Bellator/WSOF/One FC etc events Thread

ASOT

General thread for the other promotions who wouldn't warrent a full one on the majority of events! Anybody watching Bellator & WSOF tonight? There's some great fights on IMO! Looking forward to seeing Brooks, Nick Newell, Joe Schilling, Aldo's translator Saul and a few others. Fairly decent night of fights!

RE: Bellator 186, did anyone find that Ducote fight awful? I usually find the commentators on Bellator okay, but Jimmy Smith was being a bit ridiculous for this one, talking it up with generic crap like "These two warriors are leaving it all in the cage" that really did not gel with what was happening on screen....

Good dominant victory for Ryan Bader as well, decent to watch.

Reposting this from the Bamma 32 thread, might get more views!

Is there a full card available for this anywhere?

Serious difference in promotion and production compared to the UFC. Bellator's own website only lists 3 main card fights and 2 prelims, lol.

Bamma card is here but again I'm doubtful that this is the full list?

Anyone on here giving Moore a shot against McKee on Friday night?

McKee 9-0 and highly regarded as a prospect, he has looked good but has yet to really face anyone.

Bellator will obviously be hoping McKee wins to set up the fight with Gallagher, but I think Moore could be a dangerous guy to be putting in against a pretty untested prospect. 10-5, but when you look at his record some of his losses have come against really good fighters. Wilkinson who went 2-2 in the UFC, Weichel who is one of the best and most experienced featherweights around outside of the UFC.

Watching the boxing for the evening myself, debating if I want to watch the UFC later or not.

Yeah that was a real nasty headkick that Hardy took - the crack off it was something else. She was dominated in that fight though, she looked sloppy and amateur against Williams. Not a mark on Williams either.

That and the main fight were decent but the others weren't great. Especially the first fight, really bad stuff. Didn't watcht he prelims though.

The prelims were ok actually even though it was mostly fighters with little or no mma record at all. One thing Bellator are terrible at is promotion. I am on 6-7 different mma news sites on almost a daily basis and I had no idea this event was even on until 3 days before. You can't appeal to casuals if you don't even advertise to the hardcore fanbase!

Yeah fair play but I hope she leaves it there now. For all the talk of boxing vs mma the last few months her mma boxing is very bad, just sloppy head movement and wild swinging of the arms

Anyone watch this. Not the best event but the Hardy-Williams fight was an entertaing kinda sloppy fight. And the main event
I thought Mousasi adapted well considering he had no vision from 1 eye but Shlemenko really could have done more to capitalise. He just kept going for spinning backfists which were not connecting.

The calls for a robbery wernt justified imo, decent scrap.

Hardy got smashed up, bit off more than she could chew. Fair play to her coming back i didnt think she woukd after her first fight.

It's on eirsport 1 Wednesday at 10pm. The event tomorrow is on ppv so they won't be showing it live.

LollipopJimmy

Looked at tickets to the Point (It'll always be the point to me, none of this o3 Arena ****e for me :P ) Only €145 tickets on sale last night but seems there are more €95 tickets there today. Are the 145 worth the extra 50 bills would anybody that's been to an event there before know?

KSW is on in Dublin this Sunday. If anyone who is not going to be there wants to watch the fights KSW are doing ppv online for €10.

If you order through a fighters link they get a cut of the ppv and Paul Redmond is donating any money he makes from his sales to Temple Street Hospital. Link below.

Give the fighter bashing a rest - its against the charter.

I wonder will the BAMMA card outshine the Bellator portion like last time.

Most UFC's contracts are like that. They could be for a 3 or 5 etc fight deal, however the UFC holds the right to terminate the contracts early, which they tend to do after losses, bad performance or other issues outside of the ring.

This means that if you are winning they only pay your contracted amount for the 5 fights or duration of the contract and then renegotiate or not renew, however they can also cut you at anytime particularly after a loss.

Bellator champ within a year....wait and see! :P

Jesus that's ridiculous. I'd say they cut him after he got knocked out by the planet so.

The most undeserving multi-fight contract that ever there was.

That was a good Bellator event, all pretty good fights and some great knockouts. Thought that was bizarre alright, your man just winging it without a coach of any kind....thought Roy Nelson did OK though the other guy was terrible on the ground, says a lot when Nelson goes to the ground for the entire fight.

Its bellator I expect that ****, find these lads down the pub on fight week I reckon Gallagher usually fights them.

I know they must have the opposite of a talent finding scout but how do you find someone 7-3 who doesn't even have a coach. That's good work.

I absolutely hate Roy Nelson. Argh.
