Why is this only 3 rounds? Rampage too fat for 5?

King Mo is so bad and its really sad that Bader wanted to fight him.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!

Mo probably won that 29-28, right?

Wow.... I, uh.... I think King Mo won that fight.

I assumed he was dead when his takedowns were stuffed and he gassed after 3 minutes in the 3rd round, but Rampage didn't really do poo poo, he landed a few shots, but King Mo may have been smart enough to realize Rampage was not capitalizing, and he emptied his tank on wild tired offense.

Bellator doesn't do 5 Rounds for every Main Event, unlike UFC

hah, I KNEW that the crowd would be angry, this was a very stupid, uneducated MMA crowd. They probably thought "hah, King Mo failed to wrestle in round 3, that means he loses!" Well no, Rampage successfully defended, but he did not actually win the round, he only kept himself from losing through 3 minutes in the 3rd round, but King Mo outstruck him at the end.

Nah, it was alright.

Fire King Mo into the sun or make him fight and middleweight though.

The card as a whole was fine, just the main event that wasn't interesting but even then King Mo did his gameplan right. He stopped Jackson from doing any serious striking for 3 rounds more or less. It's really funny that Bader wanted to fight King Mo and King Mo hasn't looked all too stellar from what I remember. That is pretty comical. The fact Bellator spent so much time talking about how amazing Bader was is also funny to me, as is how they kept talking about what the UFC did, does, or is doing which I never got because that's just giving your competitor free ad space on your product.

Overall not bad, just a lackluster finish to the event.

I would argue constantly reminding people that the UFC exists during your broadcast will remind them that your broadcast quality isn't as good as your competitor's.

Speaking of Rizin. I was looking around and May actually be able to go to their July card this year. Flights from Korea are mega cheap apparently.

LFA main event tonight. "I'm so bored I want to stab myself in the eye with my pen, just to have something to do."

e: or not main event. Whatever. When they go into it calling it the "feature fight of the night" or something I'd call it a reasonable assumption.

Was that the Kansas City event where Alex Lima just won? He was from my old BJJ gym so I'm curious about finding footage.

Lol Bellator lied theres actually a tape delay of like 20 mins on this card being shown in the US. So some Aussie has already tweeted out the results to the Manhoef fight.

Fair enough. I just skimmed the second before I shipped it off to my SO.

Went through a phase of buying fighter auto biographies, and now I'm not sure what the hell I was thinking. I even have Matt Hughes's. What the hell is wrong with me.
