Awesome

I like Patricky but I hope held gets the sub, preferably leg lock

WAR Marcin Held!

Alexander"Storm"Shlemenko to Defend 185-Pound Title Against Brandon"Bull"Halsey at Bellator 126

Is this that wrestler who looks like he cuts 900 pounds?

The Guy that whooped Brett Cooper I like this fight tho Halsey might just out grapple storm.

There's also fights between Bubba Jenkins and a Costa Rican can crusher and Mike Richman vs Ed West

real good fight card

This card is great!

Excellent main and Co main

As well as some great show case fights with great prospects fir bellator.

I've been really happy with matchmaking and prettumuch all the subtle changes they've made.

Halsey has a great chance of beating storm this fight is really good.

Patricky vs held is an excellent fight tho I see pstrickys standup overwhelming held he's reckless enough to try crazy subs do you never know.

Mike richman always fun to watch and I like Bubba Jenkins as well.

My money's on Halsey to become the new Bellator Middleweight champion.

He very well could do it but he will have to finish storm early cuz I don't see Halsey controlling for 5.

I think storm will retain by body blows and the sheer will of God! And some training sessions with the goat.

Hopefully Halsey follows the Tito Ortiz game plan of taking Shlemenko down, maintaining top control and submitting him in round one.

I hope Shlemenko wins this.  I want to see Shlemenko/Manhoef for the belt.

Tito was gigantic Halsey wont have same success IMO.

Last loss scared storm he's ready for war he's going to make a statement against Halsey.

ahahah seriously fuck off

come on ??? EVERY decision?

Yeah they are making subtle production changes I appreciate as well as the recent cards while not stacked on paper has produced some very action packed cards.

Do I love bonnar no but I like the end product plan which is what I'm backing.

Instead of bitching about a sport I supposedly don't watch or support ....

you are seriously deluded the sport was much better and healthier years ago.

no i dont really watch it other than a few favourite fighters.....but I keep up to date with whats going on with the north american landscape of mma and i can say it's gone to shit.

I really dont understand how putting lashely and king mo on a card vs two cans make for a stacked card? I will admit last weeks card had better names on because of the Brazilian prospects.

Theres too many squash fights with UFC/TUF rejects on the main card. why should I take them seriously or bother watching? You only care for bellator since coker took over. I was the one since 2009 supporting bellator hardcore until viacom fucked everything up.

Are you fucking kidding me Guy??

I been around here longer then you defending and supporting bjorn rebney.

I was even one of the first to bitch when bjorn was fired but I like coker and I like bellator.

I've watched bellator from day one just like I did strikeforce and I will continue to do so.

You sir are the exact definition of a fair weather fan lmao

Your the Bellator hardcore .....what a joke

I hope LaRue Burley keeps winning, the blanket killer! The prelims were pretty damn good.

I just got home missed Prelims....

Wish bellator would air them....but yeah cheers guys another Friday night fights lets see what unfolds!

West looked good moving well landing little shots ...BUT

Richman has great boxing and once he found range ZZZzz wild west was sleeping.fun fight.

Another highlight real finish for BELLAFORCE

Bubba trying to bang LOL leads to a great takedown outta nowhere and a wonderful grappling battle.Bubba starting to round out his game and this new dude meller is pretty slick with sweeps and standup.
