Bellator Fighting Championships

[TheIceman]

matt major, LOL

played the opener on Shlemenko

I hear he has ''head issues'' like Paulo Filho that kept him from fighting for over 10 monthes , should be a cake win for the russian .

[TheIceman]

Weak division , Baker will take it I guess but then he would have to face Hector Lombard , not sure about him winning this . Baker has no wrestling background but he is black belt in judo , Lombard is Olympic level judo guy tho .

What do you think we see Alvarez - Neer at? I would love to get Alvarez under -200.

Im thinking it will probably be around -350, theres no way in hell Alvarez is gonna lose this fight

[Educ8d Degener8]

If you're on Alvarez and have Bookmaker, get on it fellas... -120 at the open.

[terpkeg]

If you're on Alvarez and have Bookmaker, get on it fellas... -120 at the open.

took -175 for 2u, woulda hit -120 for 3.5 probably, checked a couple times earlier. sucks i missed.

[The HOFF]

Damn, I was late on that Alvarez line!! -200 4u to win 2u.

[playa420]

Holly shit,I need to get some money in bookmaker, I cant believe they had alvarez -120. I just unloaded on him on -240 and I still fell like that was a good deal.

[Educ8d Degener8]

Wow.

The Cole Konrad line opened at -550, and is now at -1100 and -1700 at the books!!!

[RobbReport]

damn what channel is fox sports

[Educ8d Degener8]

Line movement hasn't convinced me to jump on Neer... so it's likely a no-play for me.

I'm really intrigued by a play on Imada. He's 4-1 over his last 5 fights; those 5 opponents having a combined 72% winning percentage, and his loss was to Alvarez. Meanwhile Vanier is 5-0 over his last 5 fights; those 5 opponents having a combined 40% winning percentage -- so Vanier is hardly facing world beaters. He is with Greg Jackson's camp though, so should come in with a solid game plan. I need to watch more Vanier footage -- how good is his wrestling??? That's the key to this one imo. Well that and how is Imada's TDD? Imada's pretty slick with subs so if Vanier does get it down, he could pull off a sub, or perhaps simply use his guard to neutralize Vanier... I need to watch more tape to see who has the advantage standing.

If Imada has lacking TDD, then I suppose there's a chance this could play out like a poor man's version of King Mo vs Mousasi.

* - Fighters agreed to hold the bout at a catchweight

[BIGDAY]

Sucks that Conrad's line is so favored. I don't see him loosing, but anything can happen!

[TheIceman]

I think Vanier will beat up Imada who lives off the ''fluke'' win over Jorge who was a minute away from taking a 30-27 UD . Tho he lacks the experience and Imada might catch him with some tricky move .

[bogbat]

Jordan Brean has Imada to win. That's enough for me to roll the dice on an Imada, Alvarez parlay.

[bogbat]

Anyone got a bellator stream they want to share?

[bogbat]

found one

[brooks85]

wow that is a shit ton of vaseline on vaniers head lol

[bogbat]

Very entertaining fight. Love that arm bar finish by Imada!

[brooks85]

no doubt, the scissor takedown was nasty

[JuicedUp]

did curran pull it off?

[playa420]

big ass upset

[JuicedUp]

damn curran did it!

[illmatick]

Curran just made my night

[brooks85]

i dont get that, i thought the last two rounds were huertas, curran was back peddaling most of the time, and had his back against the cage for a good chunk too, seem like huerta was controlling him too me.

[brooks85]

i need neer to win this but i dont think he is going too

[brooks85]

wow that was impressive by alvarez, didnt think he would beat him like that

[playa420]

alvarez is da ****ing man!!!
