Yeah that's why I added the "on short notice" bit, but also that's how bad the 135 landscape looks, :shrug:.

I think Pennington's argument is the best, and I note that Julianna Pena got her initial, victorious title shot on the strength of a single victory, and that victory was a submission over Sara McMann, who was 1 for her last 3 and said 1 was her first victory since February of 2017.

actually, yeah, I am a little mad

Great flying knee, but the ref gave Bigdeli (which afaict is just a normal Iranian name and not a Thai gym sponsor) way too much rope on the 10-count. Was way too out of it to be sent back in.

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.

I kinda doubt it. Unless they see the MMA revenue stream as a really strong area for their growth of this new company. I'd imagine if they did buy it, they'd merge it with the UFC. Bellator's brand name isn't quite strong.

Yeah, the guy never gets his hands up and the ref just sort of decides limply holding them at your waist is good enough to get back in there.

"Hey, this guy needs me to repeat the instruction 3 or 4 times before he shows any response at all, I tell him to raise his hands to show he can properly defend himself and he only raises them to his waist with a dazed expression. Seems copacetic."

Eh I dunno if that division is so clear, that's a Mauy Thai fight in the above clip where the ref has to convince the fighter to step to him (which he doesn't) and put his hands up (which he mostly doesn't) before letting him be immediately finished, and on the MMA side, I specifically have a really good impression of Mohamad Sulaiman, though I don't have any examples offhand as to why.

That would be cool if it combines with PFL or maybe ONE. UFC already owns 90% of the mma talent, they don't need to buy any more orgs.

I would be very wary of tying the B-league ecosystem to the financial health of PFL or ONE.
