Bellator discussion.

Tuned in late.

I did catch the Konrad fight. Did not go as expected as Cole stood with Buentello for almost all of the fight. Buentello fought very cautiously and Konrad cruised. Used leg kicks and a decent jab to control the action

Not a bad fight, but the fans booed throughout, undoubtedly the Konrad stigma was at the root.

Yea I actually enjoyed the fight, boos were rather unwarranted.


This should be a heck of a fight tho

Huge reach advantage...

Scary ref... Lol

very interesting scrap.

the "sandro is overrated" argument is on the line here.

Winner here has a legit argument for top 10.

Close, I go Sandro. Though Curran prob won the 2nd half of the rnd.

OH Baby!!!!!!!!!!

Sandro was taking that shit over too.

Arghhhh omfg!!! Holy shit!

I had Sandro winning both rounds too

me as well. Sandro got careless, and Curran read it perfect.

That was a sick KO, nothin more to say really.


Sandro isn't overrated, just overly wild, he'll tidy that up a bit now I'm sure. Problem for me is, now it's doubtful we see him in the UFC anytime soon, at least a good year and a half before so IMO, wins pending. Curran though is UFC destine it seems, really like this kid, bottom top 10 at least, although I haven't looked into other names.


I was semi impressed with Konrad, he'll make his way to the big show eventually for sure, nice jab, nice leg kicks, like the insides, can take a shot a bit, obviously good wrestler.

matter of time?

4 of the Bellator fights. There was a rnc that is not on the list.

I'd say they are all worth watching. Sandro vs curran is a def. and def check out the Nazare fight at the bottom. Anti-climatic finish, but an impressive performance nonetheless.

Man I wanted Sandro to win.... damn.

only saw end of 2nd and 3rd on konrad fight and the sandro curran fight. Konrad looks like pile of poop but has good jab and obvious wrestling with decent low kicks for a big man.

Curran- I had him loosing the rounds, and the good head movement I saw in previous fights was not apparent in this fight. unless you call covering and stepping back good defensive head movement. Nice kick and happy for the kid.

Sandro is already old. I wouldn't be surprised to never see him in the UFC

Buentello and Ricco should both be embarrassed. What a couple of dog shit performances
