Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Thought Bellator's first show was worthy of its own discussion thread. This takes place tonight! it's live on Sky Sports too. Excellent little main card: Sergio Pettis vs. Ricky Bandejas Jordan Mein vs. Jason Jackson Tywan Claxton vs. Jay Jay Wilson Aaron Pico vs. Solo Hatley Jr. Excellent main event, Pettis' Bellator debut was stella and Bandejas has that reputation as a spoiler. Gonna be a fun one. The return of Jordan Mein after a 2 year retirement, Mein was once tipped as the next big thing. Claxton/Wilson is a little sleeper. Claxton is the name here burtWilson is 4-0 in Bellator and is a bit of a Kiwi BJJ phenom, his fights dont go long. Pico/Hatley. Everyone knows Pico but Hatley is coming off a decision win over a killer like Gaston Bolanjos so dont expect him to be intimidated. Pico is always must see anyway. I like the fuck outta this actually, should be short and sweet. Edited July 24, 2020 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all worthy of their own threads in my opinion. The giant mega-thread is why I ended up missing many of them. In fact, you seem to be the resident Bellator dude, so I nominate you to make sure these threads happen and idiots like me don't miss good fight cards! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2020 That photo of Bandejas though. Bonkers. Looks like some random cunt off his bollocks on pills walking up to you in the smoking area trying to make a point about something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 24, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 24, 2020 decent short little highlight package by Sky featuring the guys on tonights card: Just ignore the Mike Goldberg calls and you'll enjoy that. The guys a human soundboard at this point, awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebra Kid Mark Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 That was a hell of a lot of "JUST LIKE THAT" phrases. Great video though and thanks for creating this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think hes made a genuine call in over a decade. The definition of phoning it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you've done in this thread is ample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 The Jamaican Shamrock. He's a regional fighter who acted as a late-replacement. He had one of the most tedious bouts I have seen in recent times on the prelims. Elsewhere, Pico, Pettis, and Jackson all did the business. I have a soft spot for Jackson, so I was chuffed he won. Wilson vs Claxton was a decent scrap as well. Although, like many others, I have no idea how one of the judges scored round 2 for Wilson.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted July 29, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2020 was a decent little show, the main event was alright but it fell into that old Sergio Pettis routine of the UFC where nothing memorable happens during his fights, they just sort of happen and someone wins a decision. Aaron Pico fought the smartest fight of his career and took zero damage, wasnt exciting but shows what hes capable of. Like you said Jackson and Wilson were the standout winners. Both upsets too. I really like the look of Jay Jay Wilson, aggressive submission fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
