P.S. How the fug is Bellator still in business?

With all the people UFC is either letting go or cutting, Bellator's roster is probably looking better than it ever has. Some of their gimmicky things like the dynamite shows I dont get, but I think overall the company is probably in decent shape.

[toobs]

Bellator has more to offer fighters now since ufc pigeon hold themselves with reebok and strange sponsor deals that screw and limit fighters to earning more

[63schoeffling]

Yup, I love the fact that they are around to keep the UFC honest. Definitely kind of gimmicky from time to time, but there's definitely some good fights from time to time. I'll watch good fighters no matter who they fight for so it doesn't matter to me. #dada5000

Lols. Derrick Lewis interviews are fun.

"He calls himself a man, but hits women. Where’s Ronda Rousey’s fine ass at?"

"I just gotta do a number 2."

Most if not all of the former UFC fighters are either .500 or below since signing with Bellatour. All they are doing is overpaying for name recognition and under paying for up and coming talent. It's going to be interesting to see how Rory Macdonald and his nose makes out with Paul Daly.

Luls. Didn't realize he got bounced from the UFC already. Dude fell hard fast.

Yoel must be thrilled with this...not only is he not getting his deserved shot, there is no way GSP faces him after he beats Bisping.

GSP going up to middleweight for a title shot after being retired for nearly half a decade? Can't make this fudge up. Oh wait....

It's retarded. Guess they figure if GSP is rusty and crap (most likely), better try and milk him for all he is worth. "It was silly putting on so much weight! I'm going back to welterweight!".

Does that means Bones gets a heavyweight shot on return?

Whats the bet WWE try and recoup some of their coin with these redic fights and silly interim title shots and then end up selling in two years.

Shame Bellator is run so badly, they could have really jumped on a winner by showing legit fighters and pushing for quality match ups. Instead they put all their time into rigging Tito fights.

I've put a bit of coin on a Khabib/Woodley double (only because Wonderboy was fav).

Bit worried about Khabib after watching the last Embedded. Looked very gaunt from his cut, doesnt seem to look this bad normally? Anyone else think that.

Let's just hope Woodley remembers to wrestle like round 1 last time.

This card has some crazy energy - HYPE

Wonderboy is fav? Woodley must be hurt.

[Baker]

Khabib has an hour to go. Just heard it was confirmed he was at the hospital early this morning. No one knows where he is now though. That would be a bummer if he didnt make it to weigh ins.

Sounds like he got sick cutting weight possibly. Then comes in the question about the IV usage if he went to the hospital etc.

lol @ those salaries. I would expect higher payouts in backyard bare-knuckle boxing matches.
