McKee should win and hopefully he gets a titleshot soon.

lovato vs salter is the most intersting match
 
Cool with this...This is going to be a good card. Hope Salter wins personally
 
Bout as good as they could do.
 
Solid short notice opponent.

Macapa is still a big step up for McKee
 
  • Rafael Lovato Jr. vs. John Salter
So if Rory manages to beat Moose then what? He has 3 fights in a row at 170lbs before defending 185?

Salter and Lovato are getting screwed over.

I feel like i'm the only fight fan left who hates these superfights.
 
Mammoth heavyweight Steve Mowrywill make his Bellator debut at September’s Bellator 205 event.

MMAjunkie today verified with a Bellator official that Mowry (4-0 MMA, 0-0 MMA) will make his promotional debut at Bellator 205 against another debuting fighter in Ben Moa (4-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).
 
Cool fight. I like that card.

McKee is everything Gallagher pretended to be. Bellator did a fantastic job signing him and building him up.

I'd rather see McKee fight Mark Teixeira. WIll they ever give this dude a real opponent or is the idea to just run up his record against cans?

Surely you troll? Macapa is a solid fighter and will give AJ troubles.

I hear you there. I do not care for them either for the most part . sure they are fun but cutting the line is not cool. These guys signed contracts and are fighting hard to get their shot
 
Really solid card and great replacement gonna be a tough fight for McKee for sure his biggest test yet.

That’s all Bellator cares about unfortunately. The LHW title is already on hold while Bader fights in the HW Grand Prix. Now the MW belt could potentially be put on hold if Rory wins.

I get that Rory wants to fight as much as possible, but every fight he’s in these days puts him out of commission for 6+ months. Can’t beg to fight all the time if you take as much damage as he has the past few fights. Can’t expect the Rory/Fitch fight to take place until mid 2019.

To be fair LHW has no clear contenders.

I agree with the Rory/Mousasi fuck up fight. It does not make sense. WW is stacked and there are some MWs that deserve the spotlight.

They will have to make interim title at MW
