Live close by. Don't see myself going with that headliner​
 
I hope this doesn't live up to the "hype".

Not exciting but a fight i'm curious to see the result of... I think Tony Johnson wins but it is a good test.
 
Black on black crime.

Am I weird in being excited for a Kongo fight?
 
This is the correct fight to make. I got Johnson by UD, Kongo is on his way out.
 
Decent fight for Bellators HW div, not really that good of a main event though but Kongo has done good ratings for them in the past.

I mean probably. I've rooted for Kongo ever since the Pat Barry fight though and will until he retires. One of the craziest things I've ever seen. Dude's a legit dangerous fighter still at 41 and I'm kind of bummed he got booked against Johnson. Was hoping he'd maybe find his way into that Rizin tourney. Oh well. Johnson probably wins this but I wouldn't count Kongo out.
 
I'm waiting for a Meathead vs. Kongo matchup.
 
And why do you have champions if you don't make them fight Coker......
Really?
 
Holy shit I can see this fight being bad, like really bad
 
No interest in this really. Both are boring.

It is the fight to make though.

I agree, but it shouldn't be the main event.
Bellator has learned nothing with Carvalho vs Manhoef borefest
 
They don't have a HW champ.
Makes you wonder, who's gonna fight for the HW belt? Kongo and Johnson are main contenders so I guess that leaves:

Minakov, Lashley, Kharitonov and Mitrione

Only three possible ways this goes: Either they go the tournament route, Minakov leaves and it's Lashley vs Mitrione, or Minakov gets pitted against one of them.

True but there's not a whole lot of fights they could have put above that one. Kongo gets ratings, somehow. I don't think it'll be as bad as Carvalho vs Manhoef. Carvalho vs Manhoef was one of those fights that didn't deserve to be dignified with a winner.

I think Lashley vs Mitrione will be fighting for the title as soon as Mitrione will be cleared to fight again
And it makes a lot of sense for the ratings and both fighters
