Toe Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 12 hours ago, Hellraiser said: We're talking about Bellator here. They also put on the Dada 5000/Kimbo Slice fight and 49-year-old Royce Gracie V 52-year-old Ken Shamrock earlier this year. Even someone with only very superficial MMA knowledge like me knows that they'll put on any freak show fight as long as it gets people to tune in. You'd think after Dada / Kimbo that they would shy away from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Tito and Chael are actual professional mixed martial artists though, not a pair of street fighters who think fight prep is going to McDonalds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they keep bringing over 2 million viewers with freak show fights, they will keep doing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I don't understand how this is a freak show fight, though. It's nothing worse than Hughes / Gracie, Hendo / Vitor 3 or heck, BJ Penn / anyone right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 So Shane Carwin has come out of retirement... and signed with RIZIN. There's rumors he'll be facing Fedor, which sounds awful for Fedor, if Carwin still has that car crash power he used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Quote However, Jones could potentially earn over £50,000 for high-profile victories in the women's UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championships). And with appearance fees and a share of ticket sales included, the potential prize-fund could more than double. Lol, based on what. She could also just potentially earn like £50 million, because that's a number I can pull out of my ass. That's just saying figures for the sake of saying figures. Sound journalism.

Cymbols Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Did anyone catch the Cage Warriors show this past weekend? Awesome show from Newport, and all three Welsh guys won on the main card. Lew Long beating Che Mills puts him in a great position to get a UFC call up this July in Glasgow. Bit disappointed I didn't go honestly, my schedule meant I wouldn't be there in time for the start, which is a shame, because they give the press great levels of access at their shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Che Mills is still fighting? Oh man, remember when he was in a co-main event of a PPV, back when stuff like that actually mattered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Yeah, he's still getting big fights because of his name value (and he's only actually 33), but he's gone 1-5 since leaving the UFC. Got injured and the fight ended after 18 seconds this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Man that sucks. I actually thought he had so much potential back then, up until the point they put him up against Rory and I realised he's just a sacrificial lamb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Bratwurst Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Bellator has signed Mauro Ranallo and Mike Goldberg to announce for multiple events. That will be really fun to listen to and I really hope they put them on some shows that have good fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Quote Details are sketchy, but UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes was airlifted to an area hospital after a truck he was riding in was hit by a moving train earlier today according to what Dana White told ESPN. White said he's been in contact with the family who were going to the hospital. Hughes, 43, a two-time UFC welterweight champion who worked as an office liaison to the fighters until recently, was, according to White, believed to have suffered head trauma in the accident. White said that the accident took place when Hughes was helping out a friend. The issue is serious enough that White has canceled a trip to Paris for a public appearance. Hughes, a two-time All-American wrestler at Eastern Illinois University, who fought from 1998 to 2011, ending his career with a 45-9 record, was best known for his fights with Georges St-Pierre, B.J. Penn, and Royce Gracie, as well as for the finish of his second fight with Frank Trigg, which is played in a video montage before the main card starts at almost every live UFC event. Hughes had of late expressed interest in a comeback. After UFC, he also hosted two hunting related television shows. I don't want to speculate but trucks don't tend to get hit by trains by accident. I hope he ends up OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 It was Bellator's biggest show of the year last night, I shouldn't have laughed when, in his pro debut after three years of Bellator hyping him as being the next mega star of MMA, Aaron Pico tapped out in 24 seconds against a nobody. Also Matt Mitrione knocked out Fedor and Chael grinded a win over Wanderlei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legitimately laugh out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
