That was a loving rad 1st round

The universe didn't say Newton would get submitted so he just doesn't care about repeatedly diving into McGeary's triangles

That main event was quite good.



I personally scored the fight for McGeary and thought the judges got it right, however, while I feel like I know enough about the standup part of MMA, my grappling knowledge is pretty loving basic and not on the level of alot of the posters here. What did you guys think of the judges call?

I'd have to rewatch it, but at the time I thought that while McGeary definitely should have gotten two rounds because early in the fight Newton was doing absolutely nothing to him while defending sub attempts, I couldn't figure out how they legitimately gave him three.

Bellator has announced several more bouts for its March 27th card in Thackerville, Oklahoma, including a bantamweight bout between veterans LC Davis and Hideo Tokoro.

Davis (22-6) will be fighting for the first time since September, when he decisioned Zeilton Rodrigues at Bellator 124. The 34 year-old is 4-1 in his last 5 fights.

Tokoro (32-27-2) hasn’t fought since July, when he was stopped by Victor Henry at a Grandslam MMA event. The 37 year-old fighter is 2-3 in his last 5 bouts.

Other bouts that have been added to the line-up for Bellator 135 include featherweights Emmanuel Sanchez (9-1) vs. Alejandro Villalobos (17-3), welterweights Sean Holden (2-1) vs. Tim Roman (2-1), middleweights Neal Ewing (5-0) vs. Logan Nail (1-0), heavyweights Rashad Coulter (4-1) vs. Jeremiah O’Neal (13-24), featherweights Stephen Banaszak (3-4) vs. Brad Mitchell (4-1), flyweights Klayton Mai (6-1) vs. Xavier Siller (5-3) and bantamweights J.P. Cole (2-2) vs. Geo Pacurariu (8-4).

Bellator 135 will be headlined by a bantamweight bout between champion Joe Warren and Marcos Galvao.


Davis/Tokoro is the first match on a bellator card I've been genuinely interested in watching for reasons other than schadenfreude in quite a while.

I remember thinking "drat, Tokoro shouldn't fight anymore" a lot when DREAM was still alive, which was several years ago. I hope he's not in desperate need of sick Bellator 2 and 2 paydays.

My predominating thought about Tokoro was always "that is a hosed up record". Didn't Schiavello love to talk about how he was a janitor and lived in a closet or something?

Two old foes are set to meet at Metamoris later this year.

Chael Sonnen will meet Renato "Babalu" Sobral on May 9 at Metamoris VI, according to Sonnen. Metamoris founder Ralek Gracie confirmed the news, as well. Gracie said the event would take place in Los Angeles, but he would not confirm the location just yet. Gracie added that Sonnen vs. Sobral will not serve as the main event, which will be announced in the coming days.

kazuhisa watanabe wasn't exactly a world beater as a boxer but for a guy who was so clearly dedicated to being an "entertainer" he overachieved in getting a meaningless regional title. he's stupid and dangerous, but he owns. his fight with hideo tokoro was hilarious and great.
