[Andrey Kamensky]

War Kongo and Grove! should be a fun event.

 

[TheBrownRanger]

Well Kongo vs Spartan has more relevance to their division's title picture than Daley vs Uhrich or Thomson vs Villaseca did so I still like the main event. Kongo gets viewers so I don't think Bellator will be upset at losing Galvao vs Dantas again.

I like Spartan so I hope he gets the KO in this one, he's gotten alot better since his early Bellator fights. Kongo is 40 years old and utilizes the same gameplan in every fight so it's obvious he hasn't improved. If Spartan wins, he should be right up there with Lashley for a title shot. Nobody wants to see Minakov vs Kongo again.

Grove vs France should help clear up the notoriously murky MW title picture. Never liked Kendall Grove so I'm hoping Kiko could pull off the victory.

As for the rest of the card, meh, don't really know how I feel about it lol.

Rooting for kongo. Been a huge fan of his since his fight v. Pat barry. One of the craziest comebacks ever.

[Kinger85]

with the main event falling through, not much on this card fancies me all that much.

 

[CC27]

Losing that main event kills this card, its horrible, WSOF level.

 

[InvertedCross]

Bummer was looking forward to Galvao vs Dantas

 

[LHWBelt]

Losing that main event kills this card, its horrible, WSOF level.

Yeah. Kongo/Spartan is good imo but I don't care for anyone else on the card. Rickels isn't athletic enough to be good and Grove looks like he gets killed and should never fight again half the time. The rest I don't really know too well. I'm still excited because it's a big fight for Kongo, he can't lose this.

Is she sponsored by Reebok or why are the colours of the Russian flag on her shorts in the wrong order...atleast that's what I think it should represent.

 

[melvinj0]

Pulling for Spartan, just makes the HW division in Bellator more interesting if he wins.

Lena is Ukranian. Not sponsored by Reebok. Could be the Thai Flag on her shorts since she is a Muay Thai fighter, though it seems to be a simplification of the Thai Flag.
