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

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

I don't think so either, but dude belongs at 185 and is a striker. Bringing in essentially a HW wrestler to face him seems strange

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

Nah, that ain't how Bellator does business.

Only one way to a title shot.

Good fight.

Dantas is pretty impressive. West showed a strong chin, a lot of guys get knocked out in the 1st round.

a split?

can't disagree with any of that.

Maybe this was bellators way of saying, "hey Mpumbu why not give it a go in the next mw tourney?"

I had it a pretty clear 30-27.

West acting shocked?

Is Askren-Hieron the same day as Penn-Diaz?

Yeah

Easy decision, i just wish Bellator didnt make it necesary to make one.

USA chants for the Cuban and Brazilian

Vila is too short to get in on Galvao consistantly but Galvao has not thrown jack shit in this fight because he's afraid when he does, he'll let him in and get KO'd.

So much for that short lived buzz

Galvao won

yeah, i got it 29-28 Galvao as well

He is just too short period.

Galvao finally opened up in the 3rd. Not positive it won him the fight.

Don't agree with that. Galvao came hard enough in the last minute and a half of the 2nd to take that round

Galvao has himself to blame, way too conservative in the first 2 rnds.

I think Vila will try to rassle Dantas..that headhunter shit is going to get him picked apart big time.

pretty weak that they didnt feature Efrain Escudero's fight on eitheir the prelim on spike.com or the broadcast...the fuck?

i'm guessing since Efrain is technically the most well known name on the card, they saved it for last for the live crowd?

It just finished...Efrain won by guillotine in the first 2 minutes.

I thought Galvao won the fight also. I agree with Captain that he was a lil too conservative and shoulda pushed the pace more in the first two rounds.

and yes...Vila needs to move down. Galvao looked like a MW in that fight.

Wiuff got his ass whooped. Totally lost the fight.
