Straus did what I always hoped to see. Throw a shot while the guy is slowly turn back to face him and connecting as soon as he does.

Great fight, glad Curran pulled it out at the end because there's no way the judges scores on that fight would have made any sense

So do we see Curran-Straus 4 or does Straus say gently caress it when Bellator tries to make him fight another tournament to get another shot.

I have no idea what Straus was trying to do once Curran took his back. He just crawled on all fours to the cage for no discernible reason.

So Curran fights Patricio next, what about Khasbulaev?

You were right! Meltzer posted the scorecards:

quote:


Pat Curran regained the Bellator featherweight title via choke over Daniel Straus with :14 left in the fifth round on tonight's show from Hammond, IN.

Going into the fifth round, the scores were even. It appeared from watching that Straus had won three of the first four rounds, but a couple of rounds were close. The scores were actually 39-37 Straus, 39-37 Curran and 38-38 even going into the fifth round. Given that Curran was clearly winning the fifth, even if he hadn't finished Straus he would have captured the title via decision. While watching it, it came acorss that Straus would have won the decision unless Curran got a fifth round finish.

I thought Curran had lost 3 rounds at that point but expected him to win a decision.

actually, yeah, I am a little mad
For someone who shadowboxes for the camera as terribly as Straus does, I was happy to see his striking get more serviceable.

Pay no attention to me, for I am a stupid cunt.

quote:

Former title contender Doug Marshall has been pulled from Bellator MMA’s Season 10 middleweight tournament.

Marshall was slated to meet Dan Cramer in a semifinal matchup as part of the main card of Bellator 115, which takes place April 5 at the Reno Event Center in Reno, Nev.

After earning a title shot by winning the company’s eighth-season tourney at 185 pounds, Marshall was suspended in December by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission when he tested positive for a banned substance in his losing bid against champion Alexander Shlemenko. According to a Wednesday release from Bellator, Marshall was removed from his bout with Cramer “after having his suspension from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission extended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.”

Man, War Machine gone, the guy with the Iron Cross tattoo gone, Bellator might run out of lovely people to put in tournaments

marshall was attempting a reverse rocky 4 to defeat the red menace, except instead of a team of sciemtists he had overweight dudes in a garage split between finding clean needles and searching for the correct racial slur to call a russian
