    If Mir beats Fedor, Chael v Mir will be mental the size difference ,
    MIr is by far the better grappler and also can knock him out, Chael is in for a really rough night,

    Mir is a better grappler but he's not a better wrestler, there's an important difference there. Odds of chael taking him down are pretty good, but not is good off his back and Chael has been caught a few times being sloppy guard so I could see Mir throwing up a triangle or armbar and finishing it.
    That was my point, If Chael gets him down and I don't think he will have an easy time at all due to Mir size, He will still be in trouble on top of Mir ,
    Size difference will be huge,

    Great to have Big John and Mike commentating now. I always thought the commentary on Bellator was really poor compared to UFC - it's come on leaps and bounds and comes across way more knowledgeable and in-depth now.

    That Pico body shot was vicious - the sound of the impact was something else!

    Gallagher v Borics set for Bellator (Budapest) April 6th.

    I think there’s going to be another few Irish fighters on it too (Kavanagh, Moore).

    Surprised they’ve thrown Borics in with Gallagher to be honest. I’d have thought they’d want to give him their slow build give that they seem to have an interest in Hungary and that Central European market.

    Anyone watching the Bellator card?
    Liam McGeary stopped by leg kicks by Fedor's protege.

    Patricky Pitbull vs Campos and Nelson vs Meathead reamatches coming up.

    Enjoyable stuff so far. That stoppage due to leg kicks was vicious stuff. Precise kicks and with venom

    Watching Cage Warriors and Cory McKenna looked unbelievable in her first pro fight.Had a 7-0 amateur record and stopped her opponent tonight after only one round.

    She is only 18!

    watched that, very impressive, beat the crap out of her opponent who failed to come out for second

    Is it just me or does Boylan give anyone else the creeps

    I don't know if I've ever said he's creepy, I just find the whole CW setup being very suspect where he (boylan) is the manager of some of the fighters, the owner of the promotion, the man sanctioning the fights, selecting paying the refs and judges and everything else rolled into one.

    The Pimbalt VS Erosa fight has completely turned me off the organisation as it was a total farce of a decision. Erosa destroyed Paddy. It wasn't even a close debatable fight, Pimbalt got picked apart.

    Apologies if I misquoted you! Just meant you are right and I didn't know about all that until you said it on here. It's all a bit dodgy alright.

    Reed just got finished by Bouland there!

    I agree with you about the shadiness of the Boylan/CW situation. It's a clear conflict of interest.... But the Erosa vs Pimblett fight was quite a bit closer than you're saying. I remember watching it live and thought it was a 3-2 fight and you could make an argument for it going either way.

    Going to have to disagree. There was no way it was going any way other an Erosa win. The only debate was whether it was 49-46 or 48-47.
    Erosa cruised through the fight and nearly finished Pimbalt several times. The decision was a shambles.

    Roy Nelson vs Mirko Crown Cop at Bellator 200. I'd say Roy is delighted with that booking

    I dunno. Mirko back on the kangaroo steaks might be a different prospect than natty Mirko.

    I'd say he's delighted because he's fighting a big name on a big show which means more money and let's not forget Big Country has knocked Mirko out before and he would have been juiced up then too.

    It's looking like that true. It's pretty disappointing. I actually wish somebody would pay Chunk to not fight

    Dave Fogarty fighting this weekend. Wonder if he'll be introduced as "gingerbeard".

    I dread to think of the Instagram captions if he wins.

    At least chuck isn’t going on against a big hitter. He should come out the other side ok

    Rhys McKee was devastating in that one round. Absolutely clinical performance. The lad is only 22, so much ahead of him.
