I like how Bellator become the NA main stage for the Russian MMA fighters and 3 Russian fighters in a main card just prove of my words.
@Vasya For awhile they recruited Poland the hardest, but now they’re looking at Russians thanks to Shelmenko’s success.
@Chris Leslie
I already put some input regarding last event In the Results topic. Agree Shelmenko’s success has a lot to do with why we see so many Russian fighters, but can easy changed, if they don’t take the training more seriously and stop relying just on “Русский авось” ***. Event’s 74 – 76 were not bad “debut” with some small warnings, however 77 become big disaster.
“***” – Wiki explanation link is here : http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%8C
@vasya I do agree with you there. Russian fighters will often abandon a gameplan for a “let’s see who the better man is”-type mentality. Shelemenko actually trained/trains several of the Russians that Bellator signed. They certainly need to evolve or it’s До свидания to them. Not everyone can take the beatings that Фёдор Влади́мирович could!
