The quality of card Bellator puts together still isn't on par - despite protestations in this thread the last two or three ppvs have been really loving good.

Wasn't there a guy with a 0-0-0 record on the ppv card last weekend?

Like, yeah bellator has made huge strides but it's still lacking talent

Not that he's wrong but poo poo like this is what makes it tough to get hyped for fights

Edit: That was an ugly tony quote from the video posted above - he comes across as a huge baby and is going all tough guy on a bunch of journalists

yeah i watched that video and him getting all lovely that these guys are doing their jobs and literally helping him promote himself and make more money is a bad look

Khabib has fought rangy south paws. McGregor has never fought anyone like Khabib. There’s nothing special about McGregor’s striking. There is with Khabib’s grappling, though.

If Conor wins we'll get beebs vs Pettis/Tony before his next fight. If Conor loses, there will be an immediate rematch

The UFC has shown time and time again they want certain people to be champa and they get rematches they don't deserve because of that

Is Lewis like actually healthy?

He says he's drastically changed his diet and training. Supposedly before he would hit the gym a couple times a week, now he says he's full time. He appears to have lost a lot of weight and has packed on more muscle.

He also says he just got a steroid shot in his back a couple weeks back and should be good.

I'm a big fan of Lewis and I don't think his fight will look like the last one no matter what happens.

Lewis needs to train for a while. If he's to be believed he trains for an hour a day and is the first to admit he has 0 cardio. In his post fight he said he wasn't ready for championship caliber fights even though he's #2

As much as I loooooove Derrick Lewis, it's loving insane a guy with as little technical ability as he has is ranked that highly

Heavyweight is sad as gently caress

The beginning of this clip is one of those looks to the side that Khabib kept doing. It looks like he's looking at someone talking poo poo from Conor's corner.

That happened repeatedly. He'd look over with a very wtf look on his face. I was wondering if it was rockhold doing something weird with his hands ringside

I'm actually curious as to how she manages to travel for as many cards as she does! I think she sees more live MMA than anyone else in Rotten Ringsports.

the only live mma i've seen is in gyms i've never been to an actual fight
