Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Bellator 185 on tonight. Decent card, looking forward to seeing how Mousasi, Gracie, and Hardy perform.

I'll watch, but mainly for Mousasi.

So excited! Hopefully he doesn't get ko'd

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Damn, that was a big upset or what ? I don't know either of these women.

Kristina Williams with a Doctor's stoppage over Heather Hardy, quite surprised. I expected Hardy's boxing to carry her but Williams kept her at bay with kicks and busted her up.

I always fall for hype.

Gracie gets a Rear naked crank over Bucia.

Mousasi gets his right eye swollen early and is shooting for TDs. Controls the back for R1, R2 is debatable- Shlemenko lands more, but Mousasi gets another TD late, R3 for Shlemenko who controls the round with more strikes landed.
Mousasi wins the decision, very close fight.

Hardy is a boxer trying MMA. She isn't ready to fight anyone with skills yet. She may get better, but is running out of time. She gets destroyed by any of the top 125ers. She really needed to go the regional route or just train. She is only doing MMA because she wasn't getting paid in boxing.

Bellator gave her a 2 year contract, no way anyone else was. If she learns, she may get enough to stick around, but it was obvious she didn't know how to handle kicks and get into boxing range.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

I've missed so much Bellator since I've cut the cord. I love MMA, but Bellator alone isn't worth me getting rid of Vue. That service has been really good to me. I'm at the point now where I'll just stream them whenever I remember to. I'd much rather just pay for a high quality service, but that's not an option.

Viacom is out here screwing themselves. They need to either get a standalone service popping immediately or start trying to work with these providers again. Other than watching Bellator, I don't give a **** about any of their other channels, so I just live without it. Hell, several guys I know only keep cable so their woman can watch Lifetime lol. MTV and BET isn't the draw it was for a lot of people a decade plus ago. Time for them to smarten up.

I downloaded the new Bellator app hoping I could watch previous weeks fights, but you can only do so by logging in with a provider. So that's a no go. UFC it is.

You can always watch Bellator cards live on the ESPN app. ESPN Deportes has the spanish language rights to Bellator so as long as you dont mind watching it in Spanish, you can watch every card.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Neither did I. I guess Aholbert is good for something. I'll miss the regular commentary, but I'm working on my Spanish anyway. Good man lol. [emoji109]

Do they air live on Deportes too?

Yep. The same time as the Spike airing.

I'm glad you specified the app. I was looking on ESPN Deportes to set my DVR, but it wasn't airing tonight. Apparently, it'll be on ESPN 3, which I don't have on Vue. I'm good money through the app, though. Thanks again.
