[InfinityLens]

Any word on the ratings?

 

[melvinj0]

It's funny, the main card has 4 solid technical match up and then it has Lashley/Thompson 2 which is going to be an extremely sloppy mess. Still excited for all the fights though. Stoked to see Huddelston again as well, he looked great in his last fight.

 

[wheelz]

Those odds for the rickels chandler fight are crazy, I'm picking Dave straight up. Too much wear and tear on Mike, while Rickels has changed his life lately trying to prove something to himself, looked great vs alessio and in recent training footage, plus is seriously looking for revenge here.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Im really excited for Thompson vs Lashley. Big Colossus fan but I think he loses this one. Still pulling for him. Bobby is boring to watch.

 

[XCuTioNeR]

Will be shown live on ESPNDeportes as well.

 

[wheelz]

Cc27 said brooks has 2 fights left on his contract and then he's gonna test free agency. My guess is he fights one of the pit bull bros, then rickels if he wins tonight, and then its off to the ufc.

 

[Cousin Oliver]

Shamrock vs. Angle announcement tonight?

 

[Go Go Plata]

Vegas knows the deal. Straus by wreckage

 

[wheelz]

Shamrock vs. Angle announcement tonight?

I think its possible. I didn't believe shamrock would actually get in the cage and fight kimbo which is worse than angle fighting. Angles had his neck injuries but so has Tito, plus angle just takes him down and handles him on the ground anyways.

 

[airic_15]

Great card

 

[RedCansLoom16]

Is Grande calling the fights tonight? I know the Celtics are playing tonight, would assume that takes priority. But then again there are far less Bellator shows.

Bellator discussion threads should be sticked in the heavies. /controversial statement

It looks like Grande will be all-in on Bellator when there's a show on? His twitter seems to be more Bellator-full than Celtics today. I read something ridiculous that I want to get checked out - Jim Ross will be a guest in the booth tonight, along with Kurt Angle.

I actually agree, we would get so many more eyes on the event and a much wider discussion if this were in F2 instead of WW. Plus, it's a solid card and there's going to be shenanigans aplenty - Rampage is in town, and that Fedor announcement sounds likely.

Or shamrock just takes a dive like he did with kimbo. If they make that match up it will be the saddest shit ever.

He took a kimbo punch flush in the face and the ref called it as ken was clearly done...are you talking about kimbo getting out of the choke? Guys get out of chokes sometimes.

 

[basedworld]

War lashley and held

 

[Dart Feld]

Will tune in for the main card.

 

[Tugboat]

Guy from my gym is fighting.

I'm not doubting shamrock took a punch flush in the face but everything before that was bullshit. The grappling to the takedown to the choke and Hogan type escape. It was a clear work. Shamrock took a dive

Hogan type escape? It was a clear work? You keep repeating this or that was a work and its BS. If someone came in here not seeing the actual fight, they would probably believe that it was a work because of your posts.

Also, ken shamrock is 55 years old. Do you think he would agree to do a work that involved him taking a flush limbo punch to the face? Because if everything other than the punch was a work, why not just have the finish as ANYTHING OTHER THAN TAKING A FLUSH KIMBO PUNCH IN THE FACE? Especially when you're in your mid fifties agewise
