Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 2, 2021 Paid Members Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) month out, but why not... Bellator's first show of 2021, new broadcaster and a whole new vibe. I genuinely think this is gonna be the best year in Bellator's history, and it's starting off good! Remember this sucker will air live over here on BBC iplayer. The card is growing on a daily basis, so i'll add fights as we go. Main Card: Patricio Pitbull vs. Emmanuel Sanchez - Featherweight World Title & Featherweight GP Semi-Final Usman Numagamedov vs. Mike Hamel Neiman Gracie vs. Julian Jackson Alejandra Lara vs. Kana Watanabe Matt Mitrione vs. Tyrell Fortune Prelims: Magomed Magomedov vs. Jared Scoggins Keoni Diggs vs. Mandel Nallo Roger Huerta vs. Chris Gonzalez Nice to see them lead in with Pitbull. I'll be honest, ive slept on his greatness over the year but recently its really been highlighted that he's arguably the best Featherweight in the world. Its helped that Chandler's UFC run started so well, its made people go back and look at the last time Pitbull fought Chandler, a fight in which Pitbull actually moved up a weight class, and yep... Pitbull smushed him in a minute. Pitbull/Sanchez met once before in 2018 with Pitbull winning a decision. I cant recall the fight off the top of my head but Sanchez is a guy i never count out, full on energizer bunny type fighter than give anyone a hard night if they dont keep up with him. That said, im hoping we eventually end up with a Pitbull/McKee final. The debut of Usman Nurmagamedov is the other highlight. People were shocked he signed with Bellator rather than the UFC but you only have to do a little digging online to see that's regarded as one of the best prospects in the entire sport, looking forward to that.

jimufctna24 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Huerta is going to get rinsed. Gonzalez is legit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Gonzalez is the dude who beat Tokov's younger brother last year. Although I did think he was fortunate to get the decision, the bout itself was fantastic, and easily one of the best Bellator hosted in 2020.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 25, 2021 Author Paid Members Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I dont ever wanna be happy wity someone losing a job, but he had to go. Hopefully he's still there in some capacity. Ive said previously, i dont mind him anchoring the show and all that stuff, i just didnt like him calling the fights.

jimufctna24 Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 I think he had to go altogether. I don't think he gives a toss about the sport. He's probably only there because he's a familiar face and mates with Big John. Granted, he comes across as a really nice bloke, but I would rather he do something else with his time. I'm sure he will get another gig once the pandemic eases up. The question now is will Mauro be able to bring out the best in Big John?

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 30, 2021 Author Paid Members Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Bellator's poster game looking strong too: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted March 30, 2021 Paid Members Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 That is a cool poster. Better than most of the cack UFC ones lately. I’m definitely going to make a point of catching this show. I think Pitbull vs Sanchez has serious barnburner potential and I’m looking forward to getting a proper look at Usman Nurmagomedov and Magomed Magomedov. Huerta getting fucked up in the curtain jerker can piss off though. I’ll just pretend it never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 It's annoying that Magomedov is stuck on the prelims. I get why they instead have a heavyweight fight on the main card. But I couldn't give a toss about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
