Bellator is a joke. Just compare this tournament to Strikeforce's.
Really miss Strikeforce and EliteXC.

Rampage still has his chin. I GUARANTEE Bader will Bitch out like everyone else and STILL spam take downs and just lay on top and won't finish the fight.
If he starts believing in his stand up and tries to stand with Rampage... then Rampage has his chance. Sure Rampage's reflexes aren't what they used to be, but he still has a good chance.
Imagine putting on a tournament with eight old-ass fighters and getting them all to fight up to three times in one year, and none of them has to pull out with injury.
That's a Bellator miracle as far as I'm concerned.

Um.... Scott Coker ran both the SF and this Bellator Tournament.
It's hard to find enough legit Heavyweights outside of the UFC in 2018-19.
Might be the similar to the fight against Rory. Only the opposite.
I'm not sure Mousasi can overcome the wrestling/added pounds.
Yep, needed a little more insurance in case Bader took it easy for first round.
It's not only this tournament, but the product as a whole. Some of the UFC's best talent came straight from Strikeforce. DC, Rockhold, Jacare, Mousasi, WMMA, and a few of the veteran HWs that had been everywhere.
Bellator is so bush league in comparison. Biggest events are all washed fighters.
Still don't know why Bellator didn't go hard for someone with legitimacy like Rumble.
I have to imagine he still has fights on his contract or something, because putting your company on Fedor in the year of our lord 2019 is laughable.
Coker pretty much built the modern UFC. Now it's like damn homie. You used to be the man, homie.
What the fuck happened to him.

Rumble retired. I'm not sure if he officially signed retirement papers or not, but in sports, if you have time/events left on a contract, there's a retirement provision usually where some lesser money goes to the athlete from the organization or an insurer. This was a voluntary early retirement, not one that was medically necessitated.
Anyway, there would be things in his contract preventing him from "retiring" then going to another org. Also, retirement would be something recongnised by sanctioning/licensing bodies.
Rumble has talked about coming back, but he's kinda been wishy-washy on it.

This is what Scott does best though.... You come to watch these named fighters with history...and you stay for fighters like AJ Mckee, MVP, ahem....Aaron Pico.....and other youngsters/future stars.
He did this in Strikeforce as well. And did such a great job, the UFC felt the need to buy them out.
Pretty hilarious watching Fedor get one punch KO'd by Ryan Bader of all people.
Shame that the Pico hypetrain is stopped indefinitely. I was ragging on him after his debut but he had a nice little run and was hoping he'd at least work his way up to a Chandler fight.
This HWGP was a joke but looking forward to the rest of the MW tourney.

Conor got 6 months and a $50k fine
Khabib got 9 months and a $500k fine
So I guess those hopes of a Khabib fight before Ramadan are gone then
Either strip Khabib and give Ferguson [and Poirier] a fight for the title or give Tony an interim title shot.

Khabib can get it reduced to 6 months with an anti bullying thing and it's retroactive.

Khabib is stubborn enough to tell them to screw with the anti-bulling PSA.
Not expecting to see Khabib in the octagon again until July/August at earliest.
OP

That must mean he intends on fighting before May which is good news, I guess.
Also, imagine losing $750k out of your pocket over fucking Conor...
Hopefully we get Khabib/Ferguson and Conor/Cowboy on the same card, I don't think Conor would be on board fighting on the same event though.

Conor has it in his contract he only main events I think.
What a load of bollocks, UFC is no better than most backwards high school teachers. They see the victim of bullying fight back and punish them more than the bully themselves.
I mean look at the whole Conor fiasco with the bus incident and the utter lack of any real punishment against him.
Same goes with Jon Jones, the UFC REALLY has some blatant favortism for both of these fighters and it really pisses me off.

Nevada is taking it upon themselves to test Jones 2-3 times for the next 40 days. After that, they'll coordinate with USADA and VADA to try to make sure he is tested twice a month for all of 2019. Threatened that if he backs out or doesn't go through with it for the full year, he'll be denied a Nevada license for life
I mean it doesn't really matter when he is allowed to fail tests now because of this pulse rubbish.

He needs to be stripped if this is really how he intends to conduct himself. Give him a fight with the winner of Tony/Poirier when he's ready to stop sulking.
I can't find a Martial Arts/Fighting as hobby thread on here so I assume this is the best place to post this.
I signed up for Muay Thai for the first time, but I need shin guards. However, the only place around me that sells shin guards os Dick's which has only these.
Will these do or is it better to shell out $70 for a quality pair?

This has to be the fight if Khabib is out till Nov. Tony vs. Poirier for the belt, and Conor vs. Cowboy around the same time.
So Bisping via Rashad Evans claims the old belt is worth $300,000, I wonder how much the new one is worth.
