[don't ask]

Is Bellator vs Rizin going to be free on youtube? I'm in Canada and can only find the Rizin event on Fite.tv, where I'm pretty sure I bought both of them last time.

Gonna be fun...the whole night of crazy fights starts off with a banger. Larkin vs Koreshkov!

Chat's lit

[TITS]

So they're only showing 5 fights on Showtime (while UFC 291 is still going)? Patricio fighting at 6 AM?

 

[EndlessCritic]

massive upset if akira pulls this off lol

 

[don't ask]

I've got else to do for the rest of today and am dying of boredom. Five freaking hours until the fun starts.

Interested in the viewing habits of fans today. Errol-Bud is obviously the big fight tonight…by a lot. It’s great that Bellator x Rizin will be on early, except that it’ll have overlap. Clearly two big fights on UFC PPV. And if Rizin had a quicker turnaround and started at 1AM, it might’ve generated more views, dependent upon Bud-Spence ending early, of course.

Sup hardcores

 

[panem-et-circenses]

The overlap isn’t looking good… just thinking about when Polish Power fights Pereira.

 

[don't ask]

oh god, I'm dying here, I've been watching shitty UFC all night just waiting for the future to arrive.

koreshkov by spinning shit

 

[Mack812]

I’m in, just picked up some food at the food wagon court by my apartment.

 

[mime]

man larkin looks so bored with koreshkov just hugging the legs

 

[don't ask]

OK, waiting for this card by watching UFC isn't all bad, I just saw Black Beast blast his opponent with a flying knee and then take his shorts off to air out his balls.

who won the first round?
