I saw the Cyborg fight, it would have been a bad idea before that too.

People! I'd like to say a couple words for you: If you have a dream in your life... go head! It's a possible! Go head! I can do that!

Coker was apparently close to signing Carano for kickboxing but I guess now that she's actually been in a successful movie it doesn't seem like such a great idea

Why would she ever have even considered it? Are there reports on the money she was offered?

Then again, all I know about women's kickboxing was that one terrible fight between Gilbert's wife and a random lady, so maybe it's easy cash.

I guess it's possible she just misses fighting and the money isn't terrible. I suppose there's also something to be said for building her brand as a tough woman for more action roles.

Put on your tinfoil hat for a minute.

Kimbo and Dada 5000 used to be friends, and went to the same high school together. In fact, Dada is a childhood friend and former bodyguard of Slice's who helped during the Miami brawler's YouTube days.

A few days ago at open workouts, a video of Dada hitting pads gets around and everyone is like "holy poo poo Kimbo is actually going to destroy this guy easily, and that's saying something".



Tons of money comes in on the fight, way more than a usual Bellator fight. In fact, several oddsmakers are no longer taking bets on this fight. Dada goes from approx +300 to +180 in a very short time spam because people are betting ridiculous amounts of money on him.


I'm not saying it's a fixed fight, but these are things I would look for if a fight was to be fixed.

I'll throw some barebones OP up in a few. I'd do more, but I'll probably go and watch a goon get wrecked in NASCAR trucks instead of the prelims.

At first glance I thought that coffin was supposed to be for Dada after the fight and figured Bellator has no shame. I was pleasantly surprised to see a vampire jump out of it.

That's one reason why I side with Dana on why he doesn't allow anybody to do antics before the fights in UFC. And really the difference between Tom Lawlor's UFC entrances and that coffin shows how there's even a gap in the elite gimmicky walkout talent of UFC and other b-league promotions.

The cornrows really complete the ensemble. Also, was there an awkwardly long pre-fight prep period where some poor official had to wash the fake blood of of his face before applying the vaseline?
