What the fuck has happened and why is it stopping, I actually sometimes prefer watching bellator over a UFC fight night card and have done a few times this year. I'm genuinely abit shocked it's being talked about Check earlier in the thread, man - it's looking increasingly likely that Bellator will be subsumed into PFL. Quote
Kfogg1991 Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Just checked the bellator final card for this weekend and apparently the Ryan bader title fight has been cancelled due to Illness. Shame as I was looking forward too that fight however one of those things I guess Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 3, 2023 Author Paid Members Posted October 3, 2023 Bit of a shame that. Not that I'm clamouring to see a Ryan Bader title defence or anything, but it was nice to see an pretty unheralded Brit get his chance at the belt, I fancied Vassell to win too. Quite surprised they didn't keep Bader on the card and just draft in a heavyweight, but maybe they are thinking if PFL does continue to run Bellator shows they can keep Bader for another day. Still, 300 is a weird ass show. I posted it here when it was originally announced, but 4 title fights on one show sounds like a big deal but it's 4 of the most underwhelming title fights the promotion has put on in years all grouped together. Still might be alright though, Cyborg should cut through Zingano with ease and Usman Nurmagamedov is always worth your time. Quote

I'm actually kinda excited for this show tbh we're going to be in Majorca and there's a two hour time difference so I won't be watching any of it live unfortunately, however I'm bringing our firestick with us for the apartment and I'll get up and watch abit of it then the main card by the pool with a beer Quote

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 7, 2023 Author Paid Members Posted October 7, 2023 Tonight's final card, im actually put this in front of the UFC in the viewing order. The addition of an audience has swayed me. Might do some stuff to commemorate the 300 mark too. Quote
Dai Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 Unfortunately I watched the main card, It was the shits. Quote

Paid Members WeeAl Posted October 11, 2023 Paid Members Posted October 11, 2023 Not overly surprised at that. It looked pants on paper too. The Bellator curse continues. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 13, 2023 Author Paid Members Posted October 13, 2023 The event basically summed up modern day Bellator. The added pagentry and celebration of the 300 shows was a nice touch but as always, the fights didn't deliver. The undercard was decent enough, but the main card was a massive letdown, fun Cyborg squash aside. The fights weren't great on paper and they didn't exceed any expectation. Bellator for whatever reason just doesn't deliver in the cage. Quote
d-d-d-dAz Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 Fabian Edwards has signed a multi-fight deal with Bellator. Nope, no idea either. Quote

Wouldn't it simply carry over to PFL if they do merge? Maybe PFL is wavering and they're trying to guarantee Fabian will be on the roster to make the takeover more appealing (it's a stretch, but I can't think why else). Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 21, 2023 Author Paid Members Posted October 21, 2023 Who knows? With Showtime shutting its combat sports doors in December its all but certain 301 will be the last Bellator event in its current form. Id like to see them exist seperately but have crossovers on the roster, just have them fight between both promotions. ...oh, and get rid of Big John and Josh Thomson. Quote
