its payback for all the times dudes would fight Fedor in Russia, get the canned anthem and Fedor'd get choirs and sacrificial virgins. Scott Coker is a patriot, you see.

Fedor also flash-KOed Mitrione. I haven't seen an actual double KO since Hughes/Newton and in that one Hughes was choked out.

phil davis sucks at everything but wrestling, being a triangle, and cowardice, but keep in mind that he managed to avoid getting murdered by anthony johnson, which easily makes him #2 or #3 at 205 :cawg:

its hard to tell from the slowmo because Mitrione always has that stupid look on his face. I don't think he was really out. Knocked down, yes. But aware enough to land on his rear end so he can get back up again. Like many Purdue graduates, he is a high functioning illiterate.

Meathead said in his post fight that he had no idea what was going on he just looked up and saw Fedor was down and jumped on him. He got flash KOed and didn't recall actually throwing the KO punch.

If they had 900,000 viewers for the free card, maybe they had 300-400k buys? It'll be a while before we know. Anyway, thats a pretty good gate.

Coworker recruited a friend for softball. After the game, she was explaining which part of her family was half-Asian using photos, and pointed to this one person at a Christmas gathering.
"Now you might think my cousin here's half Asian, but she's not."
I asked, "... is that... Roxanne Modafferi?"
And she was like, "how do you know who she is?"

She also said Roxanne can get overwhelming about posting about training on Facebook.

They reported a 1.5 million gate for the event which was apparently a new record for Bellator.

That's not terrible especially considering they pay their fighters a carton of cigarettes and some subway tokens to show up. The UFC made $17,700,000 in gate on their last MSG show, though.

Let's wait to see ppv figures before we get too ahead of ourselves. I kind of think of they were really good, even like 300k, someone would've said something by now or leaked something to the press.

That is their big talent though because no one is going to see Liam McGeary or w/e, they are making their money from lapsed MMA fans who just remember older UFC fighters and PRIDE. Like they don't have a bigger draw than Fedor or their Shamrock/Gracie fight.

What I mean is those guys, especially Fedor cost a shitload of money. It also costs a ton to do broadcasts from MSG. This was an extremely expensive event to put on.

I doubt they actually made a profit, but screwing the guys on the bottom of the card while dumping money on the top is the tried and true boxing business model.
