[Mortal Wombat]

LETS GO FEDOR!!

 

[Gilday]

Don't know much about the prelim fighters, but pretty confident with the main card.

Would love Chael to pull it off, but Fedor is a bad matchup for him

 

[Chuck Ortiz]

I got Chael P Sonnen by spinning elbow KO.

 

[alexxx]

damn, didnt know Smooth was even fighting tonight, lets go Fedor and Benson !

 

[seau45]

Shael by arm triangle choke

 

[TITS]

Is Chael gonna walk out in that Apollo Creed outfit?

 

[Egészségére!]

Fedor vs Sonnen is an interesting matchup at this point in both their careers
really hope this one goes to the ground

war Fedor

 

[Bestonian]

I have money on Fedor but I'd be the happiest mofo if Chael wins.
Money on Johnson as well, really hope old man Kongo doesn't pull a miracle here.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

I'm a little shocked, the prelim card only has two pro fighters with >.500 records, it's incredibly inexperienced even compared to last night.

 

[Frank23]

This place might go insane if Chael beats Fedor.

 

[Meathead Jock]

I'm a little shocked, the prelim card only has two pro fighters with >.500 records, it's incredibly inexperienced even compared to last night.

Yea surprised they didnt try to throw one of their groomed wrestlers on their given the traffic the main event should bring.

 

[Andrey Kamensky]

The wait is almost over! The atmosphere before a Fedor fight is always so tense and crazy. I'm excited as fuck!!

 

[Meathead Jock]

Curious to see if this thing brings in huge ratings or leaves Bellator counting their lucky stars that they locked into that DAZN contract.

 

[Deleted member 549255]

Can’t wait!!!

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Yea surprised they didnt try to throw one of their groomed wrestlers on their given the traffic the main event should bring.

Right? Any of the Fortunes or Trices or one of those up and comers, showcase them on the prelims, something.

 

[Vatenkeist]

Highlights from last night. Fedor/Chael nationalis type commercial at the end. Things are getting interesting.

 

[SiMntjMMA]

War Fjodor!

(joking) somebody should announce an admin that this is a Bellator topic in UFC ))

 

[Kalmah]

I hate how Bellator does prelims now since Coker took over.

Just a bunch of regional bums and amateurs the results of which are of no consequence to the promotion since they'll likely never fight on a Bellator card again. Dumb.

Should be used to build up lesser known but talented fighters like they used to, but who am I kidding they're just interested in signing 50 year old has beens and UFC castaways.
