Bisping vs Jacare, pls

 

Nov 1, 2016

Wish they could throw that on the 206 card, Bisping was just looking for a payday before getting knocked off by one of Jacare, Romero or Weidman.

Anyways I guess they are targeting Dillashaw vs Linker for 207, should have been on 206 but i won't complain about that stacking that card.

206 is such a joke lmao

Prior to the Holloway/Pettis addition yea, but with it i probably prefer it to 201, 203 and 204.

It looks worse then it is squeezed in between 205 and 207.

DC/Rumble
Holloway/Pettis
Swanson/Choi
Krylov/Cirkunov
Moraga/Makovsky
Mein/Meek
Vannata/Makdessi

All pretty good fights

True. Forgot Showtime & Halloway were added. Also the Cubby fight is going to be nuts. May still buy tbh lol. Hope DC gets KO'd

Kharitonov got wrecked in his Bellator debut last night.

 

Nov 5, 2016

It kicked off the card and was like the 16th fastest knockout in company history. I had barely settled in when he got starched. Worst part was seeing his head clatter off the canvas on the replays.

In other news, Ed Ruth looked pretty good against whoever he was fighting. Phil was in good form and McGreary seemed like a live dog. It's weird how you perceive a full mount to be super dangerous and yet given their proportions and Phil's riding style he would claim mount and then it'd basically be hand fighting for an arm triangle with a couple glancing shots. Not a bad main event. Looking forward to Koreshkov-Lima and Ortiz-Sonnen even despite Bellator being super corny with egregious matchmaking.

Bellator needs to go ahead and just let Chael promote this fight and not let Tito speak.

Hmm so UFC will do a Fight Night show in Houston the night before the Superbowl. Good idea to do a card the night before in the same city thats hosting the Super Bowl, but a little surprised its not a PPV. Then again the majority of the UFC belts are being defended in November/December and there are #1 contender fights going on in the MW (Weidman/Romero) and HW divisions (Cain/Werdum).

Any time the new ownership wants to come out and say anything, maybe let us know their plans for 2017 would be cool. Have to assume we get something from them this week or at least Dana lays out the plans.

They are overdue one of those quarterly press conferences or did they just stop doing those

I'll go ahead and dig my own grave with 205 predictions

Alvarez - If Conor can't put him out, I don't think he'll win a decision.
Thompson - Far too good at controlling distance to get steamrolled early. Could get clipped in an exchange. Too strong a finisher and level headed a fighter to bet against. Woodley might look as clueless as he did against MacDonald on his feet and he hasn't used his wrestling too effectively of late.
Jedrzejczyk - Karolina won the Rose fight because Rose stubbornly fought for a takedown and got eaten up in the clinch. When she fought at range, Rose picked her apart. There's a power gap here. JJ should cruise to another wide decision like the Victoria fight. Don't expect KK to be looking good by the end.
Weidman - Romero doesn't have the gas.
Cerrone - Gastelum might big brother him into a wrestlefuck, but Cerrone has too many ways to finish the fight.
Tate - Pennington has never rose to the occasion in her entire canever Tate's solid on all fronts.
Edgar - Stephens hasn't been consistent of late. Too many wars. Edgar only comes up short against the best. Mark Henry as a boxing coach doesn't hurt either.
Khabib - Johnson is an awful match up for him stylistically. Tall, lanky, and good TDD. He's never fought a guy like that before. I just doesn't have faith in Johnson's will after he gets thrown around for the first time. It will happen eventually and then I see MJ crumbling.
Kennedy - Rashad is washed up. Kennedy is rusty. Going with the guy whose chin will probably hold up.
Miller - He looked good against Lauzon and I haven't had faith in Alves this decade.

Jon Jones got a 1 year suspension, retroactive to when he was first suspended back on July 6th.

 

Nov 7, 2016

Still hasn't dealt with Nevada yet either, knowing them they could give him 2 years.

LHW is back in the gutter. Gus is gonna be out a while with a back injury and Bader is gonna be a Free Agent after he beats Lil Nog (Bellator will probably pay him what he wants) . If DC wins my guess is he'll fight Manuwa and if Rumble wins then they do the 3rd fight immediately. After that you're talking about the Krylov/Cirkunov winner or Shogun and that would be DJ vs TUF Winner or Cariaso type title shots.
