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!

I'd love if Meathead won. Mir was my favourite fighter when I first started watching MMA but I'd be happy if he got KO'd nice an early now.

Just watched Bellator 187 there. Apart from McKee v Moore, pretty terrible event!

I was impressed with Moore. 6/1 underdog and he had McKee in plenty of trouble in the second round. He certainly did himself no harm with that performance.

I second this, meathead should have enough.

I can't see this being completed by the end of 2018 at all. You need all 8 of these mostly 35-40 year olds with a lot of mileage on the body to survive injury for the entire year? No way that will happen.

What kind of money do bellator fighters earn?
Is it anything close to what ufc guys Get?

DrPhilG

As I understand it the top guys do pretty well, mainly because Bellator don't have the ridiculously sponsor rules that the UFC does.

Ben Henderson, Rory McDonald etc make good money I'm sure. Not a patch on what the top dogs in the UFC earn but a good bit more than they were earning as top 5 guys in the UFC.

But the bottom end is way lower. Bottom of the ladder generally in the UFC these days is $10k to fight and $10k to win. Plenty of prelim fighters in Bellator etc only pick up a few thousand.

Here's one from September where the bottom paid guy only made $1k.

Did anyone watch Bellator 188? Man that was bad. Four fights, first three over in the first minute of the first round basically - and even even in the sort of explosively impressive way, more just 'well, that was a terrible mismatch'.

Tournament fights are set
Rampage vs. Sonnen - January 20
Mitrione vs. Nelson - February 16
Emelianenko vs. Mir - April
Bader vs. Lawal - May
I guess they put Bader vs Lawal together in the first round to eliminate the possibility of them humping each other for 15 minutes in the final!

It might be the cynic in me but:

Rampage vs. Sonnen - January 20 - Make sure one mouthy fighter gets through
Mitrione vs. Nelson - February 16
Emelianenko vs. Mir - April - Best fight for Fedor to get through
Bader vs. Lawal - May - Remove a wrestler from the equation

I'd agree plus with Mitrione vs. Nelson it assures at least 1 "stand and bang" fighter gets through as well.

Not possible. They'll meet in the semi's if they both win.

My prediction;
Rampage Beats Sonnen
Fedor beats Mir
Nelson beats Meathead
Bader beats King Mo

Fedor beats Rampage
Nelson Beats Bader

Nelson beats Fedor by KO to win the title baddest washed up heavyweight

People are seriously underestimating Mitrione.
I see him winning the whole thing.

He deserves it anyway. He's the uncrowned champ. He's 3-0 in Bellator. 3 KOs, including Fedor in his last fight.

Sure Nelson KO'ed him before but he has improved a lot in 5 years whereas Big Country has deteriorated IMO.

Mitrione v Fedor 2 in the final for me.

Aaron Chalmers being matched up with a pro debutant who is 0-1 as an amateur in his next fight.

****ing hell.

Desperate to get him a winning record.
Pico is muck. The amount of people buying the BS hype about golden gloves and training his whole life

Pico muck? Way too early to tell.

He's young and he could well become a champion in 5 years. But I'm talking about the way he was hyped as some sort of elite fighter training his whole life. It was way OTT.
I just found it weird that he got more credit for failing get on the USA wrestling team, than the guy who on the team and subsequently qualified for the olympics.

Also, I now realise that Pauly said Aaron Chalmers, not Pico. :cool:

All down to having Aaron Chalmers on it. All of their marketing will be around him for the card

Autecher

4 fighters missed weight for tonight's 8 fight Invicta card, that must be a record. The much hyped Mackenzie Dern made weight. I see also Invicta signed 15 new fighters this week including Sarah Kaufman & Pearl Gonzalez

About time. She missed her last two at straweight and ADCC.
She only just scraped it this time too.

Luka Jelcic was fighting tonight, making his Bellator debut. Quite a highly rated guy, he was 10-2 and had won his last 6 by finish.

He

lost to Brandon Gritz via KO early in the 1st.
