Its on Dave from 9pm. I had no idea about this, thanks for the head up, buddy! Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 6, 2018 Author Paid Members Posted July 6, 2018 Getting this in early but Bellator pull double duty next weekend. 202: Not interesting in that main event in the slightest. Bellator are really pushing the women but it just isn't doing it for me. Im not really sure how the women will help pull in viewers when Bellator are noted to be taking a hit in viewership. Im sure there's still an audience for it, but outside of the top fights in the UFC i just have no desire to see it anymore. That co-main event is legit though. That's one of the better fights Bellator can put on at the moment. Dantas/McDonald is worth everyones time. Julia Budd vs. Talita Nogueira - Women's Featherweight Title Eduardo Dantas vs. Michael McDonald Chris Honeycutt vs. Leo Leite Yaroslav Amosov vs. Gerald Harris 203: This is another MMA/Kickboxing event from Italy. Weichel/Pitbull 2 is a rematch from a 2015 fight. Weichel was putting a bit of a beating on Pitbull that night but got caught by a hook late in round 2 and lost by KO. Weichel may be the most underrated and under the radar fighter in Bellator (8-1 against good opposition), i think he might be taking home the belt next Saturday. Don't know a lot about Jamie Sloane but going by his record he's a bit of a kill or be killed fighter so him vs. Sakara is perfect. Allesio Sakara losing his dream title fight in Italy was tough last December and a bit of a strange thing to see but it'll be cool to see him fight in Italy again because the crowd will go banana. Patricio Pitbull vs. Daniel Weichel - Featherweight Title Allesio Sakara vs. Jamie Sloane Andrey Koreshkov vs. Vaso Bakocevic Simone La Preziosa vs. Radu Maxim Quote
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) I see Bellator have announced a Welterweight tournament, which starts 29/9 to kick off their DAZN deal. It will feature Yaroslav Amosov, Jon Fitch, Neiman Gracie, Andrey Koreshkov, Lorenz Larkin, Douglas Lima, Rory MacDonald, Michael Page and Ed Ruth. Coker sure loves a "World Grand Prix", which I'm delighted about. Edited July 19, 2018 by ColinBollocks Quote

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted July 19, 2018 Bet Daley vs MVP doesn't end up happening. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 19, 2018 Author Paid Members Posted July 19, 2018 Looks like they are headed in that direction, it needs to happen. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted July 19, 2018 I don't doubt it's the plan, just can't see them both ending up in the cage opposite each other anytime soon. Either one of them will get injured or MVP will somehow suddenly end up boxing a 11-9 Latvian on Dave instead. I really hope it happens but it's just one of those fights I struggle to see materialising. Quote
the_mole Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Apparently Neiman Gracie Vs Jon Fitch & Ed Ruth Vs Yaroslav Amosav will be fighting to get into the tournament as 3 of them are pretty unknown & Jon Fitch is quite boring, Ruth & Fitch probably win. Quote

Paid Members WeeAl Posted July 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted July 19, 2018 I heard Meltzer on Observer Radio today saying that the Welterweight title will be defended in every round, so whoever draws Rory first, will be doing so for a spot in the semi-final, as well as for the belt. I love that idea. Quote
the_mole Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Pretty shitty for Rory, unless they make all GP fights 5 rounders. They could easily do that though, they've had the HW gp headline 4 separate events, I know why they didn't do 5 rounds there as most of those fights you probably wouldn't want to watch 25 minutes of it. Quote
d-d-d-dAz Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Scott Coker has already said they’re looking at making all Welterweight Grand Prix fights 5 rounds. If Rory leaves with the title, that’s a hell of a fucking story. Quote
the_mole Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 According to GAD, the Bellator have signed over 30 fighters from Europe, these will most likely be the Western Europe series which will be similar level too BAMMA & Cage Warriors. Norman Parke,Jim Wallhead are a few names mentioned. The Western European cards will have 6 events per year and won't be shown in the US, you'll probably need to ask Daz if DAZN plan to air these shows, I think they are on 5Spike over here and probably have guys like Aaron Chambers headlining. They will still do UK & Ireland numbered shows but they will be separate. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 28, 2018 Author Paid Members Posted July 28, 2018 Yeh id imagine DAZN need content so they'll probably air it all. They'll be airing all the UK boxing Matchroom. Like the sound of this. Quote
