    Full Bellator 200 card is revealed. I didn't know Charlie Ward was on it. The reason Chalmers fight is catchweight is because the guy he's fighting is a 155er and is moving up to as low as Chalmers can cut weight. Ash Griffiths is 4-5, he has lost his last 3 fights in the first round.


    MAIN CARD

    • Mirko Cro Cop vs. Roy Nelson
    • Champ Rafael Carvalho vs. Gegard Mousasi – for middleweight title
    • Michael Page vs. David Rickels
    • Aaron Chalmers vs. Ash Griffiths – 163-pound catchweight
    • Phil Davis vs. Linton Vassell
    PRELIMINARY CARD
    • Kate Jackson vs. Anastasia Yankova
    • Vladimir Filipovic vs. Anatoly Tokov
    • Pedro Carvalho vs. Daniel Crawford
    • Martyn Harris vs. Ryan Scope
    • Carl Noon vs. Mike Shipman
    • Louis King vs. Charlie Ward
    • Jeremy Petley vs. Saul Rogers
    • Kevin Fryer vs. Costello Van Steenis
    • Tom Green vs. Charlie Leary

    I'm guessing this is being co-promoted with BAMMA as usual?

    You could put your house on Rogers to win, probably by points.

    I don't think so, I haven't seen anything that says it is anyway.

    There's a scatter of BAMMA fighters on the card anyway. Most of them wouldn't have mutli-fight contracts, but they're nowhere near good enough to be actually signed to Bellator.

    He's a much bigger man, but it's not like Fedor has no ground game, he's a mutli-time world sambo champion and has very good wrestling.

    Pretty interesting main card. Even looking forward to that Chalmers fight.

    From his MMA hour interview it sounds like the gameplan is to put Fedor against the fence to nullify his ground game and use his size to pressure him and G&P

    That is a serious change in a few months. He looked massively out of shape during the first run of promo stuff.

    GREAT fight, have it 29-28 to Pedersoli but reckon Dalby will get the decision as is the way when one of Boylan's big prospects/cash cow's end up in the judges hands

    EDIT : Was right about the result and wrong about the corruption

    If they keep giving him cans to submit he'll do ok.

    He got tagged with two telegraphed lefts, while fighting southpaw. They'll feed him garbage like they did everyone else and eventually he'll be murdered.

    Fedor is nowhere near the GOAT, he fought in Pride, who knows what additives he was having on his cornflakes, he avoided going to the UFC about 8yrs ago to fight the best, damn, when he fought Hong Man Choi (??) around 8yrs ago they changed the rules and said no knees :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    When he fought in Pride, everyone in the UFC was juiced to the ****ing gills, as was everyone in Strike Force, Affliction, King of The Cage and everywhere else. Stop pretending the likes of Mir, Sylvia, Coleman, Barnett, Overeem, Andrei Arlovski, Brock, Randleman, and dozens more UFC and Pride heavyweights of the same era weren't all doing the same thing as everyone else.

    He's easily in the discussion of who's the greatest of all time.

    Yeah. Just a shame he never made it to the UFC. He did lose against the big UFC guys whos crossed over though. Werdum, Silva, Henderson.

    He’s bloody exciting anyway.
    I dunno why he seemed to Abandon his ground game in his later years, that was a lovely throw or toss or whatever it’s called to get Mir down but then stood straight up as soon as Mir hit the floor.
