It's still not as outrageous as K-1 WGP Champion Mirko CroCop.

Didn't they bring in Lombard without really "legitimizing" Bellator?

They wanted to bring in Alvarez too I'm not sure why Askren gets the rough treatment.

But not close enough that being good at one passively helps you be good at the other.

Yeah it seems like malnourished second-world dudes fight with 2/3 of the fight being a guy unable to finish a triangle.

Did you link the right fight?

Just Gaethje is pretty cool, and hopefully Rumble can loving murder noted garbage-person Mike Kyle.

Are you making the thread? I have an old training partner on the prelims and I want to know how to watch!

Who is the training partner?

Scott Barrett:


I use the term somewhat loosely (or at least in a pretty uncompetitive manner). He is so much bigger than me but sometimes there wouldn't be anyone training that was bigger than me but less than him and guess who got to train with him?

I remember one time he was getting ready for a fight and he said he wanted to make sure he had the cardio so he ground and pounded me for 15 minutes. It was great awful.

My MMA twitter success/failure story is I woke up and saw Shane Carwin proposing various Stikeforce/UFC matchups and I tweeted something like "lol that'll never happen" and he replied "now that Dana owns both, why not?" and that's how I learned Strikeforce got bought out.

Oh and Chael gave me first time home buyer advice.

With Lawlor v.s. Brown this weekend a lot of B league hype is going unnoticed.

Just a reminder that Phil Baroni and Karo Parisyan will be fighting on July 25.

They say that every cigarette takes so many minutes off your life my goal for the next few days is to smoke as fast as possible that I transport myself back in time about 9-10 years so watching this fight become a relevant match-up.

This is probably the worst fight because whoever loses in going to have another mental breakdown and despite their flaws I like them both enough to not want them to be put in that sort of situation :(

Also the one episode I watched, his idiot sons were running around with paintball guns full of pepper spray.

I know a little about bond recovery (bounty hunting) and most agents I've met carry real guns for the real danger involved. Dog, on the other hand, is a convicted felon so he has to improvise.

Bellator will be a Zuffa property in 18 months.
Could they be liable at that point for an anti-trust lawsuit?

If I remember correctly (and I probably don't) some people brought that up when they bought Strikeforce but the response was "hey don't worry there's still Bellator".

I mean, I guess there's WSOF but I'd be nervous about buying Bellator even if it's awful and needs to be bought up.

But then again nobody gives a poo poo about NFL,MLB,NHL,NBA,etc.

Favorite Mighty Mo'ment was when Barnett kicked him in the balls 4 seconds into their fight of Dream 13. Barnett spent the next 20 minutes standing in his corner while more and more Japanese doctors came to fondle his balls (at one point even covering him with a towel).

He said "gently caress it , I'm done" and more and more Japanese businessmen came by presumably to throw him more money so their co-main event actually happens.

Holy gently caress, I thought Cody was going to be the undersized guy. I didn't know he moved up 3 weight classes. Thought maybe he'd do some no-cut/low-cut slumdog lightweight fights for rent money or something but Jesus. He's the anti Kenny Florian.

He used to train at my gym from time to time.

Sometimes we'd be training and he'd be the biggest guy in the room.

What's worse is that sometimes I was the second biggest guy in the room.


(usually he brought his buddy with him who is much better suited : http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Scott-Barrett-39344)

Dave Vitkay is the man!

Fun fact: Legacy will be held at "Wild Bill's", home of Wild Bill's Fight Night.

It's also being co-promoted with the Wild Bills Fight Night promoter (who saw the writing on the wall that his promotion was named something stupid and hence changed it to NFC), noted narcissist "Dana White of Atlanta" David Oblas.

Hopefully the Legacy people are doing the bulk of the production but if Oblas has his way be prepared to see his buddy (a 50 year old man with a pony tail) incorrectly read the results of the fights.

Noted highlights include:
-And the winner by judges decision... Jake Roberts!!! ........I'm sorry folks , my mistake, the real winner is Alex Brown!!!!!.
-And the winner by a kimura choke... Jason Cooper!
