You know, we've been doing this mma thing for awhile, but I don't think I've ever heard of this happening. Can anyone cite a precedent or similar situation?

I'm genuinely concerned I may have just watched someone die.

It didn't help that the highly trained Oplot medical staff were like shaking him and spraying water and poo poo on him, and then didn't have a stretcher to carry him out (still unconscious like 10 minutes later) so they just kind of all grabbed a limb and carried him out

If anyone is seriously planning on becoming a Bellator Seat Filler this weekend, you can also catch this:

quote:

Bellator MMA is offering fans this Thursday (Feb. 26, 2015) at the Dave & Busters in Manchester, Connecticut. Starting at 7 p.m. ET, fans will be able to queue up to meet MMA legends like Fedor Emelianenko, Royce Gracie, Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock.

Even the newly-signed Kimbo Slice will be in the house.

The "Bellator Fan Fest" is completely free and open to the public, with fans being encouraged to attend to get autographs from their favorite fighters as well as photographs -- as time and availability allows.

All of this is, of course, building up to the supercard taking place on Friday (Feb. 27) at the Mohegan Sun Arena in nearby Uncasville. Bellator is bringing a slew of big tilts featuring British fighters, including the undefeated Liam McGeary challenging Bellator light heavyweight champion "The Hardcore Kid" Emanuel Newton, feared welterweight striker Paul "Semtex" Daley facing Andre Santos, and the undefeated Michael "Venom" Page facing Curtis Millender.


You could probably get yourself a decent, cheap, b-league trip out of the whole thing.

My mate just interviewed Melvin Guillard on his podcast. He was super late to the interview and hard to get on the phone, but once he started talking, he went completely nuclear on WSOF. I won't go into any more detail until he edits and releases the episode but was just curious;

I thought WSOF had a pretty good reputation as an org and everything I have heard about Ali is positive (MMA Hour interviews are my only exposure). Is Melvin just jilted or is WSOF not as rosie as I thought?

Talent is never going to be fully satisfied because everyone thinks they should make more money, and Melvin is extremely immature anyway, but maybe he does have some legitimate gripes. I assume he has an exclusive contract and WSOF isn't putting on cards as regularly as the UFC so maybe he is having a hard time getting fights (and getting paid).

My take - M-1 want a bidding war between Bellator and the UFC so they can get the biggest contract possible, so Vadim's walking back all their non-monetary demands.

If Cyborg and Rousey both fight in November, then their schedules are going to more or less align and they'll be fighting in probably 6-9 months after that barring Cyborg losing or something.

There hasn't been enough non-ironic joy about Fedor coming back.

I thought his suit was dapper and he had twenty eight times more expression than usual. Which means nearly no expression was showing.

I thought it was kind of interesting that a lot of the common folk on Reddit are finally coming around to the fact that Fedor is a huge coward. I figure at this rate, it'll only be a few more years until they figure out how much of a racist he is too.

It's not as if Fedor is saying he's #1 best HW in world anymore though. At this stage in his career it's probably better to think of him more the way that people think of Roy Jones now. Nobody gives Roy Jones poo poo for fighting regional guys and club fighters to make a bit of extra cash and stay active. If Fedor can get paid a literal wheelbarrow full of rubles for crushing a SuperFightLeague can, all the power to him.

We saw Rousey just wrecking girls and making the UFC a ton of money for it. If Cyborg outmatches the whole division, thats not necessarily a fatal flaw, the UFC could easily build her up as this unbeatable monster.

The only thing that would give me pause is if you are convinced that she is on a whole lot of PED's and wouldn't pass a USADA random test, then maybe it would be risky to build a division for her.

Also all the girls they get to fight cyborg at 145 could make 135

I'm honestly surprised Cerrone hasn't gone over. I don't know what the ufc is paying him but a few hundred eyes watching him bash up a b-league guy and immediately crack open a bud lite has to be worth serious money.

My best guess is that Bellator puts on significantly less fights than UFC and he likes to fight all the time.
