Agreed, Yoel just sucks against counterstrikers or patient ones, ala Izzy or Phil Davis. Match him with guys who will bring action and you will get a good boutI actually like this match up better after Romero's fight with Polizzi. Yoel still has some fire in him, he just needs the right dancing partner. Melvin will bring it
Just keep Kongo away from any more events. Bader/Kongo literally emptied a full arena who was hyped after seeing tons of finishes on the main cardBellator is killing the European series. Gold mine for them.
Yeah this was for all intents and purposes, the first real Bellator French card. They have a lot of work to do if they want to continue to fill the arena. Gallon is someone to build on. They’ve got a couple of French kids who won on the prelims to re-sign, but it doesn’t look like there’s a bonafide standout to main event the next Paris event. It certainly can’t be a 47 year old Kongo again right?Just keep Kongo away from any more events.

I don’t think they care for Romero. He’s just a big name that was gifted to them by UFC and they’re using him to sell tickets in Europe. They’re moving forward with MW without even thinking about him in the picture.Pointless fight.
Yoel should go to MW to see if you can get a Moose fight out of him. Just go beat Salter and get a title shot.
I don't know, I think they give Yoel a title shot against Gegard early next year. Tokov fights Gegard late in the year and after that Middleweight has no clear contendersI don’t think they care for Romero.

Yeah I think if Yoel continues to win, that fight could headline in Europe. Probably the next Paris card. But I don’t think they are putting too much into him. I think both of them sell tickets in Europe on their own. Together would be a big fight no doubt.I don't know, I think they give Yoel a title shot against Gegard early next year.

Can he make MW tho?Pointless fight.

Sold out event according to Coker
It looked full from the crowd shots so I believe it.Never a gate or attendance figure though, wonder why.

Aside from the UFC, Bellator is the only other promotion that probably profits from live gate. So, whatever they make is an accomplishment. Even PFL doesnt waste their time in live gate.Never a gate or attendance figure though, wonder why.
