[BisexualMMA]

Hopefully when the fight is over, Kimbo and Dada can shake hands and submit their scrotums for measurement.

 

[chunglii]

I think Kimbo wins by having the better technique. I can't believe I just typed that sentence.

 

[shonuf]

I'm going on record as loving Kimbo vs Dada. I've wanted to see it for a long time and i'm not above it being on bellator. lol

Kind of bummed Kimbo is older and looking pretty flabby/no muscle these days but he still hits hard. Hope we get a good old fist fight.

 

[Andrey Kamensky]

This gonna be fun!

 

[barehanded]

Atrocious undercard. I know it's Bellator, but still.

 

[VIP1349]

I don't know how streams work. But it seems crazy to me that the kickboxing one messed up. And they couldn't get this weigh in one going either.

How have MMA promotions not figured it out yet?

 

[WallyBear]

Okay, who wants to have a laugh? I'm lost for words. Oh Melvin.

 

[Frank23]

 

[VIP1349]

They need to stop giving Melvin 155 pound fights. Clearly can't do it.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

Melvin, Pineda, and Sanchez all missed weight? Wow.

 

[thedevious]

Lol at Melvin missing weight. How many times is that now?

 

[chunglii]

lol I love how Royce and Ken weighed-in well within the LHW range. I guess the concerns about size aren't a big deal any more. Meanwhile, Kimbo is at a 30+ pound weight disadvantage!

Royce Gracie vs Ken Shamrock III is gonna replace Gus vs Jones as the greatest LHW fight ever and Kimbo is gonna unveil his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the world.

Spoiler

Oh yeah, and Guillard missed weight. Again.

 

[Sakuraba808]

Would be pretty awesome if Kimbo submitted Dada.

 

[VIP1349]

Deep down I haven't been this excited for a Bellator card in a long time.

 

[TCE]

Any idea what time this starts in New Zealand, please? I'm on holiday, lol.

 

[BroITrainUFC]

Royce 190?? How many weight plates did he fit under his Gi? Shamrock looks great considering his age.

No idea what to expect, but I'm like


(WTF is that stupid frame...let me fucking embed a .webm like a gif!)

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Hopefully when the fight is over, Kimbo and Dada can shake hands and submit their scrotums for measurement.

"YOU FOOL!!!!!"

 

[Ye]

What happened to Shamrock's big muscles from the Kimbo fight? He must have radically changed his... training methods!

Dunno, he still looks pretty jacked. Different haircut, though!
