Does anyone here actually watch Bellator?

Last thing I watched was Fedor vs Ryan when Ryan became a double champ. Like a 10 second fight lol.

 

[Cunth]

fedor without steroids

 

[Carton]

Make it or break it for Weidman here, one would imagine.

 

[Carton]

Good signs from Weidman: met some resistance on his first few takedown attempts, but stuck to his game plan. I still fear he is going to get KOed though.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Weidman's striking and takedowns look really sloppy in this round. Same story with him though. Dude hasn't looked the same since USADA came in.

 

[Carton]

1-1. Two exhausted fighters, Weidman more so.

 

[Carton]

Some pretty smooth BJJ from Chris! Akhmedov is tired, but I was anticipating him bullying a sluggish Weidman this round.

Recent training with Thompson, cornered by Longo, but that looked like lessons from Serra in the 3rd.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Jesus christ he can barely get his breath for the interview.

 

[Carton]

Are we going to get Balls Blazin’ or Bad Back Black Beast? I think the former and we’ll see a KO.

 

[SpiceRacz]

During Derrick Lewis' walkout:

"Knockout power unlike any other heavyweight in the UFC"

Nah.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Oleinik looks like he partakes in some vodka.

 

[Carton]

Why did Lewis get into a grappling match? Terrible strategy. Nice sambo from Oleinik, but extremely ambitious to think he can finish a neck crank on him

 

[Carton]

Yikes! What a bull! That’s what I was expecting.

 

[MaestroMike]

ooooh

 

[SpiceRacz]

"I gotta take a shit"

LOL

‘I’m back’ says Chris Weidman while gasping for air

 

[GymWolf]

ooof that holland vs buckley was fire.

holland is a fucking sniper.

They need to subtitle or hire a transaltor for Stipe.

Rockhold's chin is shot. He needs to stop fighting.

But all she has is her looks! She's a mediocre fighter and is regularly outwitted by everything, living and inanimate.

 

[Cunth]

That's possibly the dumbest move made by anyone in the history of sports. Who wants to bet it ends up with her being a 'spokeswoman' for the organisation and not actually fighting

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Live in a few mins or just watch the stream at your own pace.

Apparently she's getting multiple millions of dollars. I think she like okay I'll take 3-4 ass kickings but I'm set for life after and can retire before people realize how ass I am.

I mean it's also not hard to find some cans to beat up; most women's MMA isn't at a super competitive level. I wouldn't fault her for fighting some soccer moms twice a year and collecting a phat check.

Chandler potentially making the jump to the UFC. I don't think he cracks the top 5 though. 155 is deep as fuck.

Not a good career move, IMO...and he's probably gonna deflate physically within a year with the difference in drug testing. If I were him I'd stay a big fish in a smaller pond and keep collecting checks, unless he knows he's within 1-2 years of being done anyway.

If he wants to be done in a couple years...then sure! Swing for the fences and it's all good.

Well the Jones thing is such a rollercoaster of emotion. I was a big fan watching him come up and I let his initial slip ups go since people deserve a second chance. He just kept taking that goodwill for granted from everyone. Then comes the article below about Rumble coming back... it almost feels like Rumble was dodging Jones for forever. Now with DC and Jones out of the picture he might get his desired belt. Still sad we never got to see Rumble Vs Bones. Though I remember seeing Rumble walk by at a UFC event. That is one guy that just has this aura of sheer power just walking around.

has anyone retired, come back, and had success in ufc other than GSP?

 

[SpiceRacz]

Randy Couture.

[manfestival]

Geez all of this news.
Well Anderson... you are a treasure but just STOP.
Zombie v Ortega will be fun.
Will be nice to see Lewis lay out Curtis.
Reyes v Blachowicz will be interesting but I would ultimately see Reyes as being the real winner here.

 

[Cunth]

light heavyweight bores me

 

[smart_brazileiro]

light heavyweight bores me

Yeah, man. LHW used to be the prime weight division prior to Bones. Heavyweight recycles the same guys and the same fights over and over again. The lower classes is where the fire is at rightnow.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Not really interested in seeing Silva fight anymore, but Zombie/Ortega should be FOTY worthy.

Yeah, funny enough they were airing all of the ultimate fighter seasons on Twitch and I was watching some of it. They showed good ol Bones in his "youth" and even Roy Jones vs Shaub

 

[SpiceRacz]

A win over Poirier probably puts him in position for a title shot. I don't think he wins that fight though.

do Bellator people juice?

Dat ref needed a few dozen more shots just to be sure

 

[MaestroMike]

next week looks pretty good

 

[Cunth]

Ankalaev Cutelaba rematch should be a banger

 

[SpiceRacz]

[Ornlu]

do Bellator people juice?

The fighters have no reason not to. If you're in Bellator and you're NOT on the sauce, then you're doing it wrong.

looking forward to costa smashing izzy soon. cant stand that guy

I was kinda flip flopping who I was rooting for then I saw his new hair

I'm sorry I can't root for someone that looks like that.
