I thought Bjorn did a lot of good things with Bellator and there's a lot of things I don't like about Coker's plan. But the production value for the shows have gone up tenfold since Coker took over. It feels like I'm watching a big show whenever I turn on Bellator now.

Bellator just announced Grove vs Halsey for their MW title. I'm a fan of Coker, but I'm starting to lose faith. First he set up Newton/Beltran and now Kimbo/Shamrock & Grove/Halsey.

when i talked to Emanual Newton last year, he couldnt say a bad word about Scott but straight shytted on Bjorn and his handling of fighters

But idk if scott is trying to get Bellator name out there through fukkery, But its with some of these bookings

Only WWE is currently worse than bellator

Goodness

She's just isn't physically built to get there. I can't even fault her.

I'm still not sure Ronda is much better than Cat.

I'd like to see a rematch, then Ronda has to move up cause there aren't any viable opponents at 135 on the UFC.,

Move up to what? 145? Who is viable there beyond Cyborg?

No one. But those are the only fights to make. Fans shouldn't care about women's MMA unless it's Ronda, Cat, Cyborg, or Misha fighting each other.

They pretty much crap on everyone else.

I think that you think I care about their career tracks. I don't. I want to see good fights. Whether it's a catch weight, or just one fight at 145 I want to see the best women fight each other.

You cring doesn't really matter if the business doesn't work for Zuffa you aren't seeing it happen.

Most def, kid.

All I came in here and said was that I wanted to see Riwsy fight Cat again or Cyborg.. That's just what I want. Zuffa gon do what Zuffa gon do.

But I, as a UFC fan, would skip Rowsy cards unless she's fighting one of the few good women in the sport.

Daniel Cormier criticizes Anthony Johnson for fake brawl with UFC champ Jon Jones

“That whole little thing they did at the press conference, you don’t want to do that as a challenger,” Cormier said on UFC 184’s post-fight show on FOX Sports 1. “Why would Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson want to be Jon Jones’ friend? I understand good sportsmanship, but don’t let him goad you into playing games with him. You are coming to take that guy’s livelihood. You’re his opponent. You go out and get that guy.”

While Cormier and Jones had an immense amount of tension and couldn’t be in close proximity to each other without a physical or verbal altercation, Johnson is typically respectful and rarely has issues with opponents.

Cormier said he’s in no way encouraging Johnson to leave his comfort zone to manufacture drama with Jones. He does, however, view the jokes as a major sign of weakness.

“Don’t be his friend and get you to be buddy-buddy with him,” Cormier said. “Don’t give him any comfort. Go after him and intimidate him. They’re going to fight in May, so you don’t need to go out and do it at the press conference. But again, I kind of disagree with that.

“It’s a game of inches, and you don’t want to concede to the champion that he can actually draw you in. It was pretty funny. They missed a couple things when they were in the back doing their choreography for their little skit in the back. They forgot a couple things.”

I respect that opinion.
