[So UnThotful]

221 pretty bad as well, Rockhold/Whittaker one of the best fights in the entire sport, but outside of that and Stylebender's debut not alot really jumping out to me on paper. This is a Fight Night with a great headliner tacked on.

see for someone like me who grew up in that area it appeals to me. bout if you havent followed A Tyson Pedro or Tuivasa you wont like this card

but you are right, its fight night card with a championship bout as the main event

That's one sh!tty azz card

For my money Jimmy is the best commentator in the game.


WTF is Bellator doing

He's good, but I dunno about the best

He sounds awkward as hell sometimes with the AM radio banter and it makes the fight feel less important, if that makes sense. I heard Mir's replacing him, and I liked Mir when he was announcing for the WEC.

I like both those guys but don't like their actual match-ups much. Jiangliang vs Matthews and Ngueyn vs Formiga could be fun but this one looks a lot like several of the Eurocards they throw where it's locals vs less than stellar opposition.

blast from the past

kinda miss MMA Live, show was bad cuz of some analysts who didn't know what they were talking about, but that made it endearing

Wow such nostalgia isnt chael and melendez still doin it?

Its strange how Evans got the jump ( doing analysis) on so many of these cats and now everyone and their mother is doing it and they are getting more burn than him. He (rashad) might not have improved that much but i don't see what someone like DC has over him that they use him so much. Maybe its the samboing dressed up as personality.

Anik was best suited at espn he sucks on commentary and even sux doing what he was known for in booth (the few times hes hosted ufc tonight )

"espinoza, you little fookin' weasel. you gonna stand up and do something? sit down and shut your fookin' mouth"

there wasn't a single moment at any of those pressers where Ellerbe wasn't smiling the whole time imagining the bags of money they were gonna get

I have never seen or heard of any of those opponents looks like we are in for a shaky year ahead
