This is how I imagined Fujita's skull looked like right after I saw him get knocked out by Overeem.

After the first round of EBI7 they brought out their first super fight to give their fighters a chance to rest up for the 2nd round, and the first "super fight" was kind of a cool concept.

They brought out 2 13-year old girls as possible future prospects for MMA. The match took the full 10 minutes of regulation and 3 minutes of overtime. They were fighting under a more restrictive ruleset where some of the more dangerous submissions were forbidden, and it went into overtime before one of the girls finally got a submission. The crowd understood what was going on, applauded every escape, and cheered the victory.

Yeah they've done that before. It's pretty legit and cool. There was one crazy match between two teenagers from some EBI.

I don't think Bellator is trying that hard to be a poor man's UFC. They have their own thing going on with their flashy pro-wrestling entrances and ridiculously old guys fighting each other. TNA on the other hand is what WWE would look like with no money.

Bellator is the 2nd largest/notable MMA organization in the world. It got bought up by Viacom (who own Spike TV which UFC used to have a contract with) after the UFC signed a TV deal with FOX Sports. It's also currently headed up by a promoter named Scott Coker who ran the now defunct Strikeforce which was also at one point the 2nd largest/notable MMA organization in the world before they fell on hard financial times and the owners of the UFC bought them out.

They used to run tournaments in each weight class to determine who would get a title shot, then abandoned that after Viacom bought them out in favor of the more traditional fight card format. Bellator also signed a lot of ex-UFC notables who either got cut, or didn't want to re-sign with the UFC. Most of whom were on losing streaks when they left the UFC.

It's got some good fighters and some good matches but also has the occasional suspicious stuff that happens like the allegations they're avoiding state athletic commissions that are competent in order to save money, which also puts their fighters health at risk from time to time.

Bellator is the sourcefor your freak shows and circus fights before they get outlawed. It is currently the wild west and only has fights in places with no real sanctioning or oversight. For example, a KO loss in the UFC comes with an immediate 90 suspension for medical reasons. Cyborg got knocked out two months ago. A man died and was resuscitated twice following a bellator fight, and the other fighter died just a month or so later from a heart condition that would have been revealed with any real sports physical.

So I take it since Cyborg is posting a GoFundMe Bellator doesn't pay for medical like UFC? That's utterly hosed.

The end of the bout isn't particularly gruesome, it's a knee to the head similar to what Mark Hunt suffered from Werdum.

I'm not sure if it was bellator or WSOF that had the jaw breaking fight with clear audio, but it was a lot like this one. If you ever want to hear what it sounds like to fracture a skull, just turn up the volume.

If you're talking about the guy getting his jaw broken with a RNC across the chin, that was in the UFC. Misha Cirkunov vs. Alex Nicholson.

He's insanely fast on some of his shots. One of the few fighters where some of his highlight slomo punches look like they're real time.

To my untrained arm-chair rear end, it would seem like the fact that it was a flying knee and not a grounded knee that he was diving into made that much worse.

Hard to say. Planted strikes can have more power because there's no give, like running into an immobile object. The key is that he dove into it, making it into a collision.
