  1. A new era for Bellator. Thought i'd let the old thread go and start a new one for this new Championship Series the PFL are keeping together. Can't help but feel this is the promotion of unwanted toys now as a bunch of the Bellator roster has moved into the PFL for the upcoming seasons, and only a couple of up and coming PFL fighters appear on this show, it does feel like leftover fighters. Still, holding a Bellator belt now will lead you into the big Bellator vs. PFL shows so there's a goal beyond the belt now which I think is pretty cool. I'm interested to see if this is basically Bellator with PFL production which would be great, because I think Bellator's production was a big reason why the show wasn't translating well to TV (coupled with the fact that the fights rarely delivered). Hopefully they keep Big John off commentary too. The show has been moved to DAZN too, so I guess that means the BBC deal is toast. I'll double check that later in the week though. This really is standard Bellator Ireland fair, but they were always some of Bellator's best shows. Here's the skinny: A lot of the undercard looks like standard Bellator Europe matchmaking, just matching their English and Irish figthers up randomly but lots to like, and a very strong main card. Nice to see them squeeze Pitbull on here after his Saudi cancellation too.

    anyone been to see the live show yet? took my daughter yesterday, really good show and she loved it. The run time flys by but there's a few real lovely moments in there as we well as a few really good audience participation parts which I won't spoil. I'll admit I had to hold it together in the closing few seconds, didn't wanna have a tear running down my face when the lights went up.
  3. Yeah that would be a great number 1 contender fight for Manchester
  4. Mokaev definitely deserved the shot, and I can see why he'd be very pissed off about it. Just goes to show what a highlight reel performance can do for you. Maybe Mokaev has pissed off the brass somewhere along the line because he's a fairly outspoken fighter.
  5. Can confirm Filter were excellent, great show. Finished at half 10 though the bastards.
  6. Coker was offered a position but turned it down to do his own thing: I’ll tell you honestly: I thought about it. The opportunity was there. But how I felt was, it’s time to go. It’s time for me, for myself, to be an entrepreneur. I love that the most. I worked for Viacom and Paramount for nine years (as Bellator president). It was a great experience. I’m glad I did it. Paramount was very good to me. I learned a lot over there. But I’m an entrepreneur at heart. It’s really the first job (working for someone other than myself) I took as an adult.”
  7. Yeah, that's an odd booking but like you @wandshogun09i like it.
  8. Oh, didnt mention it in the initial post but Dillian Whyte is coming back on a lowkey show in Ireland on Sunday against professional punching bag Christian Hammer. I dont think hes fully cleared so is coming back on an Irish boxing license. Typical shadiness.
  9. Yeah its a good looking show, i've got some family stuff on too so i'll be watching with the luxury of the fast forward button, gonna be a long one.
  10. Already have, curfew is 10pm
  11. Shite UFC show this weekend so i'll be prioritising the boxing. Here's the slate: Friday (UFC Fight Pass): Saturday (TNT Sports): Saturday (DAZN): Lovely stuff
  12. Guess this is a comeback, Scott Coker is running some kind of new show in May:
  13. Mark Coleman is on the mend, but this video is heavy. Dont feel quite right to be looking in on a private moment like this but here we go:
  14. Off to see Filter tomorrow, one of the very few bucketlist type bands left on on my list, absolutely delighted.
  15. So you'd rather see them have a low level boxing match? Or none of the above
  16. I mean, I love both fighters but surely everyone would rather seem fight MMA?
  17. Tyson Pedro's retirement was only from MMA then, he's off to boxing:
  18. Boxing News has clearly been waiting to and took a lot of joy creating a cover like this, hell of a picture though:
  19. Mark Coleman is in a bad way after a house fire:
  20. The rebuilding job they've done on Joshua has been second to none to be fair. Eddie Hearn had to retreat into his shell for a while but he's giving it the full blown "best heavyweight on the planet" treatment again. If Fury beats Usyk, the potential Fury/AJ fight will probably be bigger than ever, who'd have thought that a couple of years ago?
  21. Didnt end up seeing the main card cause i got drowned in Boxing and UFC stuff. What a weird ending, guess they run it back at an even bigger arena next time? As for that weird KO. Has there been anything else made of that? It looked to me like Groguhe had a bit of a breakdown and just wanted to be knocked out. He walked out with no music, and didn't look interested before it started. I aint sure if it that was his style as much it was there was something wrong with the fella.
