Lets see what the zuffa shills have to say about this.

Great to see they did real good ratings. Glad Chandler/Alvarez delivered the way it did.

Crack Arnold, 45 Puddle and the rest of the zombies at Bias Opinion are talking shit about Bellator as usual. That's the most notable one.

Excellent news. Congratulations to Bellator and everyone there. Let the shills cry and whine.

1.1 million seeing that high caliber of a fight will do nothing but good for Bellator.

That was their stacked card though. It was very good to see and I hope it bodes well for them in the future, but I really don't care. It's not my job.

Sigh. Nice pecker, bro.

Anyway, back on topic. These are excellent numbers no matter how you slice it. People are laughing at Bjorn and Bellator due to the Alvarez contract situation and his subsequent victory on Saturday night, but the event was a big success. That's all that matters, no ifs ands or BUTTS about it. Ok, maybe one BUTT.
