Bellator 158

July 16, 2016

O2 Arena (London)

London, England

Bellator 158: Daley vs. Lima (aka Bellator: London) will be held on July 16, 2016 at the O2 Arena (London) in London, England. The event will air live in prime time on Spike TV. The Mohegan Department of Athletic Regulation was responsible for drug testing at this event and marks the first time that Bellator had a US-based athletic commission exercise regulatory powers abroad.^[15]
Background
Originally, Bellator President Scott Coker announced that Kimbo Slice and James Thompson would compete in the main event of Bellator 158, to take place July 16 at London’s O2 Arena.^[16] This was to be a rematch of their infamous 2008 clash under the EliteXC banner which ended in a controversial TKO win for Kimbo. Tragically these plans had to be scrapped, as Slice died suddenly on June 6, 2016 of heart failure.^[17]
Josh Koscheck was scheduled to make his debut on this card against Paul Daley. However, Koscheck withdrew from the bout and was replaced by Douglas Lima.^[18]
Fernando Gonzalez was supposed to fight Michael Page but vısa issues forced him off the card and was replaced by Evangelista Santos.^[19]
Contractual issues with ATAK Promotions caused Mark Godbeer and Ben Smith to withdraw from the card.^[20][21]
Linton Vassell was supposed to fight Francis Carmont but a cut over his left eye forced him to withdraw and be replaced by Łukasz Klinger.<sup>[22]

I'm already on Daley. TD defense too strong and stand up much better. Prolly goin 3 but could see him w a TKO. Also Lima has only fought 2 times in 2 years. Daley is on a good streak right now.

Ok you big ballers!!! Who thinks the Daley/Lima line is off??? I really think Daley wins a DEC. in his home country. I'm really ready to lay more on Daley. Got $50 on him straight right now.

Decent Watch...

Daley TDD is bad, and Lima is better standing. Daley bouncing back and forth between KB and MMA makes it hard for him to find his range properly. Lima -140 all day.''

THere ofcourse could be some London fuckery, judge wise.

[PaperTrail07]

Leaning Lima myself...Size advantage -good overall skills.....don't see him running from Daley,,,

[Ty$]

Alright respek to your opinions. I've seen bigger dogs with worse skills win. Bisping pulled it off over there. Daleys TDD is underrated I think also. Lima ain't a D1 wrestler by any means. I give Lima over stand up skill. Lima will be tentative. But I give Daley the KO fight ending ability. Also hometown. And Lima is up to -210 unplayed for me.

[PaperTrail07]

cant disagree with you---hes proven the KO power is there...Hometown....he DEF has a shot...I think lima edges it------is -210 a good line for that --NO...

[GoBlue77]

daley looks like a sucker bet just like macdonald was in south dakota

[HurlSweatPants]

Daley definitely has the ability to KO Lima, at +165 it's not a bad line. It's been creeping below that in my book though so I will stay away.

[Sanity Check]

Main card starts in 20 minutes?

[HurlSweatPants]

Man, I was just watching highlights of Page, the dude is pretty exciting. Should be a good watch.

[JuicedUp]

this isnt on tv live? tape delay

[HurlSweatPants]

I am going with Carmont ITD, and hedging with Klinger ITD.

Gallagher at -380 is too much for a young fighter, neither of these fighters have ever gone to a dec so Fight Wont Go 3 is a solid look.

[mackave]

Will this be streamable anywhere?

[HurlSweatPants]

Will this be streamable anywhere?

I's sure firstrow has it, they normally are good at streaming mma. I haven't used them in sometime though so things might have changed.

[mackave]

Nah I mean is this gonna be on TV/stream anywhere live, or is the whole thing gonna be a rebroadcast.

[beermankirk]

the UK feed is a 1 hour delay, on from 1-4pm pt 4-7pm et, the northa america spike feed is a 6 hour delay, why the fk even bother?

[beermankirk]

its on the usual stream sites now the 1 hour delayed UK feed.

[mackave]

Yeah fukkin bs

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

someone needs to kick this guy in this toothpick legs...

[Ty$]

daley looks like a sucker bet just like macdonald was in south dakota

Let's see if I made another sucked bet

[PhoKing]

SPOILER:





























Lima won

[firekillex]

Venom page is a beast reminds me a lot of Anderson with his flashiness and elusiveness but against lower level fighters , but still highly impressive. That knee was nasty and crazy athletic he jumped of his right leg looked like he was going for the left knee but seen the head come right so he adjusted before he even could throw the left knee and connects with the gigantic Ko blow

then the guy throws a damn pokeball at him with his hat on throwing the peace sign
