Lyoto vs Davis 2 Sept.11th Bellator 245

Haven’t heard from any other fights for this card
Bellator has a shitshow going on with marketing and announcing fights but I'm assuming a whole bunch of fights will be released as the week goes by. No big announcement or anything, just through twitter or in their web page.
 
Given that Bellator has been able to bring a bunch of Eastern European fighters, Im hoping to see Tokov and Koreshkov in this event.
 
Davis with that superhero Physique always looked like a serious menace.
Unfortunately he has always been happy to be a terribly boring wrestler with good defense.
Machida wins a clear decision again.
 
Dang, I've been waiting all this time for a Machida fight...and they make the most boring fight possible.
Davis has finishes in the majority of his Bellator wins.

I expect him to finish here too.


Anyone want to live in the reality where Phil Davis owns a KO victory over Machida?

You're already living in the one where Brunson KO'd him, and he went life and death with Eryk Anders.

How much worse can it get?

You haven't watched Davis or Machida in at least five years if that's a real prediction.
 


As per Ariel Helwani, Bellator will host back to back cards on 9/11 and 9/12. For the 9/11 card they have announced Davis vs Machida and Cat Zingano vs Gabby Holloway, so far. The 9/12 card looks way more interesting with a title fight between Archuleta vs Mix, Jon Fitch vs Neiman Gracie, and Dereck Campos vs Roger Huerta.
 
Fitch Vs Neiman is intriguing, if Neiman can stop himself getting Fitched then that says big things for his future, imo.

After seeing Neiman manhandle Ruth from the bottom, I dont see Fitch having more success. If Neiman beats Fitch he should be very close to a title fight.
 
The machida thought fought against sonnen at 205 recently might have a chance. He won the first fight against phill in their primes (or it should have been a win) that’s what matters

Yeah, I'd like the winner to fight MVP in a title eliminator.

This is a fight Neiman has been asking for a long time. I think he knows he is the perfect match up against Fitch. I dont think Neiman or anyone should welcome Fitch from top position but Neiman is capable enough from the bottom to avoid the gnp and threaten submissions, in case he finds himself on bottom of Fitch.

Machida doesnt stand a chance hes going to get submitted early. Davis was just entering his prime when they fought the first time
 
True, but the Bellator LHW isnt that deep to make any other fight. Nemkov vs Davis would also be a rematch. Perhaps this is the reason why Bader can move to HW and defend both titles at the same time, neither division is too deep.

Polizzi and Anglikas are good up and comers but by no means ready or deserving of a title shot.
Yeah if bader clears out Nemkov it's gonna be years before his next lhw defense.

Fitch outgrappled rory to a "draw" the same rory who held Neiman down like a child. Fitch will dominate the kid horrible matchup for him.

IDK, Nemian was able to threaten submission from bottom on Ruth every round of the fight until he got the finish. He even got his own takedowns against him. He also put Rory in danger in a couple of ocassions. Rory is not a threat from bottom like Neiman will be. Fitch is no joke but I think Neiman is ready, his bjj will be enough of a threat neutralize Fitch's wrestling advantage.
 
Zingano vs Holloway as the co main?

I hope they can announce a few more fights on Friday

For some reason more fights have been announced about the event on Saturday than for the event in Friday. At least 8 more fights need to be announced.
