IMO betting the field makes way less sense on this tournament than the Strikeforce one because this isn't a real tournament with locked down dates, they can just postpone fights to whenever unless it's too late or Fedor does his party trick and renegotiates his contract in between fights constantly

on the other hand Ryan Bader is the #2 seed

the funny brazilian loss meme but this time it’s Matt Mitrione saying the only reason he lost to Nelson the first time was Joe Silva tricking him into fighting in the WEC cage https://www.mmafighting.com/2017/11/27/16706620/joe-silva-responds-to-matt-mitriones-claim-that-silva-lied-about-roy-nelson-fight

Two days worth of cards, so like 18 hours of tv, when the best thing on it is going to be two guys fighting over who deserves to be the UFC’s #6 flyweight

Joe Warren is the worst commentator i have ever heard just for that one show


was this the white supremacist who turned out to be a convicted child rapist or was strikeforce just really good at picking them?

also if you've got nazis tattoos choosing the nickname White Steel is a little too on the nose

He was a wife-beating child rapist Nazi, not just the garden variety Nazi pedophile GBS poster

Remember when Overeem ducked a pee test and the NAC gave him a license anyway on the condition he be subjected to a test at a later date, then the next time he was in Nevada for a presser he pretended to be deaf and fled the pee collectors, then the UFC (I’m remembering it was Dana) made him go back in the building and he failed the pee test and the fight fell through?

im racking my brain to think of a worse card for a major promotion in modern mma history than the bellator one next week http://mmajunkie.com/events/bellator-196

Bellator cards are usually weaker than WSOF or whatever it’s called now except for the eight times a year they have 50 year old retired UFC fighters on.

yeah but this one seems especially weird to have an event with 6 (maybe 5?) fights on it in Budapest. There's no strategy at all here except maybe it's cheaper to fly in some of these european fighters to hungary but at that point you are really penny pinching. and even with that, isn't it just more expensive to fly out a crew/announcers/cage to there? I just don't get it at all. If they were just trying to fill the cheapest 2 hours of tv that they could with recognizable headliners, i would just do it in north dakota and hire all local fighters or something.

I genuinely cannot understand Bellator’s international strategy one little bit. It basically just seems to be “go to countries the UFC hasn’t”, but I can’t see how this card benefits Bellator’s bottom line or their position in Hungary. Like the UFC usually won’t hold a card unless it’s better than local MMA promotions, but I can’t see how this is bigger than Crazy Istvan’s Fight Night. Unless Crazy Istvan is co promoting and all the fighters but Bendo and Huerta were arranged by the local Hungarian promoter, but I still don’t see why Bellator bothers flying their guys to Hungary.

I'll always always remember this one of the strangest falls from grace for a pro MMA fighter. Some guys sell drugs or take up acting. Brett Rogers took up bathroom molestation.

Chael is going to keep his chin tucked and try to pointbox fedor. Is chael as good a striker as fabio maldonado? Probably not but i’m ready to find out.

Does Fedor punch harder than Rampage? Chael said rampage hit him harder than he’s ever been hit before.

prior to that he said Bisping hit him harder than he’d ever been hit so perhaps you should not listen to anything chael says
