okay. made this one early. kind of confusing. My tv lists it as being on at 10pm est on Saturday. Tapology has it at 3pm. Some places list those kickboxing bouts as being on before the main card. But Bellator's website doesn't. So i'm not sure what's up with that or how to watch it.

I am fairly certain I read some where that the kickboxing will be aired on tape delay a week later. Which would be really lame. But I recall seeing that.

 

[Go Go Plata]

Yea I'm really confused on this card and the kickboxing card. I guess it'll become s bit more clear around weigh ins.

You are correct, that's what I remembered but the Bellator homepage says something different, but it's older than the Bloody Elbow article:

Bellator Kickboxing's debut event will air on Spike Saturday, April 16 at 9:00pm ET/PT on brief tape delay. Earlier that day, Spike will broadcast Bellator MMA's first international show, "Bellator 152," LIVE at 3:00pm ET

They probably switched it, because the Henderson vs Koreshkov card draws more eyeballs. So they hope that a lot of the viewers stay at Spike and watch their kickboxing debut.

I really hate Bellator's information policy.

 

[USAUSA1]

The kickboxing portion will air the following week after Henderson debut.

I have a sneaky feeling, Bellator kickboxing will be more like pro wrestling without calling it that.

Man, Bellator sure did slack for this card. Italy getting that bad international UFC card treatment! Next week's event should make up for it though.

WAR Pitbull!

 

[dickcheney]

It seems strange that there is like no info for this card or previews on the sherdog.com main site, or else I don't know how to use it

 

[Frank23]

Why is Bellator having a card in Italy?

Is it good for business?

[fedemma]

Why tapology has some results? they are true?

It says Sakara won by KO for example
