Why is Sonnen fighting Fedor, and Silva fighting Mitrione?

EDIT - And Chandler fighting Lima? This is nuts!

Joking, btw. Dumb poster.

I see Larkin taking the belt. Dude looked like a fucking world-beater in his last UFC fight. Shame he didn't get a new contract there.

I think Sonnen curls into a ball, he's a huge bitch.

Benefited from roids more than Wand.

There is like 6 fights on the card better than the main and co-main

Never been to a live MMA event, and have been following ticket prices for this one. They're pretty steep, so unfortunately, I can't convince any of my friends to go. Perhaps they'll drop again tomorrow...I recently bought Berto vs Porter tickets the day of the event at Barclays for dirt cheap, and they were pretty good seats to boot.

Goldberg-Ranallo.jpg


Bellator have revealed exactly how newly-signed commentators Maura Ranallo and Mike Goldberg will contribute to their debut event in Madison Square Garden this weekend.

Mauro Ranallo, former play-by-play announcer for Strikeforce and the WWE, will lead the Bellator NYC pay-per-view portion of the broadcast alongside colour commentator Jimmy Smith, with Mike Goldberg hosting the the desk for the broadcast. Earlier in the evening at the Bellator 180 portion of the event, the roles will be reversed with Goldberg on play-by-play duties and Ranallo hosting the broadcast. Smith will pull double duty in his colour commentary for both sections of the event.

Sean Grande, who has served as play-by-play announcer for Bellator for two years, announced that he was leaving Bellator recently — a move which expedited the announcement of Goldberg and Ranallo as being the latest free agents to ink a deal with Scott Coker.

We always talk about how grueling the clinch is. I mean Joe did, we used to.

Goldie silently sobbing inside while insisting "This is gonna be good! Good Bellator, good!"

Yeah, great fight. Mickle looked pretty deflated on the last few takedowns, head was getting bounced off the canvas.

Nice prelims so far.
