This may sound like a stupid move on Belator's part, however i can guarantee that my wife who mockingly refers to MMA as gay porn when i'm watching could pick both Chuck and Cro-Cop out of a police lineup every single time and i know for fact the last thing she would say is: "Aren't they too old to be fighting"?
Seems dumb on it's face but it'll probably draw well enough and sadly, this will get 10X's more promotion than anything the UFC will be putting out.
'Aaaah just one more thing'Columbo is reserved for belt holders and tournament winners.
I didn't even know Betator had an event this past Friday. So, the people, who are hoping for the UFC to die, can go to hell. Because, I love UFC MMA, and if the UFC dies, I think MMA will die with it. LOL
They need Japan rules in a cage with elbows and headbutts and alligators.The greatest thing
For mma fans would be the major organization is held overseas. As they would be allowed to use rules to that will show you who the best fighter is.
The unified rules are a joke. The most vulnerable spots in a fight are safe spots in today’s mma. You can touch the damn floor so you can’t get knees in the face.
It’s all about gaming the shitty scoring system.
Holding a guy down and taking the fight out of the fight is rewarded in today’s mma.
If the ufc suddenly died. I wouldn’t want bellator to get the torch or any u.s based promotion
Viacom is not giving him a blank cheque though. Coker overpayed plenty in Strikeforce and suffered because of it. Just because he is paying these top guys does not mean they are doing well, in fact they are not getting great numbers at all.

Where is @FrankieNYC to end all this nonsense about Viacom?
Bellator is a company formed and backed by a big tv network to counter UFC programming and also to fill in a time slot. Think Microsoft deciding to get into the console business. Even when they were losing profit they didn't care. They wanted to capture a part of the market. It's an after thought program of an already successful company.
But I'd be interested to see their profit margins. I would say the margins are very thin. Probably just enough to stay afloat and stay within positive numbers.
The UFC has big loans to pay off and has to make as much as possible. There's no loans with Bellator.
