@Orion Perhaps that's it. When Weidman first fought Luke I thought uh oh theres some size discrepancy here, and like everyone else I natually assumed Rockhold would dominate for a few years. Given his ground game, pretty high level everywhere else game, and size advantage. Little did we know mad mike was going to change the landscape so drastically, and the shocks kept on coming.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Jacare lose (purely down to how unpredictable it all is), Bisping decision Romero then lose to Mousasi (after he KOs Chris).  Thems there my predictions for the next year or so at 185, definitely some more shocks to come. I just have this feeling that Vitor isn't done either.

Nah, I never really bet on MMA if I'm honest, too unpredictable.

 

Excited for the Chael Tito fight actually, and Paul Daley's on the card. I don't really follow Bellator but I might watch that one. Chael's press conferences is classic him:

 

Tito: every big fight you've got you've done so using your mouth

Chael: the only person I know who used her mouth to make money is his ex-wife

Ok cheers, i thought i'd missed it. Its surely gonna be Bellators biggest event since Royce Gracie vs Ken Shamrock and Dada vs Kimbo Slice it cant be as much a farce as that can it? 

 

Looking forward to Rory MacDonald making his promotional debut, against Koreshkov would be nice maybe.

Travis Browne has moved to Blackhouse from Glendale  (Also Rondas camp) for his upcoming fight at Ufc 209 with Derrick Lewis. Good move i think.

 

That should help considering Lewis is a striker and tarverdyans only credential is a mural on his wall of him holding an imaginary belt next to Muhammad Ali.

Dear gawd. I just watched the pre-fight. Tito is beyond cringe worthy. I feel sorry for him which I shouldn't as he's a nob.

Not on UK TV until next Saturday unfortunately. Friday events are usually shown the day after, but Saturday event always = next Saturday for some daft reason.

 

Before Spike launched on Virgin I was having trouble finding Bellator torrents, so if anyone finds one on Sunday link me please!

It's all promo man (Ive not watched it yet, caveat), im sure he's just selling the fight. Hes fairly sensible these days. The more people who tune it to see him lose, the bigger the cheque.

 

Dude... I don't think he's playing around I think he's just thick. 

 

Watch this press conference for 30 seconds. It's the most cringeworthy thing I've ever seen:

Im not trying to be argumentative man, I agree Tito can often be a plum, but that just looks like nerves up there, and promo work for this upcoming fight. I've seen him be reasonably sensible and quite entertaining on TFATK before, I don't think he's all that bad. A wally maybe, a twerp, not a terrible guy.

In terms of promoting it is interesting; 

 

Tito: *serious face* "I have something to pay back... he embarrassed me on my birthday"      -.-     *serious face*

 

Chael is a bit retro too but he's at least entertaining. Connor is light years ahead of both I guess idk as Chael never had a belt. Would have been so funny if he actually got a title in the UFC. I hope he gets gold in bellator.

Remember when Affliction had events and thought having Tito do the post fight interviews was a good idea...

 

"Here we are with Seraldo Babalu, you did an awesome job, saw why you’re a black belt in jiu-jitsu, getting an awesome submission there, I want to tell me what you see, let’s go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."

I was never a fan of Tito, i thought he was a tit until he was a coach on TUF3 and he seemed a really good guy who cared about his team and helping them. Granted that was 10 years ago and i havent seen much of him since he beat Bader.

 

Edit: ive never tried torrents on my phone (galaxy s5 neo) and i gave up as sky blocks them on my home pc. Is it easy enough on phones?

Say no more, simply google "proxy bay" or "proxy KAT" and so on, and you find workable mirrors of the torrent sites. Then you download it fine. That's ISPs basically saying we'll unthrottle you, but we block the sites, ie: anyone who really wants them can get them, while the layman just gets blocked.

 

Basically, you're fine.
