I imagine they will feed him a series of one and doners culminating in a cheick kongo re match. 16 hours ago, bigg jay said: He'll be good for Bellator. He had more skill when he was younger (yet still in terrible shape) but got lazy the last couple of years. One trick pony now. His wrestling is really an incredible skill. But he went full johny hendricks. The amount of potential this guy has wasted and type of bad fighter meme he has become is sickening. The last time he was in shape was in college. Id much rather have seen bellator go around and over pay young guys like gaethje then re circulate old trash. They seem to be trying to do both, which I gotta credit them for atleast trying. Bellator has more rational fight match ups. (aside from money reasons) Which is soo sad. In other news, GSP announced his UFC return being pushed back is due to eye injuries. If his come back never happens i wont be sad. I love the guy and what he has done for the sport and the sport in canada. I dont want to see him get BJ penn'd. Germaine de Randamie is doing a full on floyd mayweather trying to run from cybro. Said she would rather get stripped then fight her. Cmon man, if you go into that division you have to know you are gonna go back down, leave the ufc, or fight her. I hate this type of running from the best contender junk. Paper champions refusing to fight the best challenger crippled boxing for me. They need to straighten out match making in the UFC. More then they need to deal with shotty rules and commissions. NYSAC has changed rules to no prevent cormier like cheating. Even though they had them in place to begin with and just slept on it. And the UFC signed gokhan saki. Its a bit of a freak show move, but my kind of freakshow move. Itll be interesting to see what weight division he fights in. Down 20 ish to LHW makes the most sense imop. Though HW is pretty soft. And fights with some of the bottom of the top 10 guys, the has been strikers would be fun to watch. Hope he is working none stop on his take down D.
Brandon Posted May 28, 2017 Report Posted May 28, 2017 Bellator signs guys like Roy Nelson because he will bring way more eyes then Gaethje. The ratings Kimbo and Ken Shamrock would bring are way higher then obscure prospects. I'm sure Sonnens next match will give them a real high rating.

Chael allways sells fights like crazy its what he does.
wbbfan Posted June 3, 2017 Report Posted June 3, 2017 The long awaited aldo holloway tilt tonight. Im a holloway fan, cant believe people bet on him as the favorite for a while though. Karolina kowalkiewicz vs claudia gadelha for first place loser to joanna champion. I cant see a 3rd gadelha JJ fight any time soon so im hoping karolina wins.
bigg jay Posted June 3, 2017 Report Posted June 3, 2017 I know a bunch of people who are betting huge on Holloway. I can't say I disagree with them. Claudia/Joanna is very similar to Miesha/Ronda. A 3rd match is really hard to sell but at the same time, if Claudia earned her way back to the top, how do you deny her? wbbfan 1

Now you cant deny claudia, idk who else she could beat? Dont like it but there just isnt much else to challenge JJ or claudia. Man soo happy for holloway! what a fight too! event got kinda slow with vitors fight but the rest of the card was pretty good. No leg kicks at all, was aldo betting on holloway too?!

wbbfan Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 Only tuned in tnite to watch derrick lewis vs mark hunt. Lewis looked good for about a round and a half. Then he looked kimbo vs dada5000 2.0
bigg jay Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 Just saw that... hope he pulls through. He was recently talking about making a comeback after 6 years of retirement. wbbfan 1

Some terrible news out of Edmonton. Braidwood fought & knocked out former UFC fighter Tim Hague last night. Hague had a seizure in the locker room & slipped into a coma. He has since been declared brain dead. It was at least his 7th KO since Aug 2015 so people are asking why he was even cleared to fight. The commission there has been a disaster waiting to happen for years and unfortunately it's finally happened.

Brandon Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 Just read the bad news... It really baffles me why one would keep fighting after continuously getting KO'd (specially at HW). As much as the commission is at fault, I think half the blame should be on Hague for going on getting his brains mushed just for really tiny pay cheques... wbbfan 1
bigg jay Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 Lots of blame to go around. Promoters should be included as well. It's sad because a lot of people had been telling him to hang up the gloves before it's too late and then it happened. He had actually announced his retirement (twice iirc) but kept coming back. wbbfan 1

Yeah, some people hyped this as the best mma card of the year. My expectations were low and i was still slightly disappointing. Rizin needs to get the old guys who refuse to hang em up, let em juice to their hearts content then fight pride style.

Not many high lights, a lot of low lights, one brown light. It wasnt just bellator weirdness though, any time BJ penn fights that qualifies too. fatty hendricks missing weight by like 3.5 pounds and still getting ktfo. Over all it was a weekend with a lot of fights and a lot of fighters id rather never see fight again. It seems like once a year at some level or another an mma fighter poops the mat. literally.
Brandon Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Just watched the card today.... How does Mario Yamasaki still find work in the UFC... the guy is as bad if not worse then Mazagatti. Terrible call at the end. Also how does Hendricks miss weight? The guy doesn't look the same without his super vitamins.... Also the poop fight was adequate but not as squirty as this guy:

Mazz and yama need to be banished from any pro refing. Hendricks is such a joke. That guy needs his walking papers.
