Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 8, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted May 8, 2021 cracking show that The main card delivered top to bottom. * Rumble/Augusto was a nutty one. Augusto has something for sure, seemed super athletic and not intimidated in the slightest by Rumble, especially fighting with a busted hand. He paid for it in the end and got flatlined but id watch him again. Great comeback for Rumble. The knock on Rumble has always been he lacked a little heart, hell of a front runner but crumbles under adversity, he fought through some here. This was better for him than a blowout. * Sergio Pettis fought a blinder. I had it a competitive shutout. He just best Archuleta in nearly every exchange. Over 5 rounds Pettis is gonna be a tough nut to crack. I didnt expect this. * Arguably the performance of MVP's career. Anderson is a legit challenge and he was just befuddled. MVP night not be the best fighter in the world, but he has a style that can make anyone look stupid if they cant deal with it. Props to Anderson for trying to fight on through that. * Pitbull/Queally was a good scrap too. A great example of why its always worth trying to score damage. Pitbull was 2 rounds up but Queally gets the win via doctor stoppage. Queally called for a Patricio fight but he's more likely to fight Patricky again. * Highlight of the prelims was Johnny Campbell who beat Henry Corrales then proceeded to threaten to murder James Gallagher. Nutcase.
jimufctna24 Posted May 8, 2021 Posted May 8, 2021 Last night laid the table for some cracking fights down the line: Amosov/Lima vs MVP Nemkov vs Rumble (this one is set in stone) Pettis vs Horiguchi
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 8, 2021 I like this guy. If it wasn’t for the fact that I want to see Nemkov vs Rumble I’d have been rooting for him last night. Fun fight as well.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 8, 2021 @jimufctna24 or @Egg Shen while I’m here, I thought you’d be the best to ask which Bellator fight is this from? Saw it on Twitter earlier and cracked up.

Saw it on Twitter earlier and cracked up. You can just about make out the Bellator 158 logo on the cage. So I am going to guess it's Francis Carmont vs Lukasz Klinger
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 8, 2021 Found it. Turns out it’s Gregor Babene vs Brandon Farran from Bellator 150. Never heard of either of them. https://www.stack.com/a/mma-fighter-accidentally-punches-official-square-in-the-face

Kfogg1991 Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 I am shocked to say this but bellator wiped the floor with the ufc this past weekend. this main card really delivered.
Dai Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Just getting around to watching this, has anything been said about how legal those elbows were in the Pitbull fight? Surely they were 12-6. Does it matter if the aggressor is on the bottom when doing them? I know Big John called them legal, but not sure how, as there was no angle at all put on them. Was I the only one to notice how that picture they use for the Cyborg/Smith banner in the cage looks absolutley nothing like Cyborg? I think its been photoshopped to within an inch of its life.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 11, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted May 11, 2021 i think the 12-6 elbow thing only applies if you are striking on from a 12 o'clock position and coming down, like when on Jones fought Matt Hamill.
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 11, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2021 Well this is a good start to Rumble’s Bellator career. https://www.mmafighting.com/platform/amp/2021/5/11/22430849/anthony-rumble-johnson-arrested-and-charged-with-identity-theft-following-debut-win-in-bellator-mma?utm_campaign=mmafighting&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&__twitter_impression=true
jimufctna24 Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 Just about to post that. Rumble has always been an asshole, so I am not really surprised that he's been arrested again. Anyway, Rumble's arrest possibly opens the door for Nemkov vs Anglickas. Or perhaps even Nemkov vs Romero if the latter can get medical clearance.
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 11, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted May 11, 2021 i still wanna see Nemkov/Rumble
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 11, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2021 Yeah, Rumble’s a prick. Exciting to watch but an absolute bellend. I’ve got doubts on Yoel Romero’s fighting future, to be honest. Him failing the medical makes me wonder if the UFC already knew he was ‘damaged goods’ when they let him go. That on top of him not exactly being a spring chicken makes me question if we’ll see him in the cage again.
