Despite what Bas said in the fourth round it kinda does look like Moraes doesn't really want to hurt the guy anymore

I think the Korean guy also had to borrow shorts to actually fight because he was just there to corner somebody else. Mach also missed weight for his own show, causing Shamar Bailey to refuse to fight and Mach to have to fight somebody who was like 15 pounds heavier than him.

Attila Vegh is the guy that Bellator pretended had a shoulder injury so they could do a Newton/King Mo rematch. Then the Attila/Newton match happened a year later and was very bad.

He actually wore two masks, just in case you could see through the hood and recognize him before the big reveal

I don't know anything about Herring other than that he was supposed to be good in PRIDE and that Lesnar couldn't finish him despite mauling him for 15 minutes.

This is something that every MMA fan should know about Heath Herring.

So he won't let go of a submission until he's pulled off of his opponent but thinks he has a TKO as soon as a ref gets close. Is there no middle ground with Paul Harris?

Bustamante tried using this incident to prove that Palhares isn't actually bad, because he claimed that Dan Miller was screaming "stop" and that's why Palhares showed mercy and started celebrating. Miller denied saying anything.

also even though i know he's sub-usa kickboxing heavyweight level, hyun man myung has been beating up fat guys in mma and looks like he might fit in at bellator

the remaining participants in this tournament of dreams are: hong man choi, mighty mo, really fat chinese guy

They announced the next round of the tournament, it's Hong Man Choi vs. Chinese guy and Mighty Mo vs. Hyun Man Myung. Mo was supposed to fight that guy in the first round but they changed it to him beating up Choi Mu Bae for the second straight event, and Hong Man Choi looks so frail now that it's actually pretty sad to see him getting in the ring still.

Mizuki Inoue missed weight for a fight in Deep and the way they punished her was to have the fight go on as planned, and when Inoue won with an armbar they just declared her the loser by DQ instead.

I'm actually surprised they matched Gabi with somebody who is actually pretty big (even though she's a pro wrestler with minimal training) instead of sending in a tiny Japanese woman in a special openweight attraction.
