I'm actually excited to see these fights, the last bantamweight fights were good. I'm gonna be switching for watching this and my dude Billy Vaughn fight for a featherweight title in philly online.

Efrain is on the prelims today

The card looks good. Avilla-Galvao and West-Dantas. M'Pumbu is fighting Wiuff. Should be entertaining

Ricardo Tirloni looked pretty good. Solid striking and good BJJ.

14-1...only loss to Bendo

he was dumb there, should have stood the fight up.


Sooner or later coming into a lhw fight weighing 201 with no weight cut will catch up to a fighter. Not surprising that it happened vs a big guy with a wrestling backround.

Wiuff is a good fighter and a bad matchup for M'Pumbu.. but you don't want your champion losing that fight though.

Nope, that was def not what Bjorn was hoping for. And yeah, a guy like Babalu would prob be a much better matchup for M'Pumbu.

But a champ was due to lose one of these superfights.

Still like M'pumbu, and I'll like him more when he gets with the program and drops to 185.

Would've been cool to see M'Pumbu get that finish in the 3rd. Kind of a dumb fight for Bellator to put together

Dantas is a very impressive 22 yr old.

Being as how M'pumbu is their lowest profile champ, I don't think this will cause much of a stir.

Think that win gets Wiuff a spot in the next tourney?

I think it should actually get him a rematch with M'Pumbu for the title while the next LHW tournament is in progress.
