Lol....

I think I'm out on this card as well. Hard to bet on.

[Hugo de Naranja]

@Jibs Yeah lots of chalk and have been spending my capping time looking at other fights.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Bellator = chalk

Nothing new here

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Bellator tries to make people believe that they have the best fighters.

So they put scrubs up against the fighters that they want to build up to make those fighters look good.

It's kinda fukked up but that's how they roll at Bellator

[spurginobili]

Starting now

[spurginobili]

First big dog hit +428

Watched a few of Goff's fight today...he's better than what I saw, or maybe Gracie was overhyped

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Damn you, Gracie.

[Fedor]

Was trying to help a long distance friend setup a new laptop, and missed the Gracie fight. What happened? Have to guess he got KO'd.

Yes, TKO

Near the middle of the 2nd Goff teed off with about a dozen clean, hard elbows & punches standing...that was it

[DiggityDaggityDo]

I missed the Gracie fight too.

Champion took a beating like a champ.

[Fedor]

I got small plays just cause I want to watch:

Ilima MacFarlane (+145)

RRRound Robin (4 Parlays)
Magomed Magomedov(-400)
Linton Vassell(-350)
Romero Cotton(-260)

[Fedor]

I guess nothing to see here on the prelims. Always will watch Gracie fights, but didn't touch thankfully. I'll watch the main card on DVR after football. Good luck DDD and whoever else has action.

[Sanity Check]

missed the Gracie fight. What happened?

Gracie showed good skills.

6'3 welterweight might not have his weight cut dialed. Looked like he got tired in round 1 and wasn't able to recover.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

You can watch the fights with Chuck Lidell

What happened with the Davion Franklin match?

Did it get canceled or did I miss it?

[Sanity Check]

Cancel afaik

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Cancel afaik

Damn. Had him in a parlay that was still alive.

Oh well, I'll just cash it for a lower payout.
