looked ruthless. LOL @ that celebration though.

 

[Reverend Funk]

lmao dude looks possessed in that last pic

 

[Moltenix]

Haha, ur not supposed to faint the Pokemon you wanna catch!

 

[Lulubop]

Pokémon fever is sweeping the nation!

 

[weekev]

That knee to the head was super effective...

FTFY

 

[shaowebb]

That was amazing. So hope he keeps winning and capturing folks. XD

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Bellator is still protecting this guy?

 

[Speely]

He needs to have a site made that mimics the Pokedex with all the MMA fighters he has a chance of fighting.

 

[WaterAstro]

I guess MMA is the Safari Zone where you throw rocks at Pokemon until they're near death and ready for a pokeball.

 

[wildfire]

What a dork! I love it.

 

[jaypah]

Lmao love it! That dude is going to be so confused when he wakes up.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Holy shit. I'm too distracted by that knee to the face. Holy hell, that had to hurt.

 

[lightskintwin]

Holy shit. I'm too distracted by that knee to the face. Holy hell, that had to hurt.

This. I felt that knee from way over here.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

That knee to the solar plexus looked ruthless. LOL @ that celebration though.

To the head, not body.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Lmao love it! That dude is going to be so confused when he wakes up.

VENOM uses Flying Knee
It's super effective!
CYBORG is confused!
CYBORG hurt itself in its confusion

 

[sirap]

Venom looks phenomenal. The true successor to Anderson SIlva.

Wish we could see him in the UFC.

 

[Chezzymann]

We are truly living in another pokemania

 

[Itachi87]

Wow, that flying knee to the face looked brutal.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

This is the hat pokemon go players should wear so people know they are playing the game and are not trying to be weird.

 

[Inuhanyou]

We are truly living in another pokemania

Kid nerds just grew up is all

 

[Grisby]

Went straight for the hat, lol.

We are truly living in another pokemania

It's something to see.

 

[Vandiger]

Brilliant

 

[BokehKing]

At first I was like
Nah this is some post processing place the hat on the head shit


But nope, that was amazing (and what a vicious knee I can only assume connected with that dudes nose)

 

[-Horizon-]

Pokemon can't stop, won't stop.

 

[JPS Kai]

Not only is Bellator on top of their shit, they just sent out a press release on it.

Bellator MMA Welterweight Michael "Venom" Page just took the Pokémon craze to new heights, after knocking out Evangelista "Cyborg" tonight in London (airs ton Spike tonight at 9pm ET/PT) with a vicious flying knee, "MVP" then proceeded to pull out a poke ball and roll it towards his downed opponent, adding a "Cyborg" to his continuously growing Pokedex.

Oops, forgot the image

[K.Jack]

Jesus Christo that knee.

Dude went down like he shattered his face.

 

[Reg]

That knee was brutal. It hurt me just watching it.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Regardless, the world's gone mad. I thought the Pokemon thing was over with the mainstream after the 90s aside from continued game and anime releases, yet here we are.

Did Pokemon ever really leave the mainstream, though? I know it wasn't near what it was at the '90s, but I thought the games, at least, were still very mainstream.

 

[Jacqli]

I am going to have nightmares with that dark toothy smile.

[Gaogaogao]

mma is a gross 'sport'
