Kind of a poor night to have such a great card on in America. Huge day of collegiate football.

Can't wait for the Chandler/Alvarez and Newton/Mo rematches. Should be some great fights tonight.

Mike Richman vs. Akop Stepanyan is the type of striking I like to see in MMA!

EDDIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ALVAREZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Alvarez vs. Chandler trilogy has the potential to be as awesome as the Aoki vs. Hellboy Hansen trilogy. They stole each others faces, was absolutely horrorshow and all around mental fight.

Eddie is going to the UFC. His contract is done and the legal war states he can leave after.

another fight of the year candidate.

Wrong it stated he could leave if he loses. They have him locked for one more fight at least you know it will be the Chandler fight.

After the rubber match Eddie can do whatever he wants win or lose.

No way did Alvarez win that fight BS decision

Alvarez had to finish to win even his corner said you gotta take him out Eddie wtf the whole shit judging is killing me.

King mo got worked LOL that's what happens when you want to be a fake fighter it gets in the way of REAL FIGHTS.pro wrestling has no legitimacy in mma war Newton!.

Curran looked shitty never got going with his hands he just was on autopilot looked like he was sparring almost, no sense of urgency.

The event was not bad but fir bellator overall it wasn't great.

You basically have all your established names of the company losing tonight and a ton of decisions.

Also anyone else notice how baron the crowd was ......poor ticket sales rumors were on point.

Eddie won rounds 2 3 and 5. Round one was super close scored it 10 10 would give chandler a slight edge cause he was champ and chandler won round 4. People think Chandler won round 1 and 2 because he got take downs but Eddie was right back up every time not doing anything with them doesn't give you a round when you get out struck. Imo those judges did a good job not letting just takedowns cloud their judgment.

i agree p4e!!! eddie won 2,3 and 5!!! chandler in the second round only got the 2 takedowns but the majortity of the round on their feet eddie beat the shit out of him!!! in the second round chandlers eye was already a mess, with his jab and straight right

I had it for Chandler but it was a close fight.

Just watched thus Alvarez vs Chandler fight again.......

Chandler was robbed Eddie won 1 maybe 2 rounds no way should Eddie be champ.

124 all Chandler 3 Alvarez 5 draw

Chandler still should be champ

Both bellator commentators agree Alvarez needed a finish to win including the bellator app and Alvarez own corner wtf.

I thought it was a close but clear victory for Chandler. Shit like that ruins a fight for me. I don't even feel like watching it again because of that.

Watched it again still think Eddie won rounds 2 3 and 5 once again round 1 very close round 4 is the only clear cut round chandler won.

There is no way on gods green earth that round 5 was 10 10 that round was all Alvarez could have even been scored a 10 8 round was very one sided imo.
