Bellator 66

yeah, Aoki didnt cover up like a fool

Epic beating

Alvarez having more trouble getting the gloves off

They really threw in the towel? Aoki is either extremly impressive or extremly dispointing.

Lol at that elbow strike...

Who won my whit just started buffering

Show me the money Bjorn or my Hispanic ass is headed to the UFC

So Eddie won? Did he beat him up?

knocked him down and then JUMPED in his guard for the ground and pound finish as aokis corner threw in the towel lol

pretty much. The circled around for a minute or two, Aoki threw a pathetic standing elbow, Alvarez countered with an uppercut that put Aoki on his ass. Aoki didnt look rocked or anything, but he arrogantly didnt cover up because he didnt think Alvarez would go there...Alvarez went there..and thats it.

wow iaokiep gonna be crying for a long time

Aoki standup was actually looking pretty good up until that silly elbow strike.

Aoki is good but his arrogance cost him again

Good card

I guess the main event was bittersweet. Aoki is night and day. Im happy Alvarez got a big win though after the loss to Chandler.

Spang pissing people off. Making quite the impact for a guy who i never heard of a week ago. Rogers blew his load trying to recreate the Vianna finish. Sometimes epic KO's can come back to haunt a fighter when they start thinking they are Mike Tyson and blowing loads in the first round.

Falcao-Vasilevsky was a good fight, though i disagree with the decision. Either one of them would have defeated Rogers or Spang.

I got Falcao beating Spang in the finals, Hector vacates, and i think Shlemenko will beat Falcao.

Rick Hawn was very strong at WW and could have easily gone undefeated there only losing a razor thin decision to Hieron who many think he beat. He looks very strong at LW in all facets.

I felt Michel should have advanced as well. Weedman just didnt really do anything in the first while Michel landed many good punches, and Michel easily won the third. Hawn beats either of them though. I like Michel. Michel vs. Pitbull/or Woodard would be good.

Oh Aoki...who inspired this?

Yeah that shit was weak. First thing out of his mouth after the fight. Before he even thanked anyone. Called out Bjorn and demanded money. Weak. You lost you last fight buddy.

Despite what was arguably Bellator's biggest fight and biggest show of its sixth season, this past weekend's Bellator 66 event saw a ratings plunge.

The April 20 broadcast averaged just 109,000 MTV2 viewers, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie,com) today confirmed with industry sources. That's down 33 percent from the 163,000 viewers who tuned in for Bellator 65 a week prior.

It's also the third-worst figure in Bellator and MTV2's 32-event history.

That is extremely disappointing to see. I was stoked about this card. I guess when you have a card on 420, people forget.

Andreas Spang:

Quote :

It was pretty rough. When I was waiting to walk out, People on the bleachers were calling me names and booing me. When they finally let me walk out, it was very narrow, and people were hanging over and had me worried that they were going to throw something, or spit something. I tried to speed it up, and get to the cage as fast as I could.

I got there, and I apologized to the crowd, but I didn't know that Falcao was even in there. All the sudden, they say, 'Here's your opponent' and I turned around, and Falcao comes walking out looking real mean and gets right in my face. I didn't really have time to understand what was going on. I pushed him off, but it was more of a natural reaction, because I don't like to have a grown ass man in my face.

Whatever happened after that, I take responsibility for what I did. I understand that I can get a reaction by pushing somebody, but if you get in somebody's face, you have to understand that will get a reaction, also.

lol this guy.
