Should be a good fight.

I heard this fight being advertised on Jim Rome's radio show the other day. Pretty cool hearing a promo for Bellator.

Should be a good show tonight. A couple potential standup battles. Teammates square off for the title.

GO RHINO!

this HW fight on the prelims looks like something from UFC 1

lol awesome

exciting new entry into Bellator's next HW tourney

The elbows KO was decent. that boltdude was sleeping.

The seasons MW bracket seemed weak going in, the prelim tourney fight was.

Damn the prelim stream just died, wanted to see that hw fight/

Go Spang!

Not a fan of throwing your hands up so the ref just stops the fight. Unless the dude is straight out cold I need atleast one follow up shot on the ground to see if he's still with it

That was a pretty bad stoppage..

That KO looked like it was coming quick after anyways but not a great stoppage. Marshall is finally winning fights again in pretty much the only way hes got a shot.

You gotta double tap

Was a good fight though while it lasted, Marshall looked better than I thought he would against a guy like spang.

Gets to fight that dude who won the shitty prelims fight too. Maybe he'll make the finals

Rhino goring through Bellator

What a fucking fight

it's probably al hype, but Galvao needs to quit being a baby. He entered a tournament to challenge Dantas..not the other way around like they are making it seem.

What a KO! Last two fights were awesome.

Galvao had that weird ghost look in his eyes before he died.
