Have you guys been watching these fights?
So far they have been pretty good.
I like that they are having tournaments to name a champ.
Last nights results.
Ben Askren def Ryan Thomas via technical submission Round 1, 2:40
It was a questionable stoppage. Thomas wasn't out, but he had his eyes closed, so the ref thought he was.
Wilson Reis def Shad Lierly via rear naked choke round 3, 3:33
Toby Imada def James Krause via armbar. Round 2, 2:44
Pat Curran def Mike Ricci via KO punch Round 1, 3:01.
Curran was the underdog.
That stoppage in the Askren/Thomas fight was complete fucking bullshit. And I was even rooting for Ben. That has to be the worst stoppage I've ever seen. He never tapped, he wasn't put or even close to being out, and it looked like he could have escaped there fairly easily.
i havent got to see any of the fights yet, but i will be 2 the bellator show live with my 3 guys i put on the show. lamont stafford 1-0 as a pro will face jules bruchez, charlie rader will face christian fulgium in undercard fights and on the main card bill albrecht will face jason macdonald.. cant wait till may 13th
Good luck. MacDonald is a stud.
Can you not watch the fights live this week?
Its on at 11 here. It was on live last week.
I did not expect Huerta to lose tonight. Huerta was -1000 favorite.
correction my guy bill albrecht will now face jay silva. after jason macdonald was called in to fight for the ufc and joe riggs was affraid to be subbed jay stepped in to face bill. also lamont stafford will face jules bruchez, and charlie rader will face christian fulgium. may 13th cant come fast enough.
rchoate - I did not expect Huerta to lose tonight. Huerta was -1000 favorite.
Shocker.
rchoate - I did not expect Huerta to lose tonight. Huerta was -1000 favorite.
shocker indeed but Huerta has always been overrated
LOL at the idiots that thought Eddie Alvarez would lose
AnthonySullivan - Jay Silva fucking sucks. Bill might actually win that bout.
LOL @ Riggs being afraid of Bill. Riggs has fought some of the best fighters around today so I'm sure he wouldn't be afraid of some no-name Oklahoma fighter who once got beat by a fat referee.
Jules/Lamont should be a fun bout. I hope the Rader bout gets put on television. I think that kid really has a future if he takes his career out of the Deep Dead South.
I dont even remember Jay Silva...I had to look him up and he does suck....
And why the fuck would Joe Riggs be scared? that is a retarded enough statement, you could now go live in hawaii...
he has fought cabbage, Fulton, Alex Stiebling, Kendall Grove, Doerksen, Ivan Salaverry, Rob Kimmons, Chris Lytle, Matt Hughes, Nick Diaz(once in a cage and hospital), Mike Swick, Von Flue, Eugene Jackson, Baroni, Hieron, and Kazuo Misaki....but you are right he is scared of a 14-9 guy from oklahoma with wins over the GREAT Ryan Lopez and.......well just let me know when he gets a quality win
Boycotting Bellator until I get a fight they were "impresed" at the tryout when I choked my guy unconcious in under 15 seconds... but still no word. Seems like everyone is going to the big shows but me. K done crying now gonna train hard and wait for a call.
you fought on strikeforce challengers!
Alvarez pwned Neer easily
Konrad looked good in the first...
you could fight joe riggs...he might be scared of you though!
Platy has been habitually overlooked for big fights for some time now.
i guess i worded that wrong, riggs turned the fight down saying he knew very little about bill except he is obviously a good submission guy. maybe scared was a little harsh. riggs has fought the best guys around. its just frustrating that we had this great offer and opponents 1 after the other all said they wouldnt fight for one reason or the other or gave no reason @ all. i cant wait for thursday.
hey just a quick update. i was informed this morning that bill albrecht vs jay silva may be moved to the main event of this thursday's card in monroe louisiana.
^^^
this
boy when i read bellator's email i was really sleepy from driving from the southern tip of louisiana. it didnt dsay that bill vs jay silva was gonna be the main event, but instead bill's opponent was gonna fight in the main event. now we had to find a new opponent. tried first for rudy lindsey, but he wasnt able to get to weight. so now i grabbed up another okie, and im not telling you who it is. but lets say that bill will be winning this fight.
Must be ryan lopez then
