Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 18, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 18, 2020 If you wanna put together superfight matchups amongst the current Bellator roster, theres not many better you could put together than this... Main Card: Gegard Mousasi vs. Douglas Lima (Middleweight Title Fight) Henry Corrales vs. Brandon Girtz Veta Arteaga vs. Desiree Yanez Prelims: Sabbah Houmasi vs. Bobby Voelker Nick Newell vs. Zach Zane Cody Law vs. Orlando Ortega Johnny Eblen vs. Taylor Johnson Jared Scoggins vs. Toby Misech Adam Borics vs. Erick Sanchez Ty Gwerda vs. Dalton Rosa Jake Hager vs. Brandon Calton Main card details are pretty scarce considering the show is less than two weeks away. It doesnt really matter given that main event though does it? still theres some main card regulars on those prelims so the main card may end up pretty solid. In the main event they are fighting for the vacant Middleweight Title. Mousasi held until June last year until he lost to Rafael Lovato Jr. who subsequently retired and vacated. Now they've put together a super fight between Mousasi and current 170lb champion Douglas Lima. That main event has me all fired up. I'll update this thread as we go...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 18, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 18, 2020 This is THE fight for me as far as Bellator are concerned in 2020. Big fan of both and it’s a hell of a fight stylistically. This and Khabib vs Gaethje in the same week!
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 18, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted October 18, 2020 yeh! falls nicely on the Thursday again so it doesnt clash with Silva/Hall, Usky/Chisora on the Saturday. I love this time slot.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 18, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted October 18, 2020 lil wand-esque poll added ?
jimufctna24 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 4 votes in the poll and only 1 person has voted for Moose. And the person who voted for Moose mostly did so because he couldn't bear to pick against him.
Paid Members WeeAl Posted October 19, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 19, 2020 My vote for Lima is due to feeling he's at the peak of his powers, and thinking that Mousasi is past that peak a bit. Today's Lima Vs Mousasi from 3-4 years ago, I'd pick Mousasi. Though saying that, you'd think that there should be a decent size advantage for Gegard.
Zebra Kid Mark Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Great news. I'm excited about seeing him fight again, although looking at his opponent I think he's been fed another scrub. He only has a 2-0 record which is similar to Hager's I guess but still no real step up on competition compared to his other fights. It's much of the same. I'm hoping he wins though of course.
jimufctna24 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 @Egg Shen Bizarrely, Hager's fight is scheduled for the prelims: MMAFighting: Quote The event takes place Thursday, Oct. 29 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The main card airs on CBS Sports Network after prelims on CBSSports.com. Hager vs. Calton (2-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) will take place as part of the preliminary card. I assume some of the prelims listed in the OP will form part of the main card.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 20, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted October 20, 2020 ahh i assumed it would be the main card, if that prelims portion is correct who knows what they have lined up for the main card cause there are some solid names on that undercard. Ive really been enjoying the prelim portions of Bellator recently, its easy to skate over it but when you look into them theres some real exciting prospects on them. They are worth watching if you have the time. The Thursday thing helps.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 20, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 20, 2020 Bellator prelims used to be pretty shite as well didn’t they. Occasionally you’d get the odd gem but it was usually just loads and loads of cold matchups between locals of wherever the show was being held. They’ve definitely stepped it up recently to where there’s quality more spread throughout the cards.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 20, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted October 20, 2020 yeh they used to be full of local ticket sellers. Id imagine it'll go back toward that when crowds get back in, but they've been real good recently.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 21, 2020 Author Paid Members Posted October 21, 2020 card is complete, 3 fight main and 8 prelims. Making allowance for the main event going a full 5 rounds i guess.
jimufctna24 Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Main event aside, the prelims are more interesting than the main card.
