Trying to relive the glory of coming out of complete obscurity to knock out Lil Nog when he was easily a top 10 light heavyweight. What a crazy upset.

And arona. Back to back. Amazing

However arona lost because he had *rummages through filing cabinet* jungle fever so bad he had to retire. So. Fight doesnt count

In the promo for the fight it was just arona running barefoot through the jungle and hanging out with tigers, then immediately after he got knocked out he was like "somehow i ended up with dengue fever. Who can say how" and then that was the end of ricardo arona

They've spent a lot on building up their LHW division but don't really have any good HWs other than, uh, Nelson? If they got some big scary Bob Sapp type cans and matched them up with MW/LHWs for some kind of Absolute Undisputed Superweight championship, it might get some eyeballs. I've never watched Bellator at all other than Chandler/Alvarez 2 but I would probably tune into Melvin Manhoef vs Roy Nelson

Actually the ufc offered him a deal that was less guaranteed money but had higher earning potential if he won his fights. Ben publicly said that he didnt think he would be winning fights, so he took the bellator deal. And by god he was right

It's not like a real thing. Pretty sure that was Ricky The Dragon Steamboat's move in WWF

man, what the hell happened to Benson? At one point he was regarded as a well rounded insanely technical guy. Now he's just really bad. Last few fights felt like his striking volume was way down.

He was a solid grappler who was huge. His striking was always not great, but he threw a lot of side kicks/low kicks that people had trouble figuring out. He narrowly defeated frankie edgar, a tiny man who cries when he gets hit, in fights where nothing happened. He crushed nate diaz, but not as badly as joe stevenson did. He lost the josh thomson fight. Then people figured him out a bit and now hes gonna have a lot of trouble against anyone decent who isnt really physically weak

I agree with dunc that no heavyweights from 10 years ago will pass through the never good scrutiny. Its ok to look back at what fedor actually did do and judge him to be cool. Its also ok to say that he almost got arm barred by mark hunt. When mark hunt didnt know how to do an armbar

Trigg, Aoki, alfonso, pulver hansen gomi (in order), danzig. His losses to anderson and hughes were cool as well. I forget if the diaz fight was good.

lol, for context aoki is basically the colby covington of japan (posts on twitter saying all foreigners smell bad, etc) and recently has been posting about how even though sakurai beat him twice he's better than him, and calling him fat. then he went to sakurai's show and took a camera crew into his dressing room sarcastically showing respect and, well
