Bellator's WW division looking strong: MVP, Larkin, MacDonald, Koreshkov, Lima, Daley and Bendo (if he decides to continue to take fights at WW)
I fukk with Chidi Bang too, dude's body kicks are :scust:



I like Chidi too, but I don't know if he's really a WW. He's missed weight and has had to fight at catchweight at least 3 or 4 times already :francis:

Bellator MW division is so weak, probably better if he moved up there anyways

:whoa:Kelvin is damn good but I can't see this as a guaranteed knockout loss. Anderson still has steam in him and usually handles wrestlerboxers. I might pick Kelvin but still

I feel the same way. I see a lot of people talking about the fight like Silva's gonna get smoked but NOBODY throws first against dude and his takedown defense isn't as bad as it's made out to be. If Gastelum doesn't go the "I'll only counter" route, there will be plenty of opportunity for Silva to do work.

Following UFC’s ‘dishonest’ business practices, Michael McDonald granted release
Michael McDonald is no longer a UFC fighter.
One-time interim title challenger Michael McDonald is no longer a UFC fighter.

After believing that the UFC took part in unacceptable business practices, McDonald requested his release from the UFC last month, he told ESPN.com. It was officially granted to him Thursday.

“The UFC was dishonest in the way they tried to do business with me and it's resulted in a complete waste of my time," McDonald said. "I want to feel like my employer isn't out trying to cut my head off.”

McDonald didn’t specifically state whether talks have started with other organizations, but it does appear that he will indeed continue fighting.

“I'm looking to enter a mutually respectful business contract with another fight organization,” he said.

Earlier this year, McDonald put his UFC career on hold due to financial reasons. He said he was unable to afford a training camp for a fight and had to work a second job. He also claimed that he had tried to get a fight often, but nothing materialized from brief discussions with the organization.

What is the UFC doing :dahell:

Vitor Belfort wants CM Punk at light heavyweight for last fight

“It would have to be an interesting fighter, but not a top fighter. I’ve been fighting good guys before: Dan Henderson, [Chris] Weidman, Dan Henderson, ‘Jacare’ [Souza], [Gegard] Mousasi and now Kelvin [Gastelum],” he continued. “These are all hard fights, so if you can book a smoother fight… What’s the name of that guy from WWE? CM Punk would be a good fight. CM Punk, let’s get it on. That would be a really good fight.”

That fight would be a Scott Coker dream come true :mjlol:
