Paid Members wandshogun09 7,765 Posted April 5 Paid Members Report Share Posted April 5 Coker’s on fire with naming these events. Much better than shite like ‘Sudden Impact’ and ‘High Voltage’ when the UFC used to name the events. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Egg Shen 2,343 Posted Monday at 08:20 PM Paid Members Report Share Posted Monday at 08:20 PM Good shout Jim, i was abit slow on the uptake with this one. The prelim card here looks real thin but imagine there's some proper prospects sprinkled in there, ill do some research. The main card is a strange one. Given Bellators recent progress this one feels like a card left over from 2018 or something. The Zingano debut might have felt a big deal a few years ago but i aint sure if anyone cares anymore? Bader/Machida feels from a different era too. Bader's stock took a big hit when Nemkov wrecked him and Machida is entering the tournament off 2 losses at 42 years old. Hard to get up for this one even if their first fight was one of the highlights of Lyoto's career: Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From what I've read, Law and Lugo are the standouts prospects on the prelim card. I have seen Rosa fight before. He fought on the undercard of the Mousasi vs Lima card last year. Yet I can't remember anything about him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Â Shes already had a Bellator match, it was a very forgetable match with someone who missed weight by 5 pounds. I remember watching it thinking the Zingano of old would have smashed this person, but Cat made pretty hard work out of it. Cant see anything other than Bader smashing Lyoto in this one, either, despite Baders last outing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimufctna24 1,608 Posted Tuesday at 12:57 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:57 PM Zingano and Machida are two of the more pleasant characters in the sport. But I have little interest in watching either of them fight in 2021. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Carbomb 5,862 Posted Tuesday at 01:04 PM Paid Members Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:04 PM One part of a post I'll always remember is when there was a discussion about a long-awaited match (I forget between whom), and @wandshogun09 was doing one of his awesome run-downs of the history leading up to the bout. The bit I remember was when the match fell through because the opponent got injured, and they offered it to Machida - "but Machida was busy drinking piss, and wasn't up for it". 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members wandshogun09 7,765 Posted Friday at 10:35 AM Paid Members Report Share Posted Friday at 10:35 AM It’s a shame Bader and Machida’s primes never lined up. Machida was in or at least still near his prime when they first fought but Bader wasn’t quite there yet. Now Bader’s probably at his best but Machida’s winding down. Wonder what today’s Bader vs the Machida of about 2009 would look like. People forget about the aura and how tricky Machida really was at his peak. Hardly had a glove laid on him until Shogun solved the riddle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
