War Machine thinks he's cursed? Corey Thomas goes on a reality TV show that gets cancelled because of a murder, fucks a porn star then gets friend zoned so hard his desperate rear end is sleeping with her while they're both fully clothed. Guy is allegedly a millionaire and he can't get a prostitute to gently caress him. That's fuckin cursed.

Everyone involved is such an idiot that I can comfortably laugh at the whole thing without really feeling bad for any of them.

Victims of domestic abuse definitely deserve to be laughed at. You're cool.

Doesn't the Viacom factor make this extremely unlikely?

If Spike decides the key demo numbers aren't worth the losses or they decide to rebrand it could happen. It's not as unlikely as it seems.

Letting Alvarez go is one thing, but if they're letting Michael Chandler go then they might as well not even have a lightweight division. So I'd wager it's nothing.

They've traded Chandler for Thomson. Arlovski for Thompson is also on the table.

My end of the night thought:
Bellator should bring back the 8 man one night tournaments. The stake is a 3 fight contract in Bellator. Market them like the Challengers cards.

You can't without special permission from commissions and significantly changing the rules so fighters don't for more than a certain amount of time that night. I'm pretty sure only the sketchiest commissions will approve it too. It's rough and the fight quality ends up pretty bad in any recent one night tournament I can think of.

This is just bizarre. This sounds like a Chuck Liddell kind of job, but Bellator isn't really making a ton of money so I don't get it.

Their events lose tons of money and the only way to make money is to lose money so they need to lose more.

The Bellator show Saturday night set a ratings, gate, and attendance record for Bellator. 1.8 million viewers for Tito/Bonnar (the fight itself), but may have peaked at 2 million. Number two MMA show in all of TV for 2014 and number two for its timeslot in the 18-49 demo.

In other words, it was a massive success.

Number 2 on cable, it is obviously behind all of the UFC on Fox specials.

I had a lot of fun at the CES show at Twin Rivers last night. It's worth catching a replay of the Dan Lauzon fight to see a hilarious knockout. There's a great round of trashweight later on too. Main event is skippable although it is slightly fantastic to hear an announcer overemphasize how this is for a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP and then declare the challenger is #4 in New England.

I totally understand why they won't do it, but it's really a shame that Ronda just won't fight her at 145. Even if Cyborg does make 135 by some miracle, the cut will be so rough that I'm sure people will just discount it anyways when she loses.

It's really a shame that Cyborg decided to bulk up in the last two years and walk around at 175 instead of losing weight. Given that Cyborg has now stated she can make 135 Rousey should never ever go to 145 for this.

Yeah, considering the "talent" I think Bellator did reasonable. I'm under the impression that people that think 'MMA' think of 'UFC' and thats the end of the thought.

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.
