Cat vs 4-5, 40 year old Bus driver and Raymond Daneles who is awesome to watch vs some 4-5 Cab Driver/ CAN should NOT be on the main card and Tyrell VS Jack May is not Even though he is on his last fight of the contract, Bellator is Idiotic for doing this!

Coker only cares about is broken old UFC names and Instagram Girls....If they do not come hard to keep Fortune, he is gone!

Fortune is also fighting a cab driver, but at least Daniels and Cat are name fighters.

 

[CC27]

They just need Cat to win cause they dont want to give her a title shot vs Cyborg without winning a fight atleast.

 

[Kos Fan]

Fitch VS Gracie should be a fun grappling match.

Raymond Daniels is like 40 years old and 2-1. What the fuck are you expecting?

Are you mad because they booked your boy against a 39 years old can yman that is 1-4 in his last 5?

Just celebrate... Fartune is getting back into the W column after this one.

They asked for Roy Nelson, and a few other names.......it was this guy or a LFA fatty!!!!

This is a business. They need to pay Fortune to fight names! He gets paid shit and will more than likely leave Bellasnore

Last time you threatened that and he just reupped. It'll happen again.

 

[CorninginChristianburg]

Ruth vs. Johnson hurts. I like both. Want both to succeed.

I like Polizzi and desperately want him to win. But I think he's way in over his head vs. Carvalho. His jiu jitsu is not better, his striking is not better. He can wrestle better but whether the fight stays on the feet or he takes it to the ground I don't see how he wins. Maybe Kamaru Usman style. I don't know how else.

Madrid is a fine opponent for Vanderford...

No joke, not only Bellator but the UFC, too. With Bellator is more notorious because these 4-fight main cards leave legitimate fights in the prelims to make space for WMMA fights nobody cares about. For example, for Bellator 245 they should switch Carvalho vs Polizzi and Zingano vs Holloway. And for 246 is the same, switch the Carmouche fight with Vanderford's. Or just have 5-fight main cards...

Put some respect on Gabby Holloway's name. She's 30, she paid her way through Veterinarian School to become a Veterinarian while she was fighting and trained for MMA in an area where there was no real MMA gyms, the Rhoadesville, Virginia area. Her last fight was in 2017, in which She whipped up on Alexis Dufrense in the 2nd Round to move to 6-5.She chased her American Dream by going out and doing it herself and not using any excuses to keep her from doing it.

taylors been cross training with us in Portland and looks amazing. This is a huge opportunity for him

TBF Tirrel Fartune still has to beat someone legit.

He got knocked the fuck out by the first mid-tier HW he fought.

He needs to prove himself.

 

[kingcillo24]

Bellator is putting Roger Huerta on a main card in 2020. In his last 15 fights, he is 4-11 with one of those victories being via DQ.

 

[kimocomplex]

Campos is going to hurt Huerta

Polizzi is a going to be bigger and stronger than Carvalho, he'll fuck him up against the cage and beat him up imo. I must admit I've never been particularly impressed by Carvalho, even when he was champion though.

She is tough as hell. Hard worker I think she got a rough dec against Blencowe, which I think she won that fight. Very close fight.
