He did, but that was one person as opposed to a whole promotion. Plus Randy doesn’t wear everlast gloves in the octagon because the UFC has their own brand. Fairtex did the same thing a few years ago. Seems like Bellator is trying to go the way of most major sports and set up major [...]

Dan Hardy is a punk, and I don’t mean that as an insult. It’s a lifestyle, he believes everyone above him is against him and so he’s outspoken against it. Plus this is all head games, GSP has admitted himself he’s not been “all there” for fights because he gets distracted. Hardy I’m sure is [...]

heck yeah, he’s a great guy. He was my drill partner for a few sessions when we used to go to camp at Ok State.

I dare someone to lock up w/ Cormier… I’ve done it… ended with me needing a stewardess and a free inflight meal…

haha other than one or two guys in Bellator they really are becoming the minor leagues for MMA. Most of the guys they’re signing have less than 10 fights but a ton of upside. I haven’t seen Oliveira fight yet but have heard his name pop up as a guy to watch from a lot [...]

Sweet, I like this signing. I hope he’s able to gain some traction in a loaded division.

honestly, i’ve always felt the coaching is/could be a little better when they aren’t fighting. though it does add a little to the tv entertainment aspect when they do fight.

I have been wondering about an injury myself. It is very possible that it occured in training. In all honesty I see that as the most likely issue.

let me just say if god was a city planner he wouldn’t put a playground next to a sewage system…

wow, why do we have reviews again???

Not that I have expected to see much turnover with the decisions but this is one I thought deserved to be overturned.

While anyone under a banner is a puppet in some way, Fedor is not much more than the best escort at a whorehouse. He gets paid well and taken care of but he’s still the one who has to take the punishment for his handlers to get paid. Don’t kid yourself into thinking Fedor runs [...]

You cannot legally reduce a purse once a contract has been signed unless otherwise specified in the contract which no fighter would agree to. PRIDE HAD a great stable of fighters and still ended up being bought out so what does that tell you?

Ok I’ve been one of the biggest detractors of Kimbo from day one but where is this Matt Mitrione looks like the better fighter coming from? The guy has only one career fight to his name and on the show he was 1-1 w/ a close split decision win over Junk and a guillotine loss. [...]

he will make it in the UFC as long as he has no aspirations of having a title

yeah it’s pretty obvious when you watch it again he couldn’t see, not taking anything away from Benavidez because he lit Torres up a few times. Hope he heals up soon.

Rogers is getting that shot because Fedor has refused to fight Overeem unless Overeem comes to a place with an Athletic Commission.

Also Werdum is tied up in what is believed to be his eventual fight w/ Fedor. Rogers is not a choice but a lack of options.

Plus, if say Rogers were to beat Overeem, [...]

While I’m not arguing that that could be smart CBS isn’t exactly going to allow them the flexibility in their scheduling considering they are covering the Masters the week before and the week after they have more golf the following week. That’s the thing about Network deals, you go on their schedule rather than your [...]

good point Kris, didn’t even think about that at first

oh dvr is a beautiful thing… haha

and that’s why this card obviously isn’t for you

It’s for the people that recognize the UFC brand more than they do the fighters, any little bit to chip at the competition right?

I wouldn’t think for a minute that was a gimme fight, Toney knows it would produce ratings Kimbo keeps improving on the ground and still could pull off a Mongo vs Horse type punch.

Toney has been pushing to be in the UFC for years, he’s had other offers but only wants to be in the UFC. He knows it’s the best way to get his name out there rather than fighting with another label.

Also Walker did just decide to try MMA(he was an olympic bobsledder too) one day [...]

Nice!

Interesting move by Bellator, probably best for Konrad though. The guy is an incredible wrestler though and will benefit from a steady transition over to MMA.

I’d disagree only because I think Askren is just as intriguing
