Why would anyone sign up to fight PP in CW? Erosa beat the **** out of him and the "judges" still have the win to Paddy.
The owner of the promotion is Paddy's manager and the person who selects and pays the judges.

It's sketchy as ****.

He's also a massive arsehole.

I won tickets to cagewarriors from a Facebook completion he ran and I never got them.

I met Paddy in a pub in London before the Till v Masvidal fight last year, couldn't have been a sounder lad to be honest. He sat with us for about 30 minutes and was a gent.

That thing about the ticket competition is bad though

I was talking about Boylan rather than Paddy, never met him so I'd reserve judgement.

Paddy's version of events is Gianetti weighed in at 163 and immediately started rehydrating.

Apparently Gianetti offered to weigh-in no more than 168 on fight night.
Casts doubt on the whole immediate rehydration angle.

Although, he could have just been lying about 168 and came in at 175+ on the night know it would go ahead

Some bizarre, yet hilarious scenes here.

I'm now a big fan of Pimblett just because he said to that lad at the end who was trying to get the fight, 'there is no such thing as god'

Only just realised the Bellator prelims are on youtube here

Did any of you watch the main card in Wembley tonight? Poor card from start to finish. I've watched a fair few Bellator bouts but never a full main card before tonight, that was a let down. The only silver lining was to see a ko walk off (all be it in round 1)... So many times the downed fighter takes another 2 or 3 unnecessary blows.

Been floating about in here over the past few years, don't really post, plenty of good reading though.

Mellor · 24-11-2019 10:39am

The finish in Belator was a little soft. I assume his leg was wrecked and he knew he wasn't .

I see all the usual SBG lads have been posting up images with their Bellator gloves on over the last couple of days. We'll be seeing them all on the Dublin card in February no doubt.

Was there a litany of "ANIMAL BROTHER" etc comments on them?

Would like to go to a decent MMA event in Ireland, but this doesn't seem too appealing. Hard to care about James Gallagher fighting another (I presume) nobody. The last Dublin card was pretty terrible in terms of mismatches. Wouldn't be too knowledgeable on Bellator. What's the opinion on this event here?

Go to cage warriors

actual meaningful fights where there's some bit of clarity as to where the fighters are going in their careers.

I enjoyed the last Bellator event. I'll definitely be going to the one in February.

The biggest disappointment was the Benson Henderson v Myles Jury fight. A lot of the other fights were very entertaining. I left before Gallagher came on though. I've little interest in seeing him fight and zero interest in seeing him at a main event spot.

Whelo79 · 15-12-2019 2:06am

Peter Quelly v Brent Primus as co-main at the next Bellator Dublin. That's and amazing opportunity for Quelly.

Homelander · 16-12-2019 8:39pm

That is an absolutely unbelievable step up, crazy almost. Looking forward to that whole card.

hots · 17-12-2019 10:08am

Has anyone got a link to the full card for Feb? The Bellator site just has 5 fights and I know I've seen more all in one place.

DrPhilG · 17-12-2019 8:20pm

Paul Redmond, most accomplished fighter on the card and only on the prelims.

califano · 18-12-2019 8:48am

He's no stranger to prelims. His fight style isn't very fan pleasing in general for a main card fight.

I bet if he moved from Ryano to SBG he'd be on the main card...

Not retired just yet! Apparently a translation error, he meant finished fighting in Japan

Homelander · 31-12-2019 12:32pm

Rampage looked absolutely terrible, not just bad, but utterly dreadful. They should put him up against Frank Mir next. :rolleyes:

Mehaffey1 · 02-01-2020 2:30am

Rizin 20 on NYE was an amazing event, great night of fights. First time tuning in for Rizin and won't be the last!

Some damage done to the bellator Dublin card with injuries, Leah now main event.

hots · 04-02-2020 11:46am

That's the second time right? Undisclosed injury is very vague, 3 weeks out too... In fairness he's not a huge loss in terms of fight quality, but in terms of hype and atmosphere as a main event it will be missed.

Gallagher being out makes little difference I reckon. Personally I left before good fight last time out and I don't think meant are too bothered seeing him or not.

Quelly v Primus should be the main event.

Quellys also out, so is redser. That's why I said the cards taken some damage.

any extra fights added or replacements found for those two? 3 big fights to lost otherwise.

Not to my knowledge no. These cards never really find replacements iv noticed, the cards do be big enough and tickets sold that they don't care.

Actually looks like Primus is now fighting Chris Bungard

From what I know he is, hence why he's been DJing more than trianing the last few weeks.

He's still on the list, I saw somebody this morning moaning that his fight should have been made the main event to replace Gallagher

What? When were they announced, I missed that. Redser only got a new opponent a few days ago.

Trying to work out from tickets and failing - what time do the fights start this Saturday?

Gallagher and Ellanor having the worst Twitter exchange I have ever seen

The running order of the card is an absolute headwreck I think. The main event is a joke.

Good few tickets still up for sale so I'd say it'll be poor enough. Looking forward to it though, great day of it and it's a serious amount of fights for the cost of it really.

I'm in two minds if I'm going or not. It's not the event just been an expensive few weeks between one thing and another and I'm wrecked tbh

Anyone see on Virgin Media 3 on Virgin box it's showing law and order in until 1am and not Bellator at 10pm...
