Paid Members Egg Shen Posted February 20, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Bellator returns to Ireland on Saturday. This will probably be a decent cleanser to go into after watching England beat Wales in the Six Nations so i'll appreciate this one live. Main Card: Yaroslav Amosov vs. Logan Storley - Unified Welterweight Championship Pedro Carvalho vs. Jeremy Kennedy Peter Queally vs. Bryce Logan Sinead Kavanagh vs. Janay Harding Ciaran Clarke vs. Leonardo Sinis Prelims: Kenny Mokhonoana vs. Chad McCintosh Karl Moore vs. Maciej Rozanski Charlie Ward vs. Mike Shipman Brian Moore vs. Luca Iovine Oliver Enkamp vs. Luca Poclit Daniel Scatizzi vs. Dmytrii Hrytsenko Elina Kallionidou vs. Jena Bishop Richie Smullen vs. Piotr Niedzielski Gokhan Saricam vs. Oleg Popov Khasan Magomedsharipov vs. Rafael Hudson Norbet Novenyi Jr. vs. Andy Manzolo Darragh Kelly vs. Dorval Jordan Asael Adjoudj vs. Liam McCracken 18 fights!!! fucking 18. That's about 6 too many. I have a bit of an issue with this card. It really does feel like an Irish card for the sake of it. The main event is great, it's a rematch to one of the better fights in recent Bellator history, it's to unify the belts at 170lb and should be great again, I ain't sure how much the Irish crowd will want to see it though. The co-main event is also a relevant 145lb for the promotion. The rest of the card is filled with Irish so will make for a decent atmosphere but it feels like most were just matched with someone they plucked out of a random fight generator. Doesn't feel like there's any stakes or rankings in play here (Bellator's rankings are a joke anyway), it's just a bunch of random fights. Still the Irish will root for their own so it'll probably make for a good show. More to be added, I just wanted to get the thread up...  Edited February 20, 2023 by Egg Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Yeah, Sinis shouldn't be fighting if he's in that kind of shape before the weigh-ins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
