Bellator Season X

Douglas Lima vs Rick Hawn scheduled for BFC117.

Rerally looking forward to this one, great matchup of contrasting styles, with Ben out of the picture, WW should be a little more entertaining at the top.




Some of the stuff I've been reading regarding Curran vs Straus is that Frodo is way behind on a VISA issue. Also less credibly I've heard via rumor that Pitbull would of had to fight Straus a while from now if they went that way, not at the seasons opening.

I love both Hawn and Lima, should be a very fun fight to watch. Both guys can land some serious power shots.

Bobbitt I think rampage would be the favorite to win that 4-man tourney. As sad as that sounds.

I thought the card sucked.

Overall yes. However the Nunes fight, Rampage knockout, and two of the fights on the undercard were all great. Though we had two straight fights to kick the card off end in NC's in like 2 combined minutes.

I did laugh about how M'Pumbu was talking about retiring Rampage and then ate shit as soon as Rampage decided to throw a punch.

Post fight press conference was the best part. I cracked up when Page said Mo looked like a character from the Simpsons

That was funny. I think MO vs Rampage should be a good fight.

BTW I thought Nunes won the fight.

Me too.

Nunes got his ass kicked. Dude took so many more meaningful strikes, and never gained control of the cage. He got caught chasing the whole time. Mangler should have gotten the unanimous decision in My opinion.

I hope Mo will keep it standing so Page can knock his head off, but we know better than that. Rampage told him that's all he would do and Mo started talking about McKee, so we know all Mo is going to do is try to lay n pray.

Ludo to say that Nunes got his ass kicked is a stretch lol.

I think page will stop the TDs by MO and eventually win a clear cut decision or get a late round TKO.

In the regard that he was always playing catch up and never really landing first, he got his ass beat. Also, he got dropped hard in the second round, and missed alot more of what he threw than Bessett did. Nunes was getting lit up by combo after combo, meanwhile his best strike of the fight was at the end of round one with that jumping knee to the chest.

I saw it different. To me he kept Bessett backing up the whole fight and definitely pushed the action and I thought u landed more shots than u give him credit for.

Really looking forward to Friday's event, far and away their best HW tourney.

Martinez vs Johnson, to me, is very fun. Mighty Mo vs Graham is also to lesser extent. Volkov back in the cage and looking forward to seeing Blagoi fight.

We also get Dantes vs Leone, all the makings for a decent BFC.

I agree GDP should be a very good night of fights.

Their HW division is not good overall.

I think that applies across the board more so then with any other division in the sport.

there are probably 1 out of 10 serious, decent or legitimate HWs out there cumulatively. Maybe it's a different ratio, point being, it's exponentially worse then every other division in MMA.

Yeah HWs are the weakest division in mma right now but still very exciting to watch.

Fixed it for you.

Been forever since the HWs were any good in boxing as well. Best athletes that size are playing other sports.

That is a good point OU but I still think there are plenty of good HWs out there.

Yeah there are some very good HWs out there. Cain is the best HW Champion the UFC has ever had. IMO JDS is the 2nd best HW in the history of the UFC. Not in terms of resume but overall skill. Still, there are far superior athletes that size that are not competing in MMA or any combat sport. Jon Jones and Cain aren't a fraction of the athlete of Adrian Peterson or LeBron James.

Wtf 3 guys missing weight on their first attempt to weigh in.
