Lyoto vs Davis 2 Sept.11th Bellator 245

Rachel Da Bear said:
Contrary to what most Lyoto fans believe, controlling distance and feinting with your hips doesn't score points.

What does? Taking people Down. Hopefully Phil puts that juicer away this time.

Getting hit, and then getting a takedown where nothing happens isn't supposed to score any points either. You had three Sherdog judges for the fight, none of them could find a single round to give Davis. It's not just about "Machida fans."
 
MAIN CARD (Paramount, DAZN, 10 p.m. ET)

  • Phil Davis vs. Lyoto Machida
  • Gabrielle Holloway vs. Cat Zingano
  • Taylor Johnson vs. Ed Ruth
  • Raymond Daniels vs. Peter Stanonik
PRELIMINARY CARD (MMA Junkie)

  • Rafael Carvalho vs. Alex Polizzi
  • Tyrell Fortune vs. Jack May
  • Keith Lee vs. Dominic Mazzotta – 140-pound contract weight

Very interested in the Carvalho Vs Polizzi fight, I'm very high on Polizzi and obviously Bellator must be to give him a former MW champ straight away.

Yes, I was surprised to see them throwing Polizzi right into the mix. A win here puts him a few fights away from the title.

It should have been a main card fight. I like the fight

Yeah, I get wanting to showcase Daniels with his flashy style and wanting to build Cat as a contender, but Ed Ruth lost his last fight and is fighting a guy who lost on the Contender Series, so I don't see why that's on the main card ahead of a former MW champion against one of the best up and coming LHW's in the sport (arguably the best).

Bellator REALLY needs 5-fight main cards, these 4-fight main cards are lacking another good fight there. The event today could have used the Amasov fight in the main card, and same thing with the Polizzi fight.

Machida is a pretty bad matchup for Davis. I wouldnt be surprised if he walked away with the w.

If he can avoid the takedowns and land some knees and straights, he can win this fight. Just hard to say how age and ring rust must have slowed him down, his style is so reliant on a bunch of things that decay first.
 
I think a lot of people are going to be with me on the Alex Polizzi hype train after this fight.



Of course now I've said that he'll probably get demolished, but there we go.

Im high on Polizzi, although he needs to improve his striking. Still, I favor him over Carvalho, I think he will wrestlefuck him.
 
Fortune KO's (head kicked) a guy from Power MMA Friday sparring, and just went 10 rounds with a Heavy weight Olympic Hopeful boXer today....He is putting in real work! Also, is going to CCC Henry's Cujudos Physical Training center. Guys are so scientific on performance. Some Olympic wrestlers are now here in Arizona for training (I believe at ASU) and he has been starting to wrestle every week with them.

I like what I see!

I still say he is the best HW potential star in all of MMA!
