Moraes won by side control RNC (SNC?) because he rules, Bollinger drools.

Someone tell me that Marlon Moreas is poised to do great things, because I like him a great deal and hope that his level of success isn't directly attributed to fighting in that bad promotion

I think he'll be the test case for how willing WSOF will be to send their champions up to the big show. I imagine it will have to be soon for him, too, as there aren't really many credible challengers for him remaining. His fight before bollinger was a sad affair.

I've been asked if I want this dude on the podcast when it comes back, I have no idea how I can ask about this without being rude or implying anything, I'm certainly not going to go down that disastrous route that that guy took with Tyson recently and start with "some have said"

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

quote:

Bruno Tonioli: The big dipper. All those drops are absolutely perfect.

Carrie Ann Inaba: You are the unexpected dancer. You handle you partner with some strength. Your move is so fluid and poetic. You make me wanna dance with you out there.

Len Goodman: It was lovely! Well done!

Julianne Hough: You are epitome of a man. When you go out there and danced, you are so great. You have grace and class that you don’t find very often.

The first and last time someone refers to Randy Couture as having class.

Jason Jordan has been named the promotion’s COO, Bellator recently announced. He will report to newly named President Scott Coker in his role.

According to a release from Bellator, Jordan will be responsible for financial and operations roles, as well as corporate strategy, business development, human resources and staffing.

Jordan has a pair of degrees from Stanford – a masters degree in Operations Research and bachelors degree in economics.

MMA/wrestling analogies don't really work because the products are so similar but with a few very important differences. And if any MMA promotion is WWE, it would be, you know, the giant one everyone has heard of that's synonymous with the sport.

They're already at a point where the focus is less on the fights and more on the drama leading to fights. UFC is doing this more too but Bellator seems to be scripting and preparing them more.

Actually it works if you look at the historicals. From the 1900s to the 1980s, the name synonymous with wrestling was NWA. The focus was on bouts and getting people to watch said bouts. WWE is only a relatively recent phenomenon that focuses more on the starpower aspect and how to monetize that.

I can see Bellator focusing on a contingent of older, media friendly stars and marketing the gently caress out of them. Cartoons, movies, the whole deal.

If you think we're going to see a Stephan Bonnar/Tito Ortiz animated series then I'm not sure Spike is as terrible as you're assuming it is.

And Spike is still pretty terrible.
