Gonna be going to the Bellator card if bro from my gym is fighting that night.

 

[Edmond Rousey]

Both cards will get ratings from me. I'll have both of them on the same time, different TVs.

 

[The Swirl]

Of course this is announced four days after I move from Connecticut. Go fig

How close are the venues? Would anyone with an option choose Bellator over UFC?

 

[IloveTHIS]

LOL Bellator is going to lose so much money on this. I wouldnt be surprised if they just cancel/move the event

Pretty close. Within an hour of each other. But, Foxwoods > Mohegan Sun by a mile. Mohegan Sun is a shithole. I saw Stone Sour and Skillet there and it was miserable. Foxwoods has the better hotel, the better casino, and the better food.

I live in Rhode island ..score

You been to Twin River? If so, how is it?

 

[Edmond Rousey]

Lauzon should main event. Boston is just a skip away.

 

[PAPERCLIP30]

Oh word I live in ct

Different nights, thats the best part if you're watching both.

Stupid move for UFC to do that. All it is doing is getting more talk about bellator. Fans know from strikeforce fighters destroying it in UFC. They don't want to think they still have all of the best fighters again. Everyone knows they dont

 

[The Swirl]

As someone who's been to MMA events at both venues, I think Mohegan Sun's arena has the better layout for MMA than either of the Foxwoods theaters. Both events will do well though
