You're Welcome

 

[Ken Fresno]

Olympic Rasslin > both of these shit shows

 

[Kungpowking]

Super excited to watch Bellator for that Pitbull/McKee fight. Rest of card looks solid too, but that FW GP hype is where its at.

 

[Thesnake101]

Both cards look pretty ass besides the main event of Bellator, tbh

Bellator card is trash minus the main event

C'mon, boys, Burnell/Sanchez is pure class.

 

[Char Jawz]

To be honest, if you can't watch more than one big fight card at a time, you need more screens in your life.

Watch one on your TV, one on your laptop or phone. There's always a way, homies.

 

[Bubba32]

Didnt bellator go out of business and get absorbed by Combate Global?

 

[wwkirk]

I agree. Bellator had the better card but there is no way I’m going to get Paramount Plus just to watch one fight.

ESPN+ and the Disney bundle means I’m watching UFC.

Just do the Showtime free trial for Bellator.

 

[13Seconds]

Yeah Bellator has UFC beat this weekend. Bellator is still king of shit shows but their main event is fire.

 

[JustOnce]

Well casuals and shills, we’ve finally reached the point where the UFC’s budget cutting and pure unwillingness to pay their fighters or do proper scouting has resulted in them having an inferior card to Bellator head to head. It’s official, if you watch UFC over Bellator on Saturday you are a shill/casual. There is no justification whatsoever. UFC card is equivalent to an LFA card and Bellator is featuring the best FWs in the world for a $1m Grand Prix prize. If you choose UFC, you are a self admitting casual and shill who will not be able to come back from this and all your credibility on this forum is gone, lost and unrecoverable. Choose wisely.

I think if this pandemic ever ends then the UFC will have all the fighters of the world as a resource on a regular basis, and the events will be more stacked every time. But for now, the stateside cards will at times be American-centric because American fighters are in the country, no need for the Covid immigration bulllshit and the quarantining etcetera. And overall, the calibre of fighters on average will be lower because fewer great fighters are available. When - I mean if - things are back to normal, no more 0-5-1 (in his last 6 fights) Smilin' Sam, and 5-2 vs. 5-3 WMMA fighters, on the main card. I hope.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

The Bellator card has 5 fights on paper I'm more interested in seeing than any fight on the UFC card.

Featherweight Patrício Freire (c) vs. A. J. McKee [a]
Featherweight Mads Burnell vs. Emmanuel Sanchez
Lightweight Usman Nurmagomedov vs. Manny Muro
Lightweight Brent Primus vs. Islam Mamedov
Lightweight Goiti Yamauchi vs. Chris Gonzalez

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I had to look up the line up seeing as OP wouldn't list it because let's face it, it's a bunch of nobodies fighting on the bellator card. I have no idea who pitbull or McKee even are

Wow, you should watch MMA more, you're missing out on really great fighters.

 

[MartinGibson86]

Killa B is a Just Bleed desciple. You casuals and newbies are hilarious. Do you like watching good fights or are you more interested in seeing Dana White behind the cage?

What goes through a person's head while typing out something like that? Is it exhilarating?


Wow.


Bellators got a great main event. Both cards are otherwise weak, and not everyone has Showtime

No doubt Bellator gets the nod here.
UFC will be recorded ad viewed the next day... and it should be what happens with terrible cards.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I'll watch them both in the morning but will probably watch Bellator first.

I still wish they hadn't gone head to head with the UFC with it, it's going to be a shame when a fight as good as this only gets 120k viewers or something.

 

[Gluhov]

Pitbull vs McKee is an amazing fight

 

[sdpdude9]

Neither is a great card but Bellator’s main event is superior.

 

[Just Creed]

Wow, you should watch MMA more, you're missing out on really great fighters.

I don't watch little leagues

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

I don't watch little leagues

LMAO, great fighters make orgs great not the other way around. Pitbull and McKee would easily be top 10 in the UFC if not top 5 or the champion.
