Next announcement......Shaq signed for one fight.

Do everything they can to get Mayweather to fight Rousey.

 

[Slim]

Well the fights last night were pretty good.

Eric Silva is definitely exposed. He got flat dominated last night.

 

[Kassidy]

ran out of gas after 3 mins, then all matt brown, good night of fights.

 

[Slim]

Well tonight is the big night... Bellator's big night... their "big" ppv is on tonight. Main event... the guy that got knocked out by that slow backhand in King Mo... to go toe to toe with the guy that lost his way out of the UFC to Bellator in Rampage.

*yawn*

Apart from the Main Event it was a good PPV. MVP was at his arrogant best, The Russians had a good HW fight, Tito getting a win was a nice moment, Chandler-Brooks was a great back and forth war. Mo and Rampage were never really willing to fully engage though, but still cant remember the last time a UFC PPV only had one bad fight on it, so good start for Bellator.

So two fight cards in one day... and then another fight card this upcoming weekend.

But Stipe... he looked pretty good for about 40 seconds cause that's how long the fight lasted. It's like really? Just finished him off but then the guy he beat was a punching bag in his last fight. Stipe does need a challenge to see where he really stands in the division.

But as far as the other card? Munoz loses again... eh.

 

[Kassidy]

badly too, I was expecting a closer fight, mark looked bad.

overall a good night of fights, some nice finishes and some weird decisions.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Stipes fight was an even bigger squash than I expected, but taking a top HW and putting him against a nobody LHW will always end like that.

Gegard looked great as well.

 

[Deezy]

Pearson got fucked over by homer judges, I don't know how missing all your big attacks makes you win a fight?

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

MMA is such a bingo hall sport at times, that judging requires severe brain damage to give Sanchez the win. No real surprise though Diego has the record for being given wins he clearly lost.

 

[Deezy]

Tht decision wasn't Martin Kampmann bad, but damn was that decision bad.

 

[MaNonTheMoon]

Missed most of the fight... but dude looked dead tired up until the little flurry at the end of the second round. But with all the big shots he took, dude should have lost.

Also... I don't think anybody expected that Bendo finish in the Main Event.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

The worst part is Diego will be booked in his next fight as if he won and Pearson will be booked as if he lost when its really the other way around.

 

[Slim]

Yeah watching that fight... I'm like... how in the world did Sanchez win? My sister texted me after the fight and said the fight had to be rigged.

Sanchez shoulda lost but the judges don't know how to judge. How did one judge give all three rounds to Sanchez? Just messed up.

As far as Bendo finishing the fight like that... I'm glad he did. He needed a win where he finished the fight in impressive fashion instead of 25 minutes of grinding.

Dodson... I'm waiting for him to get his rematch against Johnson for the belt. That will be an awesome rematch. Dodson is the goods. Johnson... mannnn that guy is legit. Those two... fight of the year potential.

The worst part is Diego will be booked in his next fight as if he won and Pearson will be booked as if he lost when its really the other way around.

Not likely. Before this fight he said he wanted 'crybaby' Nate Diaz in Mexico but then at the press conference he wouldn't rule out fighting Pearson again in Mexico.

I've not watched the event yet but here's some scoring for the Pearson/Diego fight
