I will for old time sake.

Would prefer if Chuck didnt fight anymore, but respect it is his choice.

From the little I have seen of them training , Tito appears to be in much better condition so will have to go with Tito.

I was actually at their first fight in the Mandalay Bay. My god was that a long time ago.

I always a massive Tito fan, and my experience of Chucks fans that night never made me question my loyalty.

But i hate to say i think old man Chuck will still knock Tito out. I hope to jaysus im wrong, but Tito is still **** scared of Chuck. And ill be pleasantly surprised to see Tito un-hurl some long overdue justice to their rivalry.

Does anyone know? Or is it strictly stream online ppv over here?

dulux99 · 23-11-2018 9:24pm

Just watched some of the press conferences. Brutal. Same format as boxing pressers which are the worst craic ever. This thing will be a shambles inside and outside the cage. I'll still 100% watch though.

dulux99 · 24-11-2018 11:36pm

What time is this circus due to kick off tonight? Might order it for the craic if it's not too late

but1er · 25-11-2018 8:57am

Worse fight I've ever seen jesus

ASOT · 25-11-2018 9:32am

That was horrible to see, on the plus side of the event Leban referring was class.

DrPhilG · 25-11-2018 9:47am

A little bit of me died watching Tito spark out Chuck.

We've all suspected it for months, and as soon as the fight started it was only a matter of time. Chuck has nothing left. Power gone, movement gone, chin gone. He didnt even look threatening anymore.

That's a sad mess.

The Nal · 25-11-2018 1:19pm

Tito was so cautious. Like he couldn't believe how done Chuck was. Could have sparked him in 10 seconds.

Autecher · 27-11-2018 9:58am

James Gallagher will be back soon. I wonder what level of opponent he will get?

Hopefully being sparked by a nobody last time has humbled him a bit.

Pedro Carvahlo added to Bellator 211, I really like this guy, such a hard worker

The opponent isn't so irrelevant when he's butchering you from start to finish en route to a crushing KO.

Rumours online of Darrion Caldwell v Kyoji Horiguchi fighting on a Rizin/Bellator co-promoted card. There is a Rizin press conference tonight during which it's rumoured to be announced.

Confirmed now though it's not a co-promoted card it's a Rizin card. The fight will be at Rizin 14 on New Years Eve for the new Rizin Bantamweight belt. Pretty good looking card actually with a few ex UFC flyweights making their debut and of course that weird Mayweather fight/exhibition thingy.

Edit never mind, back on. Pointless fight.

TerrorFirmer · 29-11-2018 7:55pm

Ortiz vs Liddell was just beyond tragic to watch. There's fighters that keep on going too long after they're over the hill...and then there's that.

Ortiz looked alright but Chuck looked like he was moving and striking underwater, and that a rogue breeze from a door left ajar would knock him over. That fight could've been over in 5 seconds.

Overall a terrible card and event, apart from the co-main which was very respectable.

dulux99 · 29-11-2018 7:59pm

No wonder Hackleman refused to be involved in Liddell's return. It's insane to me that Liddell managed to find any corner men at all who were willing to train him and be in his corner. I got a chuckle out of Tito's celebration, you'd think he just regained the UFC LHW title the way he was carrying on.

dulux99 · 29-11-2018 10:31pm

I see Brendan Loughnane is fighting tomorrow night. crazy to me that he's never been called upto the UFC since his solitary fight following TUF. 15-3 overall and always extremely exciting when I've seen him

Also clearly beat Duqesnoy at BAMMA a few years ago too. He was absolutely robbed.

He brings a good crowd around with him too so would add a lot to those European cards IMO.

MartyMcFly84 · 30-11-2018 12:25pm

Tito looked in good shape and was moving decently. His celebration was over to top considering the state of the fighter who he just beat. However throughout Tito's career Chuck was the man who unhorsed him and had decisive victories over him. I am sure there was a sort of vindication getting a win back over Chuck. Even though it was not well placed. The stewards in the trying to stop Tito's celebration just made it worse and way more awkward than it had to be. They were obviously clueless and had no idea what he was doing.

Chuck looks like someone with dementia pugilistic-a. He doesn't move right his balance was off,, his eyes are not quite focused or he seems space out. That combined with his mumbled speech it's a wonder he got licensed to fight.

If you compare it to videos or him 15 years ago, he was extremely awake, bright (accountancy degree) and articulate. I am certain there is more going on there than old age.

He was promised a job for life in the UFC. He was on payroll until the new owners came in and cut non-essential staff. I have a feeling he was banking on that income for a few more years and probably needed a pay day to make up for it while he still could generate ticket sales.

Chuck, Matt Hughes, and Forest were all given these jobs.

Forest showed up in the offices the first day, found himself a desk, found work to do, and made himself useful.

Chuck and Matt signed a few autographs every few months and showed up at UFC gym franchise openings a few times a year.

One of them was kept on and is now an executive within the company, the other two were let go.

At some stage you have to accept that you took the piss.

I don't know the details, but the above sounds very plausible. However I doubt Matt and Chuck would have been let go under the Zuffa banner. It was a jobs for the boys scenario, which changed very quickly under new ownership.

Forrest making himself useful obviously made him less disposable.

Exactly this, sure at UFC Dublin back in 2014 Chuck didn't even do any media stuff that he was suppose to do eg the media day on the Wednesday. Forrest was there and said Chuck was on the missing list after going drinking.

dulux99 · 30-11-2018 3:15pm

Chuck probably always felt his old dear friend Dana would sort him out, just like he had for years. I'm sure if Dana had his way he'd still be on the payroll. That was never gonna fly under WME

Scott Coker says this fight will be a headline fight in Dublin in early 2019 so expect an announcement soon. He didn't say who the "irrelevant" opponent is.

Autecher · 30-11-2018 8:23pm

He also said MVP v Daley is on February 16th. It's in America but will be on live UK television so will hopefully be accessible to us over here too.

Been waiting for this fight for ages, it's a load of bollox that it's not in England though.

Yeah it would have made for a great atmosphere in England. According to this tweet it was some Bellator's partners who wanted it in America (posted from my phone so I can't embed it)

If he can stay injury free and strings a few nice Bellator wins together - hopefully. Think he has 3 fights more to go on new deal with them? Nice to see he has good professional management, and honestly with his experience and slow burn buildup - well I really really hope it comes together for him.

Still looking for a stream/good highlights from Saturday!
