Yes, Ryan Bader, this heavyweight tournament featuring Chael Sonnen, Rampage Jackson and Mo Lawal is definitely a less stupid way to get a title shot

It's gonna get lost amidst...basically everything about that result lol, but props to Bellator for the clusterfuck heavyweight tournament I 100% didn't believe nothing would go wrong in. Every advertised fight happened, nobody got pulled and replaced, and we had comedy moments like 4 of the 7 fights not getting past the first round and 3 of them not lasting a minute. I got what I hoped for

They really want him to be a big star/name.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Bader cheated via using the force. More warlock superpowers needed to defeat mighty Fedor.

Yeah, it's still really bizarre to me that they decided to put a ton of money and promotional resources behind this one untested kid, when 99% of their strategy apart from him is "sign UFC castoffs."

Did they play the US anthem for Tim Sylvia at Affliction: Banned? I feel like they did.

They also had a Megadeth show partway through.

Pico is fine and I think he's still a legitimate prospect, but they need to stop doing matchmaking for him as if he's some kind of loving ubermensch and give him matches that are reasonable for a 6-fight prospect in his early 20s. The guy he fought last night had a win streak - all Bellator fights, not Iowa barn fights - longer than Pico's career.

Pico would probably still be undefeated if he were being given reasonable matches for his experience, but no, our ret-... ridiculous hype train requires that our kid's pro debut come against someone with 25 loving fights.

Though if Pico gets KOd like that again he might be wise to reconsider his career.

i think pico wants these fights. bellator books every other prospect against 0-12 losers they can smash. michael page is 30+ years old and like 8-0 in bellator and he hasn't really fought anyone yet.

His managers should be picking better opponents but they're probably trying to cash in.

Do you think they really get paid more if Pico's opponent has a better record?

Nah, but if he beats better competition it's a faster path to title shots and main events, in which case they would.
