    Jasus what a ****ing farce of a promotion.

    Can't be arsed streaming this I shall watch on Sunday morning so.

    It's nothing to do with the Promotion, it's Paramount UK's choice not to air it live, they have the rights to by default through their ownership but choose to re-run ****e english tv shows instead because they think they'll get better viewership the next evening.

    In other news, Bellator signed AJ Agazarm.
    Hope he gets murdered.

    So is
    Bader the Champ Champ Champ now? He was rocking 3 belts in the cage at the end of that fight.
    :D

    Enjoyable event overall!

    Do we need to spoiler the results of last night's card?

    Might be best to keeping spoilers going until after in airs on paramount.
    Fedor surely done now. Got dropped with the softest lead hook.

    AJ Azagram...lol

    Aaron Pico...also lol. His boxing credentials are surely confirmed BS now. Just winging punches with his hands down and chin out.

    I'll spoiler tag these but surely anyone reading this thread on a Sunday afternoon should expect them ...
    Two crazy ko's. Pico just can't take a smack. Two brutal kos and he's only 22, doesn't bode well for him. Would love to see Bader back in the UFC at HW.

    The Bandejas fight was poor. Two sloppy MMA fighters. Shows how far away Gallagher is from the level he thinks he's at.

    Also, having watched the main card start to finish this morning, it made me so glad that Mike Goldberg isn't involved with the UFC anymore. I never particularly disliked him when he was with the UFC but Jesus he spouts some sh*te.

    Agree about Goldie.

    Listening to Jon Anick makes you realise how bad he really was.

    Yeah Fedor just has too many miles on the clock, 42 years old, 46 fights, and some serious damage in there. Legend is an understatement but it's time to hand them up

    As for Pico, he has very good hand speed and his jab is crisp but the lad has no chin.

    Physical he's got the goods. Speed there.
    But after the first shot lands the hands drop. Maybe years years of wrestling posture is hard to shake. But it leaves him easy to hit.

    People saying he has no chin; there's not too many people who would take a punch like this and carry on

    He has no fight IQ imrather than having no chin. But he's only a 22 year old kid so That can be improved with more experience. He gets into a brawl inside the pocket and leaves himself compleatly open.

    Eddie said it best.

    Agree with the above. Not the below
    "Pico just can't take a smack"
    "As for Pico, ... the lad has no chin."

    It's his skill/ability. Not his chin imo.
    Look at his left hand at the start of that clip. It's hard to spot, but it's down so low it's below his hip. Zero defense and his opponent just wings one in without looking.

    Not arguing his fight IQ, I even clarified in the post above yours and quoted the two posts I took an issue with

    Fight IQ ain't great at all but he was obv just looking for the finish and think he'd get stopped

    Fairly disappointing card. Fedor was/is a legend, but it's time to hang up the gloves. Bader is worth better competition than that, I'd like to see him return to UFC for a few fights.

    Pico, as expected, he has good hands but terrible fight IQ.

    Bandjeras....not a terrible fight but nothing special.

    Jake Hager was interesting to see, though the guy he was fighting is a total nobody.

    Fighters/clubs will still have plenty floating around I'm sure.

    I hope it is sold out. And I hope people stay for the whole show. Too many fans are just rocking up half way through to see their mate or leaving a quarter way through because their mates fight is done at many of the local shows.

    It's being shown on Channel 5 in the UK. If you have Sky, you can tune it in on the Other Channels section.

    Bellator held a press conference today teasing the announcement of a TV deal. At the press conference they then said they'll have an announcement in 48 hours. Useless.

    Hopefully this is a full time setup and not a “one and done” thing just because it’s Daley vs MVP.

    Will it be live on Channel 5? I don't have Sky Sports.

    What a huge coup for Bellator. Will be mad to finally see mma on sky sports.
