    Is it confirmed?

    Excellent news and it's great to see Coker/Bellator eyeing up young talent. Do BAMMA and BAMMA US have a connection?

    Pretty sure at one of their shows recently on the prelims that there were BAMMA US fighters competing.

    Could be a nice feeder promotion if it is indeed the case.

    Univision own spike and have a partnership with chanel five in the UK through spike UK, they also own Bellator. That's the link.

    Cheers for that. Could be a serious talent pool for Bellator in the future provided they quit with the novelty fights.

    I only listened to this earlier this morning. A friend told me it was Tuke. Any solid confirmation either way from Bellator or SBG yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Anyway tuning in to Invicta tonight?

    Angela Hill and Jessamyn Duke both on the card (both underdogs). Hamasaki v Brown should be an interesting main event.

    Those weigh ins were terrible!. It took ages for a fighter to appear after being announced!, you would swear Cheltenham was on in the background or something!

    If your subs not set up anymore you should just be able to pop it in, I cancel my sub then enter the code for the new month, il send it on to you now and you can have a look anyway!

    Fun main event that, Cavalari's leg was in bad shape in the later rounds and some of those body shots hurt him too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    How about those leg kicks from Justin Gaethje last night? :eek:

    Possibly the most exciting fighter out there, would love to see him in the ufc. Will 100% be ****ed later on in life though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,405 ✭✭✭Lukker-


    Justin Gaethje has been suspended indefinitely for "unsportsmanlike behavior" for doing a flip after he won.

    Has to be one of the most retarded suspensions I've ever seen. Considering he showed excellent sportsmanship in the fight too, he didn't go in and finish Foster while he was on the ground and let the ref stop the fight.

    Tis riduclous but they gave him written warning before the fight not to do it and he done it, that suspension will not stick at all though, I don't think they taught it true. Wouldn't surprise me if he threatened to sue then for blocking potential earnings.
