Re: The Bellator Thread

I had it a draw. Gave Pittbull a 10-8 for the first round. He dominated every aspect of that round and Warren had to be saved by the bell.

Yeah, I can totally understand that...honestly though, I'm not sure I (and maybe the judges too, given how horrible some decisions are) don't know how to correctly apply the 10-8...That line is so blurred I don't know how I'd apply it to some fights...

Easily the worst Bellator I've seen, and it largely had to do with the heavyweight fights being so sloppy and, in the case of Cole Konrad, boring. It seems that featuring low to mid-tier heavyweights, a la Ultimate Fighter 10, is not conducive for quality fights.

Yeah it was a pretty crappy card. I've been saying from the beginning that a HW tournament was a bad idea.

Re: The Bellator Thread

Yeah, I looked up the card and it looked boring...just watched the first match on a re-showing last night (guy won via guillotine in the 1st after being threatened by triangles for a while).

I do that all the time with UFC Unleashed and whatnot...I look up the fights and see how long they were and if it was worth watching lol

That was actually last night's card, not the card we were talking about from the previous Thursday. It wasn't as bad, but the heavyweight fight was still a bore, even though it was a bloodbath reminiscent of the something you would see in the WWE.

The 3rd fight of last night's card was decent, Danny Tims vs. Jose Vega. But next week's event, Bellator 27, should be great with a featherweight title fight between Joe Soto and Joe Warren. Definitely tune in to watch that.

Re: The Bellator Thread

I forgot to mention, at last night's Bellator, the fight between Lisa Ward and Aisling Daly featured an interesting "position" that drew some cheers from the crowd.

Re: The Bellator Thread

Can't wait for the Soto and Warren fight. Most of the bantamweights are no names but the lighter weight classes always seem to put on the most entertaining fights.

Warren actually got the ko victory. i am very suprised.

Re: The Bellator Thread

Joe Soto is an idiot...too much clowning and showboating, he had Warren hurt in the first round and should've finished him off.

Warren is the king of the miraculous, dude somehow always manages to win.

Re: The Bellator Thread

I loved, absolutely loved, that Warren KO.

I hate it when a fighter disrespects his opponent mid-fight like Soto was doing to Warren during the first round. I was glad to see him pay for his arrogance via one of the best comeback finishes this year.

Completely out-striking a fighter like Soto was doing in the first round is humiliating enough, you don't need to rub it in and mock your opponent further, let your hands speak for themselves. Hopefully Soto learned a valuable lesson last night.

Joe Warren's heart is inspiring.

That was a great fight, and im happy soto lost because he was mocking him, but Soto might not get to show if he's learned his lesson becasue he has a detached retina and it could be career threatining.
