PBP Bellator 253: Caldwell vs. McKee, Thu. 11/19, 4:45 PM ET/1:45 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

[Hellowhosthat]

I've been watching for 25 years and I've never seen it before.

It's because it's a ridiculous thing to get caught in for a competent grappler.

 

[neandertal]

I'll admit it.. I thought he was a bit of a gimme the first few fights, straight to Bellator etc, name, but he feels real legit nowadays.

I feel gross watching Bellator cards... it’s almost like watching WSHH

Shut up nerd

Sanchez is going to make Pitbull work, but Pitbull will win. I'm really interested in that fight with McKee.

 

[Kingz]

Why would McKee take a pay cut and be forced to wear only Reebok gear?

lol, Reebok is going to be the glory days when the much smaller Venum becomes the sole sponsor for the entire UFC

 

[Thesnake101]

yeah he must love fighting for the 20k people that watch bellator

You really think he'd rather get paid in exposure rather than, you know, actual cash? Are you retarded?

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Shut up nerd

Get out your feelings tough guy.

 

[Ares Black]

Hopping over to CFFC now

Yes he is.

Don't bother with that guy anymore. He's the biggest Bellator hater here and very low IQ dude

 

[Kryptt]

This card was a dud.

A dud really? I'll give many outclassed moments but lots a decent fun.

Hopping over to CFFC now

Oh shit thanks, forgot I got picks there!

OMW and brews ta pop!

 

[Kalmah]

Who gives a shit? He could be a millionaire? The UFC would probably offer him 20k to fight and 20k to win.

The fighters themselves seem to give a shit. There's a reason basically all their decent champs or fighter have left for the UFC.

Chandler being the most recent.

I think the sponsorship payouts are on the way down in a big way, not that they were so great with Reebok.

 

[EndlessCritic]

I reiterate: Chris Cariaso used this position against Takeya Mizugaki.

Because Chandler reached his peak in Bellator.

 

[europe1]

So... wait...

Does this mean that McKee sr knew that move all along and prayed that nobody would use it versus him while he was L&P'ing people?

 

[Bamboozled]

Lol what makes you say that? McKee has beaten nobody and Caldwell constantly gets tapped. He got finished by a Flyweight and a Bellator Prelimer 5’2 Joe Taimingolo or whatever his name is.


I hate to be a “UFC bro” but this is inferior product.

AJ McKee just beat Caldwell, who's a damn good fighter. Good fighters lose, kind of like that glass jawed has been you're named after. He lost too but hey you're a nerd.

Also he beat Karakhanyan and Pat Curran. You're a dumbass.

 

[EndlessCritic]

It's because it's a ridiculous thing to get caught in for a competent grappler.

I don't think so. The 100% sweep is a legitimate crank. Mckee is just a lanky animal.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

You really think he'd rather get paid in exposure rather than, you know, actual cash? Are you retarded?

If he can hit the top of the mountain in the UFC the financial rewards are even better though.

He might decide to do it from the competition aspect tbh, hypothetically if he dominates Patricio (easier said than done) then he might want the challenge of that UFC top 7.

 

[Vulcan]

how about both u dummy? u must be 50yrs old exposure is really important for young folks nowadays, the only people who love fighting for bellator are pitbull bros and cyborgs and they are constantly both begging ufc for a cross promotion

 

[wufabufa]

That's some 100% memory you got there

Back when the sport was on the come up, the fights were all important because there were so few events. Lots of memorable things happened. Once 2012 rolled around there were fights every weekend I've had a harder time keeping up with it all.
