great main event. been waiting for this fight forever.

I got Dantas by TKO.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Better co-main imo. I expect a highlight reel ko, just don't know who will be standing after it.

If it hits the mats, though, Lima will make it look easy.

 

[Clappin'Daddys]

This is honestly a solid solid card! Top to bottom.

These are the types cards the freakshow critics say they want, but wait until the get avg ratings, those same critics will bash the ratings.

I hope they get quality ratings tho, it'll probably tell them to invest more in the non tentpoles

I don't understand your point with these remarks.

the "freakshow critics" don't make 1/100 of a good cable rating. otoh Bellator only makes freakshows because they bring great ratings. obvious stuff.

if it's that people criticize tv ratings like it affects their own enjoyment of what they're watching then that's a new concept to me.

Yeah, I agree about Lima making it look easy. Rainey beat Chidi, and he should be fighting Lima, it would be a more compelling fight. Considering Rainey fought MVP, and if we can see one of MVP's victims do well against a former champion. Then it will say a lot about MVP's skills. I hope they can find John Paul Elias a good opponent. It is nice that they are finding LHW prospects, hopefully they found some good ones.

I'll be on the road for thos one and their next one, so I'll be relying on these to keep up with what happened.

 

[sparkuri]

great main event. been waiting for this fight forever.

Finally, right?

I love both these guys, and am just glad it's going down.

Great co-main, and main card really.


I am not missing this, and what a day of MMA!

It's a great card. The ratings will probably suck because as sad as it is they only get recognition when they have freakshow fights. It's unfortunate but it's the way it is. They can put out great cards and great fights and nobody watches because it's not UFC. Crazy thing is they have fighters that would be great in any league.

I think Galvao and Dantas are fighting to see who gets to hand the belt over to Caldwell.

maybe. I used to think Dantas would be elite but he spent too much time on the shelf and didn't evolve. maybe we've seen the best of him already.

 

[Ghost Bro]

That breakdown by Jimmy really made me psyched for thiis!

 

[Left Hook Larry]

last 3 fights on the card looks solid. rest is meh

 

[BJJMMA]

Well you missed a good EFN50 card.

 

[Clappin'Daddys]

Honeycutt needs to work on his striking a lot. It looks so awkward.
