Anyone who wasn't watching just missed Akihiro Gono winning a fight in 2014 and is therefore a Bad Person.

Given that they've worked together before and Bellator is willing to book people in their 50s I have to assume the endgame here is Fedor/Couture

That's about eight times too many fans to be realistic also the cage and ring should be interconnected and if you successfully maneuver your opponent between them you have to change which rules you're fighting by

1st AD posted:Yeah I would be interested in seeing him vs. Chandler and Brooks, but their welterweight division sucks. I think a non-negligible part of Benson going to Bellator is the fact that he can probably run the table at 170 there now that he's discovered how wonderful it is not to cut weight.

Triticum Guzzler posted:Sergei is a good pickup for a bad division because he can mop up some clowns in fatly devstating fashion. On the other hand Fight Nights is trying to set up a fight between him and Minakov which could mess things up. Isn't Minakov fighting in Fight Nights instead of over here due to visa issues? I wonder if they'd just strip him so Coker could live his dream of putting the belt back on a Pride guy. also, the Bellator heavyweight title has existed for more than half a decade and has had a grant total of five fights and that will never stop being funny to me

Iif I had to venture a guess I'd say whatever that is was born out of 5'9" Jeff Monson wondering "how do I finally figure out how to quickly close distance and hit dudes with a foot of height/reach on me" and putting as much thought into it as he does his politics.

at some point in 2016/17 bellator is going to unironically put on a catchweight TUF rivals fight between Leben and Koscheck and bill it as THE GRUDGE MATCH A DECADE IN THE MAKING and it will do better ratings than any of their title fights for the year

Triticum Guzzler posted:he did about as well as you could expect from a regional promoter, getting a tv deal and cultivating local stars, but the only way this ever does any better than glory is if they get kimbo in there. i mean they're still trying to push giblert's wife... yeah, unless someone wants to blow money on it for two decades to build a fanbase I just can't see kickboxing ever doing much better here than Glory already did and I have to assume Spike will give up on it in about as much time unless they do just make it an insane nonsense league where Kimbo fights Hong-Man Choi with co-main event LEGENDS KICKBOXING SHOWDOWN: RENZO GRACIE VS PAT MILETICH in which case get Mark Cuban on the phone and air it forever

I might have to resubscribe at some point They've had Shooto events since last Fall but they only announced acquiring rights to the library a couple days ago, so "later this year" it'll be up but they only have Shooto Brazil stuff right now. And like 10 early Pancrase events, for some reason.

Compared to how he used to look Kron seemed like a genuinely capable MMA fighter there, with some good Diazesque boxing moments, so it will be fun to see him fight only Japanese lightweights for the rest of his career. That was a lot of fun and I cannot wait for World MMA Champion Baruto.
