Bellator production value is a million times better than Ufc
that standup is a pretty perfect example of why i no longer pay for events.
Could be worse. Could be paying for UFC 221
Cormier was in another world not that long ago, the Jones knockout was quite brutal really. Oezdemir has some serious knockout power, especially when in close. Cormier wont try to stay out of his range, he'll be in his face the whole time
Oezdemir by KO is my bet. *burns some cash* :)
Macdonald/Lima was a war.
Macdonald seems to get his nose broke/totally bloody every fight now. I used to think he was the next GSP but I don't think he can with his nose/face being beat up every fight.
I feel like Rory won by 3 rounds to 2. Will see how rigged Bellator is.
Rory's leg going to be sore for weeks. I had it 3 rounds to 2 in his favor.
Big John McCarthy is a decent commentary addition to their program to sit aside Goldberg.
It's time to see how real Volkan is.
Streams are so good these days there is no point.Quote:

i genuinely thought cormier was done 3 minutes into rd 1, i respect the shit out of dc for staying in the fight and reversing the inertia.
Glad to see DC get this one. I was worried about him after getting knocked out last time.
Cormier has a really high in ring IQ but looked like he might be in a little trouble with Volkan length. He got it figured out tho and crushed this fool who has zero ground defense.
LETS GO FRANCIS
it will be interesting to see what todays gus can accomplish against todays dc, but i feel like its going to be more of the same, dc getting peppered before taking it to the ground and pounding a fool out.
REALLY LIT WALKOUT MUSIC FOR STIPE
stipe's game plan is fucking awful.
zero footwork.
Worth every fucking penny
jesus fucking christ.
lol heavyweights
good to see stipe moving again.
obv Ngannou cardio we don't need to discuss but you would think Stipe being a firefighter would have better endurance then this. Close it out already man.

like even in zombie retard mode, francis is still coming real close to ko'ing stipe every time he connects standing. stipe is fighting smart here imo.
I haven't seen a beating this bad since Rodney King.
Would have been kinder if they just shot him on his stool then go out for round 5.
I'd have laid -1500 on this not going the distance
First round was awesome atleast

God damn Ngannou is a sloppy bar room fighter with amazing physical attributes. Glad to see Stipe win that. Cmoney, hope you made some good coin on that fight.
stipe grabbing the belt out of danas hands so his coach can put it on is the cherry.
That was a struggle to stay awake which is why we need to just make the heavyweight division one five minute round and be done with it. I'm dead serious here let them go balls to the wall for five minutes cause it will be more entertaining then wasting 15 to 20 more minutes of our time.
I didn't see that but it's awesome. The UFC has done a piss poor job of marketing Miocic. I enjoy him, he's got some character and he's the blue collar fire fighter all American type. They tossed a ton of marketing dollars away on Ngannou.Quote:

Overly confident and threw some bombs that didn't miss by much, punching air is so damn tiring, he was done after the first.
He wanted out and gave him his back many times, Stipe had at least five good opportunities to choke him.
Disappointing fight. *shrugs*
lets not overlook that francis came very close to winning in the first round and even a drunken slap that caught stipe in the third had him reeling backwards.
i mean francis is trash but he's still super insanely dangerous trash.
I didn't think Stipe was really in any positions to choke. He had a key lock a few times with his legs to prevent the standup. He was just controlling the position and grinding Ngannou down. Had he gone for a choke he'd lose the position or allow Ngannou to get to the only position he was dangerous, his feet. You need to either get hooks in or flatten a guy out to attempt a a rear choke, Ngannou was always one knee down with the other foot down hoping to explode up. Stipe did the right thing, it just looked boring.Quote:

Every PPV I look forward to ends up being disappointing.
UFC 221 will be off the rails excitement since I look at the card and am glad that I won't be around that evening.
Yeah, he's a ridiculous athlete. He hurt Stipe in the first and that probably contributed to the safe tactics he used afterwards. It was boring but Stipe did the right thing. He handled a massive and dangerous puncher who has walked through everyone else.Quote:

Sonnen won an easy decision over Rampage. Rampage looked fucking awful. Also this kid is one to watch, Aaron Pico. Young guy and one of the worlds best wrestlers with great boxing. Check out the body shot he landed to win tonight. I think this kid will be UFC champ within 3 years.
