Just don't care about this one, although I'll still watch so what do they care?

I will watch and I will enjoy. I know the board hates it, but I just love watching these gimmick fights. Although I hope there are no dives taken. Both Kimbo and Shamrock (hell, one was against each other) have been apart of what looked like dives in the past on more than one occasion.

I hope no one dies in the cage.

Haven't watched an up to date Bellator card in a long time but the main and co-mains has me interested. Interested in the same way animal fight videos on Youtube interests me.

Dude, you're from Australia. Why do you need youtube to watch animal fights? Just look outside your window at any given time imo.

I don't mind gimmick matches either. It's got us talking and interested in the event, it's free on Spike, and it's great to have an alternative like this in MMA.

I h ave some morbid curiosity about the main event, but I couldn't care less about the co-main.

Anything redeemable on that undercard?

I enjoy the technical commentary I get on Youtube

There's a guy named Casey Jones fighting and I don't think it's *the* Casey Jones, but maybe you can pretend.

Kimbo/Dada have the fakest beef since Rashad/Rampage.

A lot of places have stopped taken bets on Kimbo/Dada. Tons of money came in on Dada. Line moved from -360 at some sportsbooks.

This sort of thing has helped proved some tennis matches were thrown. Just saying.

I think its because Coker just announced that the Texas athletic commission is going to allow Dada to take that sledge hammer into the cage. Just my theory though.

First fight was pretty solid.

Also, I can't help but be an Emmanuel Newton fan. There isn't a bigger character in mma tbh. He's just nuts, but not in a bad way a la Mayhem.

REDDzone · Post #18 » by **REDDzone** » Sat Feb 20, 2016 3:03 am

Newton three kicks/knees to the nuts. Jimmy talking about how the ref should take a point if he does it again. I mean, is the implication that you get three free nut shots per fight with no penalty until the fourth? Just ridiculous.

edit: ref took a point, good.

Guillard ktfo. 3-8-1 NC in his last 12

Guillard is done. His chin is cheese. Sadly I think he'll be dead before the age of 50. Sooo many fights.
