All I know is, Chandler is going to run through Jansen and I rather see him fight Awad than Rickels.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #201 on:** March 27, 2013, 09:34:09 AM »

Chandler's going to run through probably everyone en route to the UFC.

HSJ · « **Reply #202 on:** March 27, 2013, 09:37:21 AM »

If he does keep running through everyone, he will never get to the UFC (ex: Eddie Alvarez).

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #203 on:** March 28, 2013, 08:42:38 AM »

Nah, Chandler will be in the UFC by 2015 or sooner.

HSJ · « **Reply #204 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:19:36 PM »

Rickels with the best entrance in MMA since Te Huna's MIB dance.

HE HAS A DINOSAUR!

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #205 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:21:10 PM »

yeah that was p. cool.

lol 8 wins in 90 seconds or less? They should call this guy the minuteman.

HSJ · « **Reply #206 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:35:35 PM »

Holy shit, I don't know what to make of that call...

Awad just got screwed out of $100,000 and a title shot.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #207 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:38:48 PM »

He dropped like he was out, but for him to call it because he was lying down like that for awhile was dumb.

HSJ · « **Reply #208 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:41:29 PM »

He got dropped, but he wasn't out. When on the ground, he put his hands behind his head like he was trying to get his senses back AFTER the round had ended.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #209 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:52:41 PM »

Newton ran to the ring. He looks pumped. Based on their last fights I would pick Newton comfortably. European Jiu Jitsu champion? cool story bro. But I don't know nearly enough about these guys. Odds were essentially a pick 'em but I don't trust in Zayets to take this to the ground consistently.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #210 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:54:16 PM »

Newton loves that overhand right.

His posture is weird, like he's almost turned all the way towards his right. He doesn't try to hurt you with the left hand, he looks like a TMA guy almost.

These guys are swinging for the fences, someone is probably going to get knocked out.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #211 on:** March 28, 2013, 02:57:14 PM »

Maybe not, Newton is actively engaging with him on the ground. Looks like he could generate power with his GnP too.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #212 on:** March 29, 2013, 03:32:03 AM »

That Awaad stoppage was baaaaad. Ref didn't even bother warning him or actually checking on him to see if he was ok.

Having said that partial blame should go to his corner for not rushing in to grab him and pick him up. Rich Franklin probably got saved from a between-rounds ref stoppage in the second fight against Anderson because Matt Hume hustled over and helped him to his feet.

Cool, Bad, & Handsome · « **Reply #213 on:** March 29, 2013, 07:46:52 PM »

Newton did the right thing when leaving Bodyshop... guys game has elevated in such a considerable amount since his time there. He'll always have a chance to end a fight whenever as the guy has an amazing amount of power in all of his strikes. If he ever gets his accuracy down he'll start knocking people out on a more consistent basis.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #214 on:** April 04, 2013, 09:43:12 AM »

Tonights's main card....

Pat Curran vs Shalabat Shamulaev- FW Title
Mike Richman vs Frodo Khasbulaev- FW Tournament Finals
Doug Marshall vs Brett Cooper- MW Tournament Finals
Karo Parysian vs Rick Hawn

Top two fights have serious banger potential, all guys proven finishers. I hate Marshall but will root for him to win so he can get body-bagged by Shlemenko.

And, because we're all thinking it: poor Karo.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #215 on:** April 04, 2013, 10:56:41 AM »

I saw a couple of Karo's fights after he left the UFC. He looked BAD. His reflexes look shot and he initiates the action at a pace that's slow as hell. It's surreal considering his style when he was in his prime.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #216 on:** April 04, 2013, 01:33:56 PM »

I missed the opener but I heard he got rocked and finished and then protested the stoppage. That's like the worst of both Karo's (prime, and current day).

Surprised Marshall only has 23 fights, he seems like one of those really weathered veterans. I guess he was smart in picking his fights, seems like a dummy when he opens his mouth though. It's sad that the guy 10 years his junior comes across as a lot more mature.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #217 on:** April 04, 2013, 01:35:45 PM »

lol Brett Cooper's boxing looks so rudimentary, but just by being patient and picking his shots he's outstriking the Rhino.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #218 on:** April 04, 2013, 01:40:43 PM »

Marshall always had power, Cooper opened himself up going for the hook and Marshall just flatlined him while eating it. Cooper has no power or head movement though, I think Marshall is gonna lose against someone who actually knows how to strike, let alone someone like Shlemenko.

Jaxxxson Mayhem · « **Reply #219 on:** April 04, 2013, 01:40:59 PM »

It's zzzzzzz time. That shot when he was down was nasty.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #220 on:** April 04, 2013, 01:43:37 PM »

It's so hard to like a guy this obnoxious, no matter how vicious his power is. He's like a less talented, more obscene version of Josh Barnett.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #221 on:** April 05, 2013, 09:24:57 AM »

Curran's pseudo arm-triangle guillotine was badass. SOTY candidate.

Youth N Asia · « **Reply #222 on:** April 05, 2013, 09:58:06 AM »

Doug Marshall looks like a total douchebag, but I love the way the guy swings.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #223 on:** May 13, 2013, 03:31:08 AM »

Gotta say, with all the shit that's coming out now involving the Eddie Alvarez contract dispute, Leonard Garcia and a "fake rep" talking about them, Bellator is not a good look for either Zuffa castoffs or guys looking to get there eventually.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #224 on:** June 02, 2013, 07:16:08 AM »

Dave Jansen is hurt, David Rickels will now face Michael Chandler for the LW title. And probably die pretty badly.

With that said, there are now rumors floating around that Rampage has signed with Bellator.

Bellator will probably go bankrupt paying the amount of money Rampage would demand and they're dumb enough to do so, therefore I can totally buy that rumor.

HSJ · « **Reply #229 on:** June 04, 2013, 04:21:41 AM »

Its official -

Bully Ray/Devon vs King Mo/Rampage at the next Hardcore Justice or whatever PPV.

Nah, this is a case where Spike TV is picking up the tab. They view Rampage as a big star they can market their channel around (hence a reality show and TNA appearances being part of the deal). Spike did a similar deal with Hogan and TNA where his contract is on the books with Spike and Hogan got some kind of a production deal for Bischoff-Hervey out of them as part of it.

It's time for promotions with any name value to do away with Brett Rogers. He's a proven non-winner in anything resembling an important fight.

But he provides lulz

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #235 on:** June 05, 2013, 09:39:53 AM »

And considering the staggering amount of fighters Bellator employs who have assault convictions he fits right in.

Joyful & Soyful · « **Reply #236 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:29:49 PM »

Babalu looked like shit again, lost, and then promptly retired.

King Mo absolutely murdered Seth Petruzelli and War Machine beat some scrub.

We need a gif of the KO plus the crowd celebration shots after the fact.

Highlight of the night for me was Christy Mack. They should bring her in as a ring card girl or something...too bad she has to drag along War Machine.

Mo's shot was insane. Made Seth go lazy-eyed.

Y'all read about how much King Mo doesn't like Jacob Noe? Because Mo really, really doesn't like that dude.

Fight Masters related. Joe Riggs looks very haggard for 30

I don't know, doesn't sound that bad yet. I guess it's a bit more slurring than he was back in the day, don't know for sure.

HSJ · « **Reply #249 on:** July 31, 2013, 07:23:27 PM »

In my honest opinion, Michael Chandler is the best fighter in the world not in the UFC. I believe he is the only fighter in Bellator history that can go to the UFC and win the title (this includes Lombard, Askren, Alvarez, anyone).
