Yeah, i'd like to retract most of this. Good first round by Mo, outside of that not looking so goodKing Mo fighhting a lot better tonight. I'm not a fan of his at this point, but it is good to see him fight smart, and not like a complete buffoon when he got KO'd the first time they fought
yeah, bitter sweet. I thought Chandler had 3 rounds to 2. Expensive night with these big favorites. 3 big dogs won the last 3. but i did think Chandler won 3 of those rounds. was close thoughwhoa..... what?
Yep, years away (if ever).only way Bellator can try for PPV or big cards is to have Chandler and Alvarez fight each other each time. Or if they wanted to get crazy, have tag team fight of Eddie and Chandler vs. 5 LW fighters on the rest of the roster
this show is just a mess. hoping nobody gets screwed with the DVR. It's 12, and they haven't even started the main event
Tough way to make a living. And this is not some regional outfit, Bellator must be the #2 organization in the country.Looking at those payouts, I can't help but sing "Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be MMA fighters" in my head.
Bellator's best event of the year on paper and best fight possible delivered record ratings for the organization on Saturday night, as Spike TV announced on Monday that Saturday's Bellator 106 event drew an average of 1.1 million viewers.
The broadcast peaked with a 1.1 rating and 1.4 million viewers just prior to the night's main event between Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvarez, easily besting all other Bellator programming on Spike TV this year.
It was the #2 program on cable in the key demographic of men 18-49 as well.
The main event saw Alvarez edge past Chandler by split decision to recapture the Bellator Lightweight Championship, and for those that missed it the first time, you'll have a second chance this Friday night. As a lead-in to Bellator 108, the main event will be rebroadcast beginning at 8PM ET.
He was originally supposed to fight Nogueira. They aren't going to give him Texeira because they don't want to derail his hype just yet. Who else is left? Hendo and Machida moved to MW. Evans and Sonnen are booked to fight each other.Gustafsson vs Manuwa. Perfectly reasonable matchup![]()
I guess. I thought Manuwa was waaaay down on the list. Man the LHW division has gotten weak. Manuwa is nice and flashy but hasn't done anything in the UFC. Just surprised he'd get a shot at the #2 guy.He was originally supposed to fight Nogueira. They aren't going to give him Texeira because they don't want to derail his hype just yet. Who else is left?

That leaves either Phil Davis (who I think he should be fighting) or a bunch of middle of the pack guys. They choose the exciting middle of the pack guy who just so happens to be from England over the boring wrestler who destroyed him in the 1st round the last time they fought.
a shot might be the best way to describe it. He is in on short notice, and Kennedy is likely to grind him out in a long boring fight. but who knows, maybe Kennedy chooses to mix it up and Natal gets lucky. Not sure i will have anything on that fight thoughnatal have a shot tonight?
Then maybe that dude on sherdog was onto something. He says there are 3 nerves that meet at one point behind the jaw " hypoglossal, vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves all come together at the mandibular angle which is the pressure point". Does seem like the science of it is the vagus nerve though. Have to keep that in mind for the next bar brawlI remember reading somewhere (cool source, bro) that it was trauma to the vagus nerve which caused a KO. I don't remember the article being overly compelling, but I also never heard a better explanation. Google 'vagus nerve knockout' for some reading.
Nice. i was on Siler, Chiesa, Davis, and Romero mostly. Had a little on Roop and Larkan, so not too bad. Wasn't sure on a few like the Masvidal fight and Krause-Green fight. Real glad i skipped that Krause fight seeing how weird it ended.Not sure how I nailed this card....but I did. Markes (which I bought out of above) and a strange Houston/Magny/Siler parlay (no idea why I did that, probably because I always get burned by Siler and I read Houston has some pop) were the only losses. Now I'll give it all back Saturday.
yeah, bout time i won some money on a Sicilia fight. Dude is not good, but either is Pepey. he's got a heavy right, but did have some better grappling tonightIf you dye your hair purple, you deserve to get knocked out.
Yes.Did Jeremy Stephens just say he hailed from the country of Iowa?
I like Hendricks this fight too, but my main concern is how he looked a few fights ago against Koscheck. Boring close fight and got outwrestled in the 3rd pretty easily. He can't be that lethargic against GSP.Going to the Anniversary show in Vegas this Saturday. I think I will put some $$$ on Hendricks.
if you do, go light. i know a lot of people are on Hendricks, but count me in the GSP camp for where my money will beGoing to the Anniversary show in Vegas this Saturday. I think I will put some $$$ on Hendricks.
Yup. That guy Thatch is a beast - looking forward to seeing more from him.Bad night so far for the Brazilians in the octagon.
What is the line right now?if you do, go light. i know a lot of people are on Hendricks, but count me in the GSP camp for where my money will beGoing to the Anniversary show in Vegas this Saturday. I think I will put some $$$ on Hendricks.
Everyone says this about GSP, but Hendricks has to keep the fight off the ground. Easier said than done, I know.Yes.Did Jeremy Stephens just say he hailed from the country of Iowa?

155, 145 and 135 are my favorites - you almost always get great non-stop action from those classes. It's what made the WEC so awesome to watch.i'm beginning to think 145 is the best weight class in the UFC.
