This one caught me off guard but I think Liam destroys him. Liam by KO 2nd round

Bellator 185 thus far

Gegard Mousasi vs. Alexander Shlemenko
Liam McGeary vs. Bubba McDaniel

• David Rickels vs. Brennan Ward
• Heather Hardy vs. Kristina Williams
• Ryan Quinn vs. Marcus Surin
• Steve Skrzat vs. Costello Van Steenis
• Alec Hooben vs. Jordan Young

Also apparently Neiman Gracie is fighting Javier Torres https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/17065-javier-torres

Weak replacement. I wanted to see Liam vs Feijao

I wanted too see that fight aswell or Kleber Silva....They better make Feijao - Kleber Silva now though dammit

 

[FKA]

Kleber is 2-2 in his last 4 and not on a exclusive deal.

Definitely a fun fight but not sure he is a guy easily brought in to the usa.

Weak replacement but tbh i'd rather see a showcass for liam then have a good name replacement get a short notice fight and not get a good fight cuz if it.Generally when a guy loses an opponent less then a week out i'd rather see the fight canceled.

I doubt many named fighters or any guys were very excited to take on liam short notice haha.

The cards still good but it sux mo is out.

BS fight! No way to defend it even do a late replacement

LOL Bubba McDaniel

Not gonna be a good night for Bubba, at all

This is the best Bellator could come up with?

I guess it's an easy payday for McGeary

 

[FKA]

Anyone at the top of lhw is pretty much busy or unwilling to fight this short out against Mcgeary.

Pretty much no one wanted the fight except bubba and i believe guilherme was interested but not really any options.

It was bubba or no fight haha it will be bad fir bubba but great for the audience.

Still a good card im in.

Lmfao @ BFC

Not really any good options so you are gonna get a fight like this.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

I don't get why everyone is upset, its much more suitable for Liam at this stage.

Liam/Mo was horrid matchmaking. A fight against McDaniel is the perfect tune-up fight for Liam to get him back on track. Plus, who's going to step up on less than 3 weeks notice to fight Liam?

 

[FKA]

Mo imo would have wrestled him a ton and likely won.This fight will be a good showcase for liam and the mo fight is there whenever.

And yeah no one wants Mcgeary on a real short notice im just glad liam is still fighting at his age he needs to stay busy.

 

[LHWBelt]

I don't think Bubba is much of a match for McGeary but he's a decent journeyman. Hell I don't even really think McGeary is all that good but he's a better striker and has better grappling than Bubba unless the dude has completely changed since I've seen him last.

Will LOL hard if McDaniel manages to grind him out for 3 rounds

 

[DarkneT]

LOL Bubba McDaniel

Not gonna be a good night for Bubba, at all

Desperate for him to win

 

[sonhow]

Chael didn't asnwer the call?

Bellator would rather see Liam win so this makes sense.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

I think I see something like this happening.

 

[CC27]

Bubba's gonna get choked out.

 

[Falconkick]

Will LOL hard if McDaniel manages to grind him out for 3 rounds

That will be hilarious. What if Bubba takes over MW division bro

Bubba's gonna get choked out.

I'm saying dropped with a big shot than ground and pound stoppage

What a joke
