If this is making their televised prelims i'm going to assume one of those 2 girls must be smoking hot based on their records.

lol. I just finished googling them while making the thread. I was curious as to why this was opening the show. You answered it (for mma). That would be Heather Hardy. Making her MMA debut after being a boxer.

 

[CDF47]

Looking forward to ordering this one. I got Fedor, Chael, Davis, and Lima.

Hardy is an undefeated boxer, doesn't hurt the fact that Melendez got injured, and that the televised prelims aren't exactly top notch.

war Fedor!

 

[Andrey Kamensky]

Oh shit! it's almost time!

Heather Hardy (so the rest of you won't have to look up her pic).

It's a crazy world we live in. I would have never thought that the card I'm stoked to see the most this year is a Bellator card.

WAR The Bad Guy, The King of Sting, The Master of Diseaster, The American Gangster, the only and only Chael Sonnen !

WAR Emelianenko Fyodor !

WAR Aaron Pico !

WAR James "Lil' goat" Gallagher !

WAR Scott Coker !

WAR Goldie !

A card like this deserves the big boy treatment. Every fight on the main card should have its own thread, IMHO.

Unlike other bellator cards, this one is worth downloading on piratebay.

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

In, because this thread is the place to be.

 

[RizinSon88]

Saturday evening cannot get here fast enough...I'm glad the Fedor fight got switched over to this weekend

 

[sonhow]

Impressed how no ones pulled out yet.

[Meathead Jock]

Thanks came to post this should start any minute. Wand and Chaels first face to face?

 

[Meathead Jock]

Impressed how no ones pulled out yet.

Don't jinx it. I figured there was no way this thing could make it untouched.

Freeman stole the show for me with his talk about being the only fighter with a day job and using the time to try and sell windows to Viacom.

Fedor saying that he doesn't get excited about MSG or any arena in response to "whats it like to get to fight in the greatest arena in the world". His grin before hand made me think he wanted to insult it but bit his tongue.
