The Official Bellator Thread

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

If the old legends have to fight I'm okay with them fighting eachother. People give Bellator **** for it, but I'd rather see Wanderlei fight Fedor than a Ryan Bader, or god forbid; a Francis NGannou.

That being said, I didn't watch the fight.

Here's one big pet peeve I have with Bellator and ONE: The commentators. It's something I think UFC has gotten very lucky with. Joe Rogan has brought with him a very independent voice and the other UFC commenators have followed suit. Bashing refs, judges, doctors, corner advice. these are things I long for whenever I watch Bellator. If a fight sucks, say it like it is Big John!

Rampage taking a page out of the Bob Sapp playbook at the end of the fight.

He showed up to get paid and lose to a legend. He didn't look like he trained at all. I think he really was hurt and then just decided to give up instead of getting punched more.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

There are some interesting fights on the Bellator card this weekend:

Cyborg vs. Julia Budd
Darrion Caldwell vs. Adam Borics
Henry Corrales vs. Juan Archuleta

Raymond Daniels is on the card too. He's a must-watch no matter who he fights, so I'm all in for that one. Sergio Pettis is making his Bellator debut, and Aaron Pico is giving it another shot (this time on the undercard).

Hoping for a good one after watching that Rampage embarrassment last time.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

I agree

I'm pretty psyched for the Budd vs Cyborg fight.This must be a top 10 biggest women's fight of all time, and it's flying under the radar since Cyborg isn't in the UFC anymore

Tapology's Women's P4P #3 vs #11. Budd is no joke.

Also to note; Ex-UFC fighters Sergio Pettis and Curtis Millender making their debut here.

Just bought tickets to this one. Cyborg is one of the few greats that I havent seen live so I need to knock her off the list.

Very nice, enjoy the show. I'm intrigued with how that one will look when they go at it. I'm just glad to see Cyborg back out there. Budd sounds ultra-confident (as she should), she definitely believes that she can win.

Trigg! what are you doing! that was a terrible stoppage

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Almost got aaanother botched bellator main event there. Glad Cyborg wanted to continue

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Budd was timid from the start. Cyborg really emobodies that Mike Tyson effect.

Who else is there for her to fight now? Budd cleaned out the Featherweight division and Cyborg outclassed her tonight.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

Seeing Cyborg do that just continues to make me an even bigger fan of Nunes.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

That Timothy Johnson upset was crazy. Did I hear that right? That he hadn’t won a fight yet in Bellator?
It’s a crazy game though. Anyone can get caught.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

I can't seem to find anything official, but it seems Bellator is no longer streaming via DAZN in Canada.
I know they recently signed a deal in the US with Showtime, but I wasn't sure how that's going to affect us Canadian viewers.
TSN has a partnership with Showtime boxing so I'm wondering if that means Bellator would also be available via TSN.
Hopefully it lands somewhere that I have current access to. I'm looking forward to this LT Heavyweight grand prix.

Re: The Official Bellator Thread

If TSN has a Showtime partnership, I'd assume you should be good, but I'm not sure. Regardless, I'm happy with the move because the DAZN/Paramount channel flopping was annoying. I missed a lot of events simply because following their schedule was more work than I was willing to do. I never really vibed with DAZN either, so I wasn't willing to give them money every month.

The HW Grand Prix should be fun. Strikeforce events on Showtime used to be awesome, so I'm glad to see them back in the MMA world. I'll probably also watch a lot more boxing events due to this change too. Very good move by that network and Bellator.

It's been 2 years since my post and I still can't find out if I can watch this stuff from Canada.
Some cards are fully available via Youtube.
But I really want to watch Fedor-Bader 2 and I'm not sure the main event will be free like others have been.

Bellator needs to get better at promoting its fighters.
