After cyborgs last fight this is interesting. Wonder if this is gonna get main event status now

Yeah, I like it. He proved against Ward that he's not a guy you can look past or take lightly.

Nah- I imagine Lima vs Daley main events.

Good fight but i bet they wish they signed the Koschek fight now. Name recognition and the history would make the roof blow off the arena and kill the tv ratings.

They did sign that fight- Kos dropped out with an injury.

Not a smart move for Santos or Bellator, so two months after he got chewed up by Saad Awad he's ready? Bullshit, you need to put fighter health ahead of matchmaking needs imo. We are past the dark ages of mma.

4:35-6:15 was not good for Cyborg's brain health

Not saying Cyborg can't win, but it doesn't matter what the outcome is.

well I am calling it now......




......Page will be tested ..... before 2020!

Yeah, I like it. He proved against Ward that he's not a guy you can look past or take lightly.

Exactly. This is the perfect test for Page.

 

[Left Hook Larry]

this is a decent step up in comp but Santo's chin is suspect. MVP by tko with spinning shit

Wow. What is that like 3 fights for Santos since April?
He is one tough son of a gun. I doubt highly he beats Page but I would like to see Santos get a few. I've always felt he was a better fighter than his record reflected. Needless to say it locked me in for watching a card that I was starting to have second thoughts about.
Wish Koscheck could stay healthy.

Regardless, it's Page's toughest fight to date. I look forward to this as I would like to think the Page is as good as his fan boys think he is. I'm not sold yet, and Santos will be a legit test.

Absolutely Santos is his toughest opponent yet and more than capable of beating him. It just seems like Santos has had a lot thrown at him in a short period of time.

 

[Mix6APlix]

Hell, I'll say it. I think Santos beats him.

 

[Clappin'Daddys]

Wow. Santos just got smoked by awad. Crazy shit.

Santos could always win, but I have mvp by tko
