do you think bellato was faking?

[dipstickjimmy]

i didn't think he was faking it when i watched the fight, but 24 hours later influencers are putting out videos claiming he was faking.

So what do you think? Any substance or fuck these keyboard warrior influencers who never trained and have as much mma knowledge as the full send guys?

Why is he faking something? He was winning the fight. It was only the first round. The way he went out was weird for sure. But the way he snapped backward isn't something you can fake IMO.

If you're legit rocked, KO'ed, or just utterly blasted with a shot that knocks your brain around, your FIRST reaction isn't to look at the referee to complain that it was an illegal kick.

Fake.

 

[Nabs]

Faker than a $2 bill. The kick didn't even land. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets quietly cut off the promotion.

 

[sdpdude9]

It seemed very odd because he looked at the ref and protested as he went down. However, we have seen delayed reactions before to be fair. Suspicious but weird shit does happen.

 

[ElLunico]

Are you serious? Lol. That dude should win an Oscar for best actor.

 

[SKYNET]

think?

 

[Pequeño Corey]

KO was 100% real. brain shut off slowly like Burgos vs Barboza. No fighter is that good of an actor.

I’m open to this.

If he was losing the fight I'd be more convinced. But he was beating Craig's ass, why the hell would he act like he got KO'd?

It was weird as hell, but so was Burgos vs Barbosa.

Either way, what happened to him was ILLEGAL.

How did you not think he was faking? Was it the hands you look at the ref that made you think this is legit?

I do think he was faking.

Doesn't surprise me, he's Brazilian. Whether it's PED's, missing weight on purpose, eye gouging, holding onto submissions too long, grabbing the fence, pulling an Erick Silva where you go for the glove touch only to throw a punch instead, etc....Brazilians are habitual cheaters.

And it's not just their MMA fighters, their soccer players dive and play-act all the time. Neymar? Rivaldo? To quote one of their most famous defenders, Roberto Carlos: "It's not cheating if the ref doesn't call it."

My ex brother-in-law was from Chile and he pretty much confirmed that it's South American culture that if you're not cheating, you're not trying. It's not just a thing, it's cultural. And when I pressed him on it he walked away, he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Seriously, other than JDS (who was clearly on roids once he left the UFC and BKB'd fellow Brazilian roider Wedrum) and Demian Maia, name one high-profile Brazilian fighter who hasn't tested positive for PED's and/or got caught cheating in some other manner? And don't say Jose Aldo, maybe he hasn't tested positive but even Joe Rogan himself has accused him and his camp of juicing.

Bottom line: Brazilians habitually cheat. They like it, they support it, they think if they're not cheating they're not trying. So let me die of not being surprised when a Brazilian fighter faked injury to try and earn a DQ victory.

This ^^^^^^^^^

You mean guys like Anthony Smith?

why do u keep saying this? "that good of an actor" the point is it was not good at all... hence the topic of discussion...

[Hymen Crusher]

Wasn't sure at first then yes 100 percent he was faking. Its dumb all you have to do is say I cant continue and people would be a little mad but this was super unnecessary

 

[bng]

have to call Oscar's nominee Allgermans Stealrings for a consultation to make a precise conclusion

 

[NILLI]

100% just watch the replay the kick hardly hit and he was looking at the ref going WTF and throwing his arms until in the split second he decided to weezle out of the fight. LOL that shit was embarrassing.

Dude went from this ^^^ to a coma, to pretend wrestling the ref within a 12 second time span.

Ive seen better actin in tough actin Tinactin.

I can't believe all these fucking retards speculating like they're not sure. Jesus christ

 

[FreedomCricket]

I am currently leaning 85/15% fake/real.

He looked at the ref on the way down but when he realized the ref was looking at Craig, that's when he just closed his eyes and pretended to get KO'd.

May he legit got woosey when his head hit the canvas though? The whole reaction after was just wild.
