Zebra Kid Mark Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Are there any plans for DAZN to launch in the UK? Is it possible to subscribe over here or is it Geo blocked? Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 27, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted March 27, 2019 I think they've mentioned that it could eventually. Its just having them being able to move into the market with the sports to make it viable. They'd need to secure Premier League rights or something along them lines, everything worthwhile is tied up over here. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 28, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted March 28, 2019 caught Bellator 218...standard affair. I'd anticipated a barburner main event but Kharakhanyan seemed intent on stalling his way to victory which is unlike him. Sanchez pulled it out through purely trying harder to finish the fight. Poor fight. Highlight of the card was easily the Tokov/Harris fight. Tokov dropped heavily in round 1 but came back to stop Harris in 2. Cracking little fight. Linton Vassell's move to heavyweight fell flat. Looks an absolute beast at heavyweight but Vassell never really seems to put it all together. That said, he had a tough first out. 219 is friday, should be much better... Quote
jimufctna24 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Mousasi is back in training. Here he is with MVP (what a facial expression). I do wonder who Mousasi will fight next. He was scheduled to fight Lovato Jr in January before he withdrew with injury. Coker seemed non-committal when asked if the fight would be re-booked. A rematch with Machida would make sense for Mousasi (Mousasi loathes Machida). But last I heard Machida is fighting Sonnen over the summer. Mousasi was interviewed in Holland a month or so ago, and seemed open to a fight with Bader. Now, that would be an awesome match-up on paper. Bader and Mousasi are the two best fighters Bellator have under contract. But I don't particularly like how Mousasi matches up with Bader. I think Bader's size and wrestling would be too much for Mousasi. Bader has matured over the past three years and is unlikely to give Mousasi many openings. But we shall see. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 28, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted March 28, 2019 if he defends his belt it has to be against Lovato Jr. surely Quote
jimufctna24 Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 And there it is. Mousasi vs Lovato Jr set for London in June - https://mmajunkie.com/2019/03/gegard-mousasi-vs-rafael-lovato-jr-title-fight-bellator-london-june-paul-daley-james-gallagher Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 29, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted March 29, 2019 awesome! id have gone to that at Wembley Arena, im away though Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 29, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted March 29, 2019 Bellator 219 is live on Sky Sports at 1am tonight... Guaranteed fireworks on that main card. Daniel Straus returns in the co-main after his motorcycle accident, some comeback this... Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 30, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 30, 2019 Just seen this and now I don’t know whether to wind my ass or scratch my watch. Quote
jimufctna24 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Bellator have signed Josh Barnett. He's already fought and beat the likes of Mir, Nelson and Sergei. So I can imagine they will match him with Meathead. Although, I wouldn't mind finally seeing Fedor vs Barnett for the nostalgia value. Or even Rampage vs Barnett. I assume Bader will defend against Kongo next. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted April 4, 2019 Paid Members Posted April 4, 2019 Helwani tweeted that Chael Sonnen vs Lyoto Machida is in the works for the MSG show in June. Both clearly past their best but I still like that fight. Quote
Paid Members WeeAl Posted April 4, 2019 Paid Members Posted April 4, 2019 I hadn't even realised Bellator was running MSG this year. It's a good fight to make as I'm sure Bellator are happy with either result. If it wasn't this for Chael, the newly signed Barnett might have been some nice booking. Quote
jimufctna24 Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I have a feeling that Bellator will be giving Fedor a call for this. New York has a massive Russian population. A lot of Russians attended Bellator's MSG show in 2017, and left once Fedor had lost to Mitrione. I would be up for Fedor vs Barnett, Fedor vs Rampage or Fedor vs Sergei. But I guess Bellator might match Fedor up with Nelson, or have him fight Meathead again. I watched Bellator's press conference for their London show yesterday. Coker said that the first hour of the main show will air on SKY from 9pm-10pm. Then the final two hours will air on Channel 5 from 10pm-Midnight. I assume SKY will show Gallagher's fight. He's created a bit of a buzz. Even if his shtick is atrocious. Quote
