Bellator 130 Jansen vs Hawn

[Slongkong]

so far

Jansen vs Hawn
Bobby Lashley vs Karl Etherington
Dave rickles vs tba

 

[Go Go Plata]

Should be a good card. Get Rickles an easy win in his homestate

 

[HaulParris]

Didn't Jansen win a tournament, and if so, shouldn't he get a title shot at some point? I understand Spikeforce/Cokeator did away with tournaments, but that shouldn't leave recent winners with their manhoods flopping in the breeze (especially with Alvarez leaving the organization, and there being a need for a clear #1 contender to face Brooks-Chandler winner). Say Hawn and Chandler both win - does anyone really want to see a rematch? Unless they're hoping to build up the lesser Pitbull brother towards a title shot (which he will inevitably lose).

 

[Slongkong]

Jansen wanted to stay active instead of wait for the winner of Brooks vs Chandler

 

[Tamriel Terror]

hawn seriously needs a division around 160

even if Jansen wins I'm betting Held/Pitbull winner gets next. I think this is to eliminate Jansen so they dont have to give him that promised title shot. NObody wants to see him fight for the title.

Rickles and Hawn are two of the most regular faces to Bellator, and Lashley is a TNA star...

Im going to say that this is one of the more successful cards, despite not having anything overly large on it.

 

[Slongkong]

Brent Primus is supposed to be on this card or 129 can't remember which

 

[ZombieXIV]

Hawn going back to 155?

Yupp. Did you see how small he looked in the cage with Keslar and Lima? It was comical.

I think 155 is perfect for him. He's still quicker than most guys and probably hits harder

If Held wins I don't see how they can justify giving him a shot over Jansen considering Jansen already beat Held for his initial shot.

 

[Heat Vision]

Never liked Rickles for some reason

 

[SILVAREDEMPTION]

Somebody knows more about Lashley's opponent? at least seems like a decent step up from his last opponent.

Never fought anyone even remotely decent, and looked really bad in his one Bellator fight. Still a step up from Josh Burns though..

 

[Chramelated]

Lashley is one busy dude
