Manhoef is going to mollywhop him. It's a pretty solid event; the co-main is interesting and the main event guarantees fireworks.

Last time we saw him fight, everyone found out that Raphael Butler is an asshole. That was some dirty shit he pulled in last fight, including the most blatant headbutt I've seen in awhile.

Manhoef loses a lot. He also gets knocked out quite a bit. I think he's the favorite and i'm cheering for him but it don't think it's some big mismatch.

Manhoef look awful in his last kickboxing fight.

Didn't he say the video circulating of his last KB fight was presented poorly? Or was that a different bout he was referring to? Like it shows him getting dropped by a front kick, then he makes the count, but the video cuts out like it's a TKO. He claimed he went the full bout length, losing a decision. I haven't watched a lot of his recent KB bouts though, so I'm not sure.

I do agree he loses a lot, especially lately. Still, people like to pretend Marshall's weakness is on the ground, when in reality six of his seven losses have all been by way of T/KO. Both guys are power punchers with reckless abandon. It makes for a really fun main event, but when it comes to a do or die duel, I'll take Melvin.
 
Can't beat last week for me unless manhoef comes out and stops him quick.

With leg strikes
 
Regardless of outcome, main event should rule.

I may be in the minority of predicting Ayala to upset against Butler.

Wish Irvin would've not gotten injured (again).
 
Yeah hes out, Carvalho stepped in as replacement to fight Rogers....Anthony Ruiz meets Nate James now on prelims.
 
They should just try and eventually get Cooper vs. Irvin going, since they both are so prone to injury anymore, that way neither screws over any more opponents
 
I love Melvin and Marshall. For the exact same reason, they are both exciting balls out fighters. I just want a memorable fight. Like the first Cyborg fight, that would be awesome.
 
My body will be READY in another 10 hours or so.


So excited for the main event.
 
Really solid card for prospects, not the biggest name card but one I'm actually really looking forward to.

Neves, Honeycutt, Bowman, Goiti, Bulter I dont think much of but we'll see. Then you have a main event that should be an awesome one or two round fight.

Then a few hours later we get Hunt/Nelson card. Gonna be a long night but a good one.

damn, i didn't even think about this. Bellator ends at 11:15pm et. And UFC starts at 12:30am et.
 
Pumped for this event, may not be the most talented guys in the world. But Rogers always brings it and has some flashy KO's and that Main Event couldn't be boring if it tried.

Going to be fun while it lasts but somebody is ending the show unconcious.
 
Now I have some dilemmas on this fight...

#1. Should I get Tito's handmade vodka or some beers
#2. How much Vcash to wager! :)
See you here tomorrow fellow Hardcores!
 
5 years ago Manhoef kicks Marshall's ribs to pieces, now???? Who f'ing knows.
I've got $20 on Marshall. (Well, a Marshall/Nelson/Nakai parlay)

C'mon RhinoTime!!111
 
I'm real excited for both the Neves and Honeycutt fights on the prelims, i'll watch the main card, but it doesn't excite me as much.
