I will be hosting another Full Metal Dojo rewatch tonight at 8PM ET. It will include some Trinity Rules bouts, which is FMD's special ruleset:

round 1 is boxing

remember Bellator's Featherweight GP? the weird one where the champ actually participated and defended his belt throughout? you probably don't, because it got totally screwed up by the 'rona, but they've finally got it back up and running and thus Thursday's card should be pretty fun. Patricio Pitbull Freire, said champ, is going against Pedro Carvalho in a title fight, with Emmanuel Sanchez vs Daniel Weichel being the co-main and the other QF matchup. next week's the first semifinal of the tournament, AJ McKee vs Darion Caldwell.

This is not what I loving expected to find when I went to look up the details of Werdum's USADA thing to make sure I wouldn't be making poo poo up in saying that they both got popped by USADA, which by the way UFC has only had since June 2015 so Werdum's extra time at the UFC before that kinda doesn't mean anything for those numbers.

But uhhhh yeah holy poo poo.

So, exactly how badly is Bellator doing right now? Surely Viacom should have been willing to put up the money for Werdum vs Fedor 2?

Yeah so all of this is confusing. It feels like the PFL is in deep poo poo right now having cancelled all events and I think they're getting sued by someone aren't they? I'm not sure what the status of any of that is anymore, I haven't heard them actually announce new shows.

Bellator is still putting on events somewhat regularly, but Fedor hasn't fought since last year, he gave an interview right after his last fight in Japan saying he's doing a retirement tour wanting to do 1 fight in Japan (done), one in the US and one in Russia. I don't think Fedor will fight without a crowd present.

I think Bellator's issue partially is they don't have the reach to casuals. I know a few converts from Rhonda and from McGregor but the average joe doesn't know what Bellator is and I've never been asked about it. I'll get asked by everyone I work with about McGregor when he has a fight coming up but I've never even been asked what Bellator is.

Wow, I didn't expect the hooligans to be from my neck of the wood. Other than the encouraging screams of "headbutt him!", which are typically replaced by screams of "[be] hungry!", the shirtless yelling man is a pretty accurate representation of about half the people that attend local MMA shows here. This seems a lot more dangerous and dumb than our actual MMA events, though.

B-League Weekend Write-Up

Thursday - Bellator 253

How to watch: Bellator.com, Bellator app, Bellator's youtube channel, CBS Sports Network

What to watch:

- Baby Slice!

- Joey Davis, and undefeated wrassle prospect, who's shown to be pretty good

- Bendo Hendo!

:woop: - Darrion Caldwell vs AJ McKee in Featherweight GP action :woop:
Caldwell is a very good wrestler, having won the 2009 NCAA championship at 149 pounds. He's also the former Bellator bantamweight champ, though he lost that title to Kyoji Horiguchi.

AJ McKee is another of Bellator's top prospects, and has remained undefeated. He's also a 2nd generation fighter, with his dad, Antonio McKee amassing a respectable 30-6-2 record. AJ's much more of a finisher than his dad ever was, matching Antonio's career mark of 9 stoppage wins in just 13 bouts.

Friday - Invicta 43

How to watch: UFC Fight Pass

What to watch:

- Judoka star Kayla Harrison is attempting to drop to 145 and take on slightly more realistic competition than PFL's women's lightweight division

- Vacant strawweight title fight: Emily Ducote vs Montserrat Ruiz

Ducote and Ruiz are both riding one-fight winning streaks. This is Ducote's 2nd crack at the vacant Invicta 115lb title, having previously lost a split decision to Kanako Murata. Ducote also fell to Bellator's Ilima-Lei Macfarlane for the inaugural bantamweight title over there. Ruiz pulled off a scarfhold armlock in her last bout, so she's got my full support (She also revealed that she was wearing a wrestling singlet under her rashguard top and shorts, which is also pretty neat)

Saturday- Full Metal Dojo 20: Fight Circus volume 2

How to watch: CamSoda

What to watch:

- EVERYTHING

The first Fight Circus event was weird and bizarre, and the commentary was gross at times, and some of the "big vs little" fights were kind of mediocre. But all the weird poo poo, like 2 vs1 or "kicking only" was amazing, and FMD has said they will be doing more 2 vs 1 and maybe even 3 vs 1, and a "Spinning poo poo Only" fight, so I am excited, and you should also be excited for Fight Circus volume 2
