whoops those are pre-recorded, fuck my brain is fried. Jumped to the real card in time for the main event at least!

THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!! JUST SCREAMING AT MY SCREEN, "ADJUST ADJUST ADJUST!!!" AND HE GOT THE WIN!!!

An absolute war with Curran and Straus. Easily the best fight of the year in mma, thus far.

Close fight throughout, rounds 1 and 4 specifically. Agreed with Jimmy Smith's scorecard completely, though.

Yeah, that was pretty crazy. I didn't think he was gonna get it. If the dreads were in the way it never would've happened.  

Pretty incredible comeback by Curran. Bellator delivers again.
