This is a really good card for Bellator. Be interesting to see how it rates.

yea its got a good mix of freakshow and guys like MVP who have a ton of potential but still relatively unknown

Pietro Menga looks like a really good prospect. 12-0 with 8 submissions.

 

[Jehannum]

oh wow THE REIDERNATER will be competing .. he's 40 now and hasn't fought since the end of 2012

really hope Thompson actually trains .. and not just his tongue

Should be Koscheck Daley II headlining.
Looks like a good card.
Can't miss MVP certainly

 

[jason73]

Koscheck gets violently assaulted and finished

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

Kimbo showed he deserves to headline after that stellar domination of Dada.

Took this post out. In bad taste, in light of what just happened.

I'm glad it's on Saturday

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Pretty good card. So far I've been a little reluctant to get totally onboard the MVP bandwagon. I'm not sure a win over Cyborg is gonna do much to get my ticket either. I'd like to see him vs someone a little more relevant in today's MMA, all due respect to Cyborg.

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

I feel bad saying this but it's a much better card with this lineup than it was originally planned to be. I hope that people tune in

James Gallagher is a young prospect fighting out of Conor McGregor's camp. That will get mentioned once or twice...

SBG prospect James Gallagher signs with Bellator

Anyone know if it's on UK tv?
I used to train with Oli Thompson and predict an upset there...

Assuming that no one would know who you are via your screen name.... How likely would Oli be to pass USADA testing?

Im very easy to find from my screen name!

Haven't trained with Oli for over five years though so can't even offer an opinion I'm afraid.
Back in Britains strongest man days you can guess the answer...

For fuck's sake Bellator... your London event is one of the most important ones you throw all year and you publish the preconference in 240p mobile phone quality. For fuck's sake Bellator, for fuck's sake. I really want to like you but sometimes you try so hard towards the opposite.

At least they have a stand for the phone instead of just having some dude holding it in portrait mode and broadcasting it ;-)
