Prelims:

 

[Sweater of AV]

Glad to see almost everyone made weight. Looking forward to it.

2 Pak Sat!

Looks like we got another Gracie with only two pro fights and hasn't fought since 2007.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I think it's probably safe to skip the first 5 prelims, but it should be okay after that.

@Bubzeh has been messaging me all week telling me how excited he is about the Deanna Bennett fight.

You wasn’t complaining when I sent you the “best of” Deanna Bennett compilation on your lunch break earlier.

All jokes aside, it’s a shining light on an otherwise tame card. Some interesting records in those first 4-5 fights.

Will be supporting Saul Rogers too, for obvious reasons.

First four, actually. Socrates' fight is off too if I'm not mistaken.

Judging by the big weight miss, I'm expecting Bennett to get rolled. Unlikely to see a finish, but one-way traffic is my prediction.

Unfortunately some breaking news about the grand prix.

"Johnson has withdrawn from his upcoming Bellator 268 headliner against champion Vadim Nemkov – and the tournament as a whole – due to illness, multiple people with knowledge of the situation told MMA Junkie. "

Omigod
That sucks

 

[JayPettryMMA]

So...if Romero wins, maybe he'll get slotted in as a replacement to Rumble.

 

[Ladder Master]

Oh shit Alejandra Lara is fighting!!

Was looking forward to Nemkov vs Anthony more the Jan vs Glover .... Why can't it be postponed ? What illness ? Very strange

war phil davis, always was a fan.

 

[Gio]

Looks like Rumble is going through some stuff. Hoping he'll get through whatever it is.

Holy fuck
All could be well in the world ... If Phill wins ...


Phill vs Nemkov 2

Looks like Rumble is going through some stuff. Hoping he'll get through whatever it is.

And damn prayers for the champ .

Are you sure? 10 fighters with a combined record of 9-9-1, should be fireworks.
