Haven't watched mma in ages, this is one of the few cards that I'm actually looking forward to.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Rory performs in Bellator. He had some major mileage put on the odometer over the last few fights.

If records mean anything, there are some potential big mismatches on the under-card.
11-1 vs 14-14 really jumps out and 17-5 vs 4-1 is a pretty huge experience gap. I don't know the fighters. Are these just squash matches to build up promising guys?

I think so, but not sure.
When I see that, I assume, kinda in the same boat there.

I'm still debating whether or not my privileged American ass is going to watch this or protest due to the tape delay.
