Thats more titles and events than the great Affliction has had by that day like 9times the # of events
F~WAMMA
Plus Bellator has, in my mind, the KO of the year AND the sub of the year in the bag.
@dbiz,
The standing inverted triangle choke is definatly the front-runner for sub of the year…
Good events and great fights. GO WAMMA!!
