What UFC couldn't have done in years took Coker only 4 months to arrange

[cyrusthevyrus]

Its not. Its a HW tournament marketed as such and it is full of LHWs and MWs. If they marketed it as a open weight it would be different but they are not.

ok, but its openweight.

 

[Phronimos]

Is this something the UFC has been trying to put together for years, no less?

I did not know this.

 

[markg171]

Fuck it. Mir beats Fedor.

The Pride fanboy meltdowns will be glorious if Mir has wins over Fedor, Nog, and Cro Cop

 

[Apollo33]

this is actually freak show tier

the SF one was way better with actual top heavy weights. even then people wussed out

 

[Pakman]

yeah...

Sonnen might actually win this...

He might win the fight vs Rampage considering Rampage’s TDD is trash nowadays. Bader vs Mo is a good fight honestly. It’s probably one of the better ones they could make. King Mo’s fought at HW so he should be ok if he moves forward facing the HW’s and Bader is a big ass LHW so he should be ok too. Prob just won’t cut any weight for this tournament.

Also, I just want to give a shout out to Rory. He said he’d like to be an alternate for this tournament. That kid has balls.

 

[Cold Front]

Fedor needs to retire. He remains the GOAT, but his best fighting days are many years ago and they aren't coming back.

 

[rapha1985]

This tournament looks gimmick at best, but I will watch it out. Here are my picks:

Fedor
Mitrione
Bader
Sonnen

 

[Soul On Ice]

Why are they bothering to call it a heavyweight tourney instead of openweight?

Because the winner will be crowned the Bellator HW champion which is currently vacant.

 

[Dertysandal]

No cheik Kongo? Bellators original HW star

 

[welcometohavoc]

hahah notice how they put the non-HW's in matches together.

Even Coker knows this is a farce

 

[Cold Front]

Fedor has a winnable fight. Mir isn't a knockout machine and can be UD'd, tko'd.

Doubt it. The guy who struggled to put away Fabio Maldonado and got KO'd by Mitrione is not going to beat any heavyweight who was just competing in the UFC, even a Frank Mir who is on a two-fight losing streak.

And I love Fedor. He's the GOAT. I just wish he stopped fighting.

 

[ripsta619]

The milks gone bad.

Still entertaining

 

[Azure]

Rampage will smash Chael

Maybe old Rampage.. New Rampage is garbage

also as I said before.. I can see meathead winning this.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

That was Nelson and Schaub

TUF 16's finale was headlined by Big Country vs Mitrione.

No cheik Kongo? Bellators original HW star

He told a French media that he'd rather wait for a shot at the winner once it's over, which sounds a bit optimistic.

 

[Torrid]

Bader / Mo, Big Country / Mitrione rematch is such a fucking waste.

Bader and Mo both fight at 205 and there's no one there, give him a title shot any other goddamn time. I love seeing Mo fight HWs and Bader never has, so what do you do instead? Have them fight each other in a HW tourney - idiotic.

Fedor / Mir and Chael / Rampage is good though.

 

[KingBeef]

No cheik Kongo? Bellators original HW star

I had the same thought. But watching his fights are extremely boring. He doesn't bring any star power to that tourney.

 

[chrisdiaz]

those match up kinda sck.

Mir Vs Fedor is great tho.
why Roy Vs meathead renatch ?
why put the 4 lhw against each other ?

Fedor vs Mir
Roy Vs Page

Mo Vs Matt
Bader Vs Sonnen

that would have been my match up

I didnt mind the original but these matchups are much better and would be more entertaining. Good job.

 

[HaulParris]

That was Nelson and Schaub

Shaun-Nelson was TUF 10 final. Mitrione-Nelson was headliner of TUF 16 Finale, because Carwin got injured.

 

[JT RIPPER]

Sonnen gonna get son'd

LOL, Fat Country worked Mitrione over.
