PBP Bellator 297: Nemkov vs. Romero, Fri. 6/16, 6 PM ET/3 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

[IneedSometop]

Great body work from Pettis and hurt him with the kick at the end. 20-18 Pettis

 

[airic_15]

oh shit

 

[fortheo]

Tentative fight thus far, I somewhat expected this.

pitbull has been tentative for a while now. It's part of why I was confused as to why so many people were acting like Pettis was going to get murked

 

[Substance Abuse]

He was legit hurt there. He needs to get a takedown to start this next round.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Damn he got wobbled.

 

[AmonTobin]

Wow he caught some of that wheel kick

 

[markg171]

Night night

 

[Sixstring]

Well damn. Come on pitbull!

 

[BFoe]

Oh wowww

That was video game shit. Beautiful. Pettis 2-0

 

[Danespina]

Dang Pettis.

 

[neandertal]

He went into another dimension there..

 

[JoeRowe]

19-19

 

[Mind Mine]

Pitbull fading

 

[Carrotman23]

Wow Pettis looking great putting everything together in combos. Cant believe that wheel kick stunned Pitbull

 

[Bradillac]

Massive second round for Pettis. Pitbull looking really slow in there.

The more confusing part is people saying he could beat Volk.

Maaaybe old Pitbull could've been somewhat competitive (but still lost), but the version we've had for years no.

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Pettis is working way too well behind his jab for Pitbull to have any success.
Pitbull needs to be a bully here, he's trying to be too technical without taking the necassary risks.

 

[Ladder Master]

Sergio wins the shorts battle. It's like iron man or C3PO.

I am a damn fool.

 

[blaseblase]

Nobody in Bellator would beat their UFC counterpart except maybe Nemkov (depending on how he looks tonight).

And that's only because Hill is the champ as Jiri tore his shoulder and Jones decided to move to HW and win that belt instead and not because Nemkov is the best LHW.

I would favor Nemkov over Jiri, who wasn't even in the UFC a few years ago and came from Rizin. Just be honest you didn't even know who the guy was before he came into the UFC and started dominating this division of journeymen who only became relevant as the better fighters either retired or left the division.

Amasov v Edwards is a tossup imo.

Javier Mendez has said Usman Nurmagomedov is more skilled than Islam.

20-18 pettis in my book. It could be 19-19 if you have a boner for pitbull's takedown in round 1
