Yeah but I can understand why they've done it, carving out a bit of a niche for freak show fights to get more viewers, gotta be done to survive really.

Newton will probably win but haven't seen too much of Vassel

Kimbo definitely wins, get a lot of sh1t but he's got decent head movement for a heavyweight and okay hands, and I watched one of that Dada's fight the other day and he looks shockingly bad.

As for Shamrock/Gracie I haven't got a clue, impossible to call because we've got no idea what Gracie's like these days and Shamrock could well throw the fight

Aye I agree, think it's all a bit silly, though. Bellator could potentially become a force with the whole Reebok thing going on so I think it's best they drop the gimmicks as soon as they can really. I think Newton's already beaten Vassel but I might be wrong, and I agree on Kimbo. Think Kimbo smokes him within two minutes.

Gracie vs Shamrock will just be sad more than anything, and Shamrock vs Kimbo was quite possibly the most blatantly fixed fight there's ever been so it wouldn't be surprising.
 
That groin shot looked painful af.

Think eyepokes, kicks in the bollocks and cage grabs should be automatic point reductions tbh

Disagree personally, I think fighters should get one. The likes of Jones going round poking people constantly is so frustrating, but it's hard to go three or five rounds without breaking the rules once. Cage grabs are the most debatable because they're supposedly on purpose but anyone who's ever even sparred in a cage will know it's natural reaction most of the time.

If fights were actually scored properly or with a different system I'd possibly agree, though, but at the moment a point is too much.
 
Wait, Davis is fighting vs King Mo? I thought Tito Ortiz was fighting him?

Oh aye Tyson. Dana won't be happy about that.

I know it's obvs not quite the same, but you don't see it in other sports, like 9 times out of 10 players don't mean to give away penalty's but they still get penalized for it. Suppose 1 warning would work but refs need to stick to it. And yeah I don't like the 10 point system in MMA either but I can't really think of any alternative, but even if rounds were 20 points, taking 1 point would be ideal.

Tf's Tyson doing commentary for?

God knows, it's funny though. I've burst out laughing about 9 times already.

Crazy/awful start to this fight from Guillard.

''Yeah sound let's get the bloke who can barely speak English on commentary''.

Not sure what Guillard was thinking there, maybe looking to make a statement but this fight's a win or bust for his career

Hahaha but he's just been shouting WAIT TIL THEY GO DAAAAWWWN.

This commentary is the best thing to happen to MMA since Cruz Dillashaw.



Wow. What a finish. Poor Melvin.

"Waaaaw what a punch." "Oh he punched him there" "Whiiiiich way did he go".

Him and Bas Rutten would be the GOAT commentary team.

Says something when they have to use stuff from his street fighting days to promote Kimbo

Ridiculous isn't it. This Dada 5000 is a fat divvy as well, this fight is about to be stupid. Kimbo's a no mark and this fella's going out within two.
