It really sucks that no matter how great Nick Newell does...as soon as someone beats the gently caress out of him it's going to make terrible terrible headlines and probably crossover like mad. The even shittier thing is that strikes me as a legit reason to keep him out of the UFC :smith:.

Greg Savage from Sherdog said that there are STILL Athletic Commissions that wouldn't sanction a fight featuring Newell, which is crazy, since he has held his own in his own and is still undefeated.

Huh, since when was this a middleweight/catchweight whatever bout?



Gesias Cavalcante (155.6) vs. Melvin Guillard (159.4)

Melvin continues to be a gently caress up

I really have no idea how Gina would make more money with Bellator than UFC, and there's no way Gina is trying to get back into fighting as a career instead of a quick payday, so until there's an official press release I don't buy it.

if there's one thing we know, Scott Coker isn't above backing up the Brinks truck to a fighter's driveway and just unloading until they say "when"

Given he just destroyed a pretty high profile porn star, he probably cost a lot of unsavory folks with ties to prison a lot of money so prison won't be kind to him...going out via Cops is probably the best option.

I can't believe that my opinion on Bellator has done a 180 in a matter of weeks. All they need now is copromoting shows with OneFC.

If the rumor of Alvarez getting his release is true then we're getting a pretty clear outline of Coker and his team trying to put a fresh coat of paint on Bellator. Which is good for a number of reasons, as you have been hearing rumblings that getting involved with Bellator just last year was essentially signing your life away with no real possibility of pursuing other options.

Buying Strikeforce made sense from a pure talent perspective. How many fighters would you say that are in Bellator could conceivably be of the same caliber?

Hardly any, man.

Maybe probably nothing, but Lorenzo just started following Michael Chandler on Twitter. Now, I can't imagine they'd actually let him go, but he did the same thing a few days prior to absorbing Invicta's strawweight division

Even though it has been explained to me on these boards, I still cannot comprehend why people find Joey Beltran "personable" or why they want to watch his fights.

Personable is a bit iffy but the Mexicutioner is the loving man and I'm flabbergasted that there is a person who follows MMA that doesn't think the same
