Bellator 158 was more entertaining than UFC 200

[Dessyboy]

MVP's KO was cool (Shame about Cyborg)

Mitrione v oli fight was fun

and Daley v Lima was good

 

[CDF47]

Really entertaining night of fights from Bellator. Yeah, it is a shame about Cyborgs injury. Just found out about that.

And UFC Fight Night 91 was better than Bellator 158. What's your point?

 

[Dessyboy]

no it wasnt

 

[Headkicktoleg]

90% of cards are more entertaining than UFC 200

Yup significantly better.

the point is maybe that ufc 200 was a huge disappointment (at least the main card, i thought the fight pass prelim was great and the fs1 prelim undercard was better than the main) but we all knew that already

 

[qw3rty]

It depends how you look at it
If you think about the results and how the fights had dveloped, yes
If you think about the matchmaking, name value and the entire card, no It wasn't

UFC 200 prelims > Bellator 158

 

[Clippy]

UFC 200 would have been better if it was any other number.

MVP's KO was cool (Shame about Cyborg)

Mitrione v oli fight was fun

and Daley v Lima was good

Cain beating the crap out of Browne was cool

Nunes v Tate fight was fun

And Aldo v Edgar was good

Also, bigger names, more at stake. So no.

I have to agree. Some chumps just spent 4 billion when they probably could have bought Bellator for less than 1 billion. And 3 billion would lure every single talent the UFC ever had.

 

[UFCFAN18]

I actually have to agree I really enjoyed the card.

Yep one of their best ones in a long time. Between Wednesday night UFC and this card the MMA gods gave us a nice repayment for the letdown of the 200 PPV maincard.

 

[Russie]

It happens. It's never a lock that any card is going to be more exciting than others. Names don't always genrate the greatest excitement but we still want to see those match ups. UFC200 had its problems coming together but it's behind us. The Fight Night card that followed was exciting and Bellator sat night was good. As an MMA fan I just want as many exciting cards as possible but realize there are going to lack luster cards and some outright duds.

 

[WallyBear]

Too bad I didn't watch it live because Bellator doesn't give a shit about its fans and makes their events harder to access than ever.

 

[skylolow]

Yes, the fights came off good. But as fans I don't think many of us were going bonkers a week out, two weeks out, a month out like fans were for UFC 200. So in the end doesn't really mean a whole lot. Orgs with very little draw put on entertaining cards all the time that have no build up what so ever.

To get ratings you got to have the build up before hand. Afterwards is more or less an after thought for most.
