    I thought they had that booked for The Point Depot?? I've seen a few Irish fighters recently signed by them posting about fighting in 8 weeks time etc. I just presumed they were talking about that Dublin card.

    It was that Dublin card and I know it seems ridiculous but it was 100% going to be on in the Citywest as the 3Arena had been booked up with no available slots that suited.

    Probably better to do it in a smaller arena and sell it out instead of a larger one with lots of empty space. The atmosphere is much better.

    I went to that Brave show in Belfast at it was probably at 1/3 capacity for the main card.

    Dublin Bellator event that was supposed to be held in the Citywest Hotel in December has been called off.

    I was literally coming on here to see what the story was with that rumoured event.

    Shame it's cancelled,

    I'm guessing they could easily fill the 3 arena off for one of their events though.

    Imagine having Double D and Peter Queally on the card, it sound sell out rather fast I'd imagine.

    Any reason for the cancellation?

    So anyway the american gangster is happy out doing tv shows appearing on ariels show and doing his own ariel nd the badguy, doing his own podcast plus whatever media he has to do for his fight saturday. Once his music hits the speaker and his name is called he'll make the walk

    I like Chael but I can't see him winning that fight. Looking forward to it though.

    Really hoping Machida beats Carvalho in December to set up the rematch with the best MW in the world!

    I kind of wonder how seriously he's taking it, which is a weird thing to say I know. He's obviously fighting at heavyweight but he's spent the last week covering the big fight in Vegas, when you think he'd be putting the finishing touches on his camp. But who knows I suppose.

    Anyone see Fedor working out for the public? Looked extremely sharp. Question is does he KO or Sub Chael? He's 100% getting it done.

    I can see Chael going for the takedown, Fedor ending up on top and pounding him out.

    What a time to be alive when Fedor is fighting Chael Sonnen. God bless bellator. If only we could f*cking get it on a decent channel and record it.

    The west Lin gangster will win.

    Wow I didn't even know Bader vs Mitrione was on tonight, with Bendo on the card too.

    Bader is mauling Meathead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    20-16 to Bader.

    Meathead needs a hail mary knockout to win this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    30-24 Bader.

    Anyone know what time Chael and Fedor will get it on tonight?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    4am.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    Is this on channel 5 ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    No idea, I watched last night through naughty means.

    What an utterly amazing showing by Ryan Bader, top class stuff.

    Larkin v. Pascu was good too. Always like watching Pascu, no quit in him and good stamina.

    Roy Nelson....fun to watch but that wild style really has extremely dimishing returns at this late stage of his career.

    Baby Slice....pretty umimpressive, too much of a pass given because of his father but he just doesn't really have any great technique.

    Forget the names of the first fight (Banks v...) but was decent as well, brutal knockout though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,393 ✭✭✭sonic85


    Is there anywhere I can watch Bellator events after the fact lads? Do they have their own version of fight pass or anything? I can't really stay up to watch them live and Channel 5 don't seem to repeat them after they're shown

    meathead doesn't have a ground game and bader took advantage bigtime

    Nelson is just pants at this stage.

    Baby slice has no gas tank, if he had he would have beaten that guy easily

    great performance by bendo there

    good speech afterwards and no mention of jesus christ! :pac:

    Its about how you conduct yourself and not be jumping over a cage...how you explain that to your kids etc etc more or less, respect to him.

    A good role model

    The last emperor Vs the American gangster up now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    That was fun while it lasted.

    Fedor's sweep near the end was was perfectly timed and that barrel roll to land on top during the first takedown chael almost landed was lovely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    Bader makes Fedor look small.

    The man is not really a heavyweight, he never was, and that makes his record even more impressive.
    He could make 205 easily.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 785 ✭✭✭princemuzzy


    That's was fun really enjoyed it think based will win the final

    Agreed with the above, enjoyable scrap. Bader will make mince meat of Fedor though. Fedor was fairly gassed after a round. Luckily for him so was Chael
