PBP Bellator 265: Kongo vs. Kharitonov, Fri. 8/20, 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

Lol. On the one hand that shouldn't have been a split decision, pretty clear 29-28 I think. On the other hand, Logan's jiu jitsu is not very good for someone who has been in the game as long as him. He needs to be a lot more productive with the control time he had. Full credit to Schiro he fought hard but ultimately I think there's not a lot of good arguments that he won either of the first two rounds.

Can won and landed more shots. 1 judge got it right

 

[Fesaine]

I did. Who is he beating out of those in top 10?

Logan isn't beating anyone in the top 20

 

[Carrotman23]

I just have more faith in him that Kharitonov at this point. I’d rather Kharitonov KO him honestly.

former PRIDE fighter , and a Russian. hard not to root for him .

*Cough *Cough - Excuses

Brutal ? haha that was a horrible showing from Logan . For the moment his ceiling is clear

Brutal as in brutally bad. I suppose in the context of an MMA fight it may not have been the word to use.

I was standing up when I heard it was a split. That is not the performance you want to reward. I love giving rounds to activity to the bottom. That's the way MMA needs to be judged to discourage this type of fight not to mention it's literally what the criteria says. It's why I was so pissed when Primus lost to Mamedov.

No one, I don't think he can compete with most outside of the top 10 after witnessing this shit.

One thing this sport needs is more boring ass wrestlers.

Watch a few regional Russian orgs. 95% of the events are Hump and Thump...

I would wanna see him fight Mark O Madsen. He wouldnt even beat him.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Schiro was game off his back. It's not easy to do damage against someone who knows how to play guard like that.

Schiro was landing a lot of elbows off his back in the second round and clearly won the third.

Jerin Valel clearly saw Schiros elbows in the second round.

Battle of the old farts next

Yah, and I want to manage the Wendy's, we can dream though hey Logan.

 

[thebohdan]

If he's "one of the best 170'ers", then they need a total revamp. Lol

I agree. If he’s ranked 5 (understanding the rankings are by media and therefore bullshit) then their ww div is incredibly thin

madsen is actually a decent striker with KO power. He would destroy this boring lay n prayer in the first round.

 

[Carrotman23]

Im not even mad at the split decision , i hope this is a wake up call for him . Judges can swing the other way when you do no damage and just rely on control

 

[Vulcan]

typical bellasnore, fuck Kongo is next

 

[PurpleStorm]

Interesting that Storley is apologizing to his fans for a lackluster performance. At least he's candid. It really was not a great performance.

It’s insane that Kongo is 46.

Zero chance.

You think there's any striking in a Madsen-Storley fight LMAO?
