180 is just the televised card, while NYC is the PPV. Bellator just chose to make them 'separate' events for whatever reason.
But having them on the same day is weird they could of had one on friday and the other one on saturday.

They probably just wanted to stack the event and have a good lead into the PPV. Guess either way would work but they may think they could potentially lose peoples attention on Saturday by promoting the PPV on Friday.

180 is a good promo leading into the ppv portion.
By highlighting a championship fight(Bader/Davis II) as the main event @ 180, it invites the casual viewer to believe the best is yet to come.
Personally, I love "tentpoles"...Dynamite and such.
The cost to split it into two days at MSG would not be monetarily wise.

If bellator fixes any of these fights forget it, they're finished. Otherwise, it looks to be an amazing card

No chance in hell. Theyre not gonna sink their company for any one fighter.

Did Fedor fight? It's almost 9 pt. I thought there were like 3 fights on the PPV.
Wanderlei Silva vs Chael Sonnen
Fedor vs Mitrione
Douglas Lima vs Lorenz Larkin
Michael Chandler vs Brent Primus
Aaron Pico vs Zach Freeman

sonnen vs tito was a total fix

so was alexander volkov vs mark holata (or at least holata took an obvious dive)

kimbo vs dada was fishy as hell

just wanted to make sure. I really want to sit down and actually enjoy these great fights

Because Chael Sonnen is a master at submission defense, and has never been defeated with jiu jitsu...

If they were gonna fix that fight, fixing it for a Tito win when he's on his way out is stupid.

Holata might have been looking for a way out in that, but again- not a fix. If you're gonna put your entire company at risk, Alexander Volkov isn't the guy to risk it on.

kimbo vs dada was fishy as hell
No it wasn't. It was just a shitty fight between two guys who had more street fights than MMA experience.
