Bellator 238 'Budd vs. Cyborg,' Sat. Jan. 25, 7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

Caldwell lands a couple of hard kicks to the arms and body before shooting in. Borics stuffs him and tries a guillotine on the way down but can’t sink it fully.

 

[Pakman]

Lol borics is shit

no he's not. He's just not as good as Caldwell. Caldwell has fought at the top of his division already, Borics is trying to get there.

Where are you watching these fights? DAZN? Or Paramount TV

DAZN

Good showing for Caldwell. Him vs McKee should be pretty damn good

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Fucking Caldwell. I hope McKee knocks him out next

 

[Ares Black]

Caldwell vs McKee is an awesome fight

Bellator's FW division is stacked, and far and away their best division.

 

[MMA4Life]

no he's not. He's just not as good as Caldwell. Caldwell has fought at the top of his division already, Borics is trying to get there.

Guchi has his number....

Trash talk should be good too

From what I remember, Carano kind of fell on Cyborg during a clinch that Cyborg kind of recklessly initiated. That fight was over 10 years ago though and Cyborg's grappling and takedown defense have very likely improved since then. On the other hand, Cyborg is no spring chicken anymore and so Budd might be able to power her down to the ground.

Yeah, I can’t recall now how it went down. I just hope it’s a competitive fight tonight, not a murder.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

how good is horiguchi looking right now?

Probably top 3 guy outside of UFC...

 

[Phisher]

I think Budd should absolutely do that if she can. Cyborg’s tough to take down, at least early on. Carano did it though, didn’t she? Been awhile since I watched that fight.

Cyborg pulled Carano into full mount when she was being overly aggressive. Haven't seen her be that reckless in clinch battles in years.

 

[Pakman]

how good is horiguchi looking right now?

next to Mighty Mouse, the best 135 lb and under fighter on the planet.

Henry could be #2 tho.

 

[MikeSloanMMA]

Caldwell escapes out of the guillotine and presses Borics into the cage. He locks up a rear-naked choke and forces the Hungarian to tap out

 

[Omni1]

It's NOT on Paramount.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

no he's not. He's just not as good as Caldwell. Caldwell has fought at the top of his division already, Borics is trying to get there.

Shit groundgame, doubt he makes it far.

 

[jjresq]

Looking forward to that semi final matchup between McKee and Caldwell

 

[Ares Black]

DAZN. And DAZN seems to be garbage tonight, at least for me. Glitchy.

Me too.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

What’s up boys, I’m IN

 

[cooljay1622]

how good is horiguchi looking right now?

yea but he got knocked out in his last fight. which was crazy.

 

[mime]

Fucking Caldwell. I hope McKee knocks him out next

thats the most interesting fight now. really hope mckee has something up his sleeve like in his last fight

 

[Pakman]

Guchi has his number....

yeah idk what that has to do with Caldwell having fought better competition, sure, he lost to gooch and Taimanglo (which he avenged) but he's also fought Higo and Dantas, Joe Warren etc. He's fought higher level guys than Borics, its not really surprising he won.

But that doesn't mean Borics sucks either like Schoolboy posted.
