Already read the spoilers for bellator tonigh, but will be tuning in anyway just to see MVP

 

[chasekaboom]

So i'm guessing Brock violated PED policy since theres so much talk around it but no public results? Hmmm >:

 

[illphillip]

When was the last time you saw anyone take or keep Aldo down?


Edgar took BJ Penn down when supposedly no one could, had his way with pretty much everyone else from 145-155 when it came to takedowns. Couldn't do **** against Aldo.


Cruz is a 135 and Aldo looked like he was 160 in his last fight.


Timing will get them down but it won't necessarily keep them down.


Again, Aldo's skill set on a while to me presents the most problems for Cruz.

so when did i say anything about keeping him down? all i said was Cruz is an excellent mma wrestler, his timing on takedowns is great

You didn't have to say anything about keeping him down. I did.

To me takedowns don't mean **** if the guy gets back up.

Important read. Nicely written. Was published on foxsports.com but of course it was taken down

Heh. I can't stand Dana but a whole lot of assumption in the piece. Probably why Fox rightfully took it down.

Rumors going around that Brock failed the USADA test due to his asthma meds.

These bellator commentators stay mentioning ufc and ufc fighters. Why they keep comparing this young guy to mcgregor just because they're from the same camp and Irish? Looks like he's mainly a grappler.

 

[shogun]

This fight sucks. It's like a grappling training session.

 

[red81]

mike cutting is running, but james gallagher is doing a terrible job of cutting off the octagon. chasing someone in a straight line is amateur stuff. 

watching RDA's masterful ring control before he got caught was a thing of beauty. 

 

[shogun]

I think this might be the worst fight i've ever seen. That includes when little kids would try and fight each other.

 

[chino905]

At least Gallagher gets more cage time experience. But looked like two amateurs in there.

 

[green rhino123]

Is there some sort of minor league mma card going on right now?

 

[red81]

if anyone is interested in seeing some high level grappling, EBI 7 is about to start in 15 minutes. It's going to be on UFC fight pass.

 

[P A Z]

^^

Bruce Buffer announcing is interesting..

 

[af1 1982]

Bruh, Bruce does EBI events? Officially a must watch

 

[red81]

[red81]

Bruh i thought he was going to tap from that arm trap alone. That shoulder was stretched all the way back

 

[af1 1982]

Bruh this one dude has no left hand.....

 

[red81]

lol

 

[chino905]

MVP can be the star Bellator needs. They just need to continue to build and promote him. Just let him keep racking up the Ws. But the Chrisma is there. He had the entire crowd chanting his name.

 

[shogun]

It was home territory for him. I didn't even know the names of his past opponents. It was funny and a little disrespeckful at the same time when he rolled the pokeball at cyborg who was laying on the ground. SMH at the commentators saying he was bowling.

 

[chino905]

That pokeball throw

 

[red81]

"yoshida got into BJJ because he wanted to be a better street fighter"

lmao hawaiians love to street fight

 

[gunna get it]

Wowwwww at the X Ray of cyborgs broken skull. That knee was ******* devastating

Jesus Christ, he's lucky to be alive. Whewwwww
