Shoulda just seen bonnar talking mad shit on Tito.

LOL at announcement and fight so fake!(on event)

A good show so far...but that was sad.

Coker is bad for Bellator.

Bonnar talking trash about the mother of Tito's kids.

This is a low point for Bellator. Even for mma pro-wrestling style trash talk that was pathetic.

I have NO interest in seeing this fight.

I'd rather see Ken Shamrock and Tito fight again than see Tito vs Bonnar.

That was just dumb. Didn't these mother fuckers ever hear of "build-up"?

Will Brooks Vs Michael Chandler 2 also announce for this card

If you're gonna sign aging UFC cast-offs might as well have them fight each and get some use out of them than have them get beat by the young talent.

Seriously was that Justin mccully????

lol yes it was. The "big" reveal he was standing there with a mask then Bonnar is like you might notice this guy! The crowd had 0 reaction because I don't think most people knew who he was.

lol at Tito calling Bonnar and Mccully drug addicts. Right before that Bonnar bringing up Jenna this was a low point, but still looking forward to the fight!

That WWE style mask and staged fight was so damn stupid.  There is no place for that extent of WWE fakeness in U.S. MMA.

saw a video on youtube watched Bonnar speak for 30 seconds. it was so fucking riduclous i switched it off

Bellator is going down the fucking toilet wake up people!

MMA will never grow as a sport when all these cheesy gimmicks are being used to capture the attention of some channel flicking idiot.

MMA will never be a big sport. deal with it!

Obviously trying to attract the TNA IMPACT audience ...... it was hilarious to me

I had about 5 texts from casual fans I introduced to mma ask me if it was real ...
They were pretty hyped also twitter was pretty busy during and after so for what its worth I guess it kinda worked.

Not my style at all tho......

Also I didn't see Tim Sylvia unless he's coming next week....and was the dude in the dumb mask Justin mccully? That dude disappeared lol

The fight card for Bellator 131 continues to grow as one of the most controversial figures in MMA returns to the Bellator cage as King Mo will take on Tom DeBlass in a light heavyweight affair

Don’t Blink: “No Mercy” Melvin Manhoef Meets Joe Schilling at Bellator 131

When Melvin Manhoef joined Bellator in July, fans instantly began creating their own dream matchups for the Dutch finisher. Bellator President Scott Coker wasted no time putting Manhoef in a fight fans couldn’t wait to see, pitting “No Mercy” against “The Rhino” Doug Marshall, and Manhoef didn’t disappoint, delivering a violent one punch blow that ended Marshall’s night in under two minutes. With momentum on his side, Manhoef is set to meet his next challenger, #1 Ranked GLORY Kickboxing Middleweight Joe Schilling. Nicknamed “Stich ‘Em Up” for his devastating fight style, Schilling returns to the MMA cage for the first time in since 2008 and is very clear on his expectations for November 15^th.

Can't fucking wait man

Just noticed Nam Phan is on this card! I will always remember him not only for his exciting fights, but also for his call out of Steven Segal! I didn't know he was fighting in Bellator now!
