Ryan Bader vs. King Mo set for Bellator 180

Nice!  Old style King Mo takes out Bader but not sure about this new version with too much LNP and wall and stall.

King Mo injured, Phil Davis vs. Ryan Bader title fight set for Bellator 180

Former UFC light heavyweight contender Ryan Bader’s Bellator MMA debut was supposed to be against Muhammed Lawal. That fight will no longer be happening, as King Mo was forced to withdraw due to injury, so Bader will instead be facing reigning champion Phil Davis on the Spike-televised portion of Bellator’s first show at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Davis announced the news on The MMA Hour on Monday.

Replacement fight is better than original. This fight makes total sense since Bader won the first fight and is now in the org. where Davis is champ. LHW title fight for Spike is great news.

Heather Hardy is the latest edition.

I hope they get a lot of buys for this card. They put a really good event together.

Just a few weeks away until Bellator's mega card on PPV.

One week away. I'd love to see Fedor get a nice stoppage win against Mitrione. Would be cool to see Wand finish Chael as well but I think Chael is going to win this one. Wand has been out for a long time and I don't see that playing well for him. I think Chael might get the stoppage as well.

Going with Davis holding onto the belt.

Im so pumped for this....

Fedor vs meathead...

Mittrione is a huge danger has massive power,speed,and i think reach on him but in both his bellator fights he was hurt by his opponent showing he has openings fedor can exploit.Fedor said last camp was condensed and mostly in Russia and he had to rush a bit,but since the fight rescheduled he spent time in poland with guys who could mimick meatheads style.So sounds like he trained smarter and is healthy for this.......its a tossup i truly like both guys but i never go against fedor.

Wand vs chael.....

Watching the Bellator countdown show wand looks mentally refocused but he looked really slow in training and chael looked more in shape and in focus after embarrassingly losing to tito.I think silva has been away much too long and chael wins by second round gnp.


Davis vs bader 2

Really fun fight i think this is a toss up first fight was boring but now bader is a better kickboxer but i think davis has sharper hands both have excellent wrestling so its a tossup but i'm rolling with davis by decision.

This is BEST OF THE REST category on other site.Combo card featuring LFA,Cage Warriors,Brave Fc,& Bellator 180&ppv.

That's good Fedor has had a better camp this time. I was a bit worried last time when he basically barely trained for the fight.

Kinosis you should join our Team Global Mma !!!

Team peretti join us too gotta have heretic too all my raider nation join us lol.


Yeah fedor stands a much better chance after actually specifically training for meathead something he hasn't done in the past really so im glad he truly seem motivated to show the best of himself that he can.......IM SO HYPED.

One of the biggest thing's UFC has is their PPV model, if Bellator can get it's own...

Always get nervous before Fedor fights and this one is no exception. It's a dangerous fight but I hope he can stop him in the 2nd or 3rd round.

A number of these fights could go either way and are a bit tough to call but I agree with your picks. I got to catch that pre-fight show.

Yeah, I hope this works out for them.

Putting Bader vs. Davis as free fight and not as PPV imo is mistake but I could be wrong.

I think that fight should be PPV as well.

Well, they're wrong. Fedor is going to win this one. Bonus points if he walks out to eRa.
