[qw3rty]

Damn I didn't know Ebersole was cut

 

[beefcake180]

Lots of good boxing to make up for the lack of mma this week. Didn't know Rick Glenn had a fight lined up either, which is a pleasant surprise.

 

[originalbadguy]

Rander Junior (10-1) vs. Erick Barbosa (17-7) - Lightweight Title
Handesson Ferreira (8-0) vs. Jorge Filho (5-1) - Welterweight Title

Both nice fights would watch over everything on bellators card except chandlers fight and Lawrence

 

[Necrocrawler]

Damn I didn't know Ebersole was cut

I think his contract ended and so he retired. Anyway. Good to see him back.

 

[CC27]

Porter/Thurman is by far the best fight of the weekend.

Joshua fight

Chandler/Pitbull

Page/Ishii

Lawrence/Isoa


The meathead fight does nothing for me, if he fought someone better I'd have him in that 5th slot.

 

[beefcake180]

Isn't there a Glory card saturday too?

 

[Kinger85]

thanks as always.

Lot to like in the Glory card. Love that Jauncey/Moiseev matchup.

Hopefully Sittichai can get some semblance of justice as well.

[NHB7]

Great Bellator Card. I'm very excited.

I didn't even realize there was a HW boxing title on the line this weekend (even if it is IBF). I'll definitely check that out as well.
