Terrible performance by MVP

 

[FaTaL]

that fight doesn't exactly bode well for MVP taking another step up in competition

Whose rory fighting next?

Neither should be paid for that garbage.

Hope this makes Bellator match him tough. No more easy matches. Page might very well have been ko'd by now if he was in the UFC

Yup.

Bendo/Chandler was a great fight. Chandler put it on him early and won nearly every rd, but Bendo kept fighting and avoided some really bad positions. As Chandler started to fade in the 5th, Bendo took over but it was too late.

MVP fight was terrible . His offense excels when his opponent is coming forward and allows him to counter, but if his opponent doesn't engage or he ends up clinched against the fence, the fight can look ugly. He's had enough of a learning curve now though, he finds to fight real competition. At least let him fight someone like Brendan Ward who will be aggressive.

Great MMA debut by Keri Melendez to put away her opponent. I'm sure the matchup was booked in her favor, but you normally don't see power like that in the womens lighter weight classes

i thought chandler won for sure. bendo pull up a helluva fight though, especially after that first round. wow.

and yeah, even though his fight was wack and he won, i think we're at a point where mvp needs some real competition. i mean, how much longer are they gonna build this guy up - he's 12-0 now...in fukking bellator...give him something serious.

Terrible performance by MVP

Styles make fights

The mexican was the WBC muy thai champion

that karate shyt don't work on a real boxing guard, which most mma fighters lack

he fought a smart fight to not end up with a fractured skull

seeing these different types of styles can only evolve the game, coker is better at developing talent than white
