god damn

 

can we throw this mother fucker away

 

WTAF

 

sickening

 

Max vs Zombie is a CTE certified banger

 

Bellator has a fun card tomorrow,

Nemkov/Romero
Pettis/Pitbull (going for triple champ)
Anderson/Davis

 

It was tonight!

 

aw fuck lol i forgot they do friday cards now

 

It was a decent card. Although it looks like Francis/Jones facing off in the crowd at the PFL show stole all the headlines

 

Man judging is garbage tonight. Two of the worst stoppage decisions I’ve seen in a long time in two of the first four prelims.

 

Quite the night so far! Haha

 

That fight with the slam/headbutt had one of the dumbest review decisions I’ve seen and the dude took tons of unnecessary damage regardless. Absolute wrong use of review. Between that and Keith Petersen fucking up big time it’s been a very interesting prelims lol

 

hell of a chin on Vettori

 

I don’t think anyone had Vettori/Cannonier pegged as a fight of the year candidate. I was totally expecting a dud, but damn this fight is great.

 

Sandhagen beats Chito and Chito gets the higher profile matchup


Alrighty

 

Damn that card is fire.

Aljo/O’Malley
Weili/Lemos
Cejudo/Vera
Font/Yadong
Garry/Neal

For how crappy 289 was, the next three PPV’s are pretty awesome.

 

I thought the same!

 

Yeah that’s a raw deal. Usman/Chito and Sandhagen/Cejudo makes way more sense. I figure they think that Chito is a more popular and easier fight for Cejudo than Sandhagen.

 

was listening to Ariel’s pod sitting at work


He mentioned PFL was in talks to buy Bellator late last year and dropped out. But they’ve recently got some new investors and that they’re making a huge push to combine the two companies to solidify a #2 company in the US.

Verbiage from people have been weird on it. But sounds like PFL would essentially want to merge and bring in every top 10 fighter from each Bellator division to strengthen the roster.

 

That would be great. Hopefully PFL could get out of being on ESPN if that happens and keep the showtime deal that Bellator has. ESPN would promote them even less if they became a serious option for UFC fighters. I think PFL needs to rethink their structure though. The season structure just isn’t working. It didn’t work for Bellator back in the day and things always end up changing due to injuries, suspensions, etc.

 

Shevchenko vs Grasso 2 FN Sept. 16th.

 

Oh shit! Love to see it
