This fight was so close that Scott Coker should force Eduardo Dantas and Joe Warren to combine their bantamweight titles so they can take on all challengers as the newly-formed Bellator bantamweight champions of the world. The fight was back and forth, and it came down to one round as every judge had it 48-47
Royce Gracie has now joined Randy Couture and Stephan Bonnar as the third UFC Hall of Fame member to jump ship to Viacom. Aging stars joining a lesser known organization with deep corporate pockets, turning their backs on the largest promotion in the world that helped make them just as much as they helped make
Alexander Shlemenko will one day throw a spinning fist and or kick with such force, he’ll create his own field of gravity. It is known. We’ve been following Storm’s career since he first stepped into the Bellator cage. You know, back when they were on ESPN Deportes, and we’ve loved him passionately ever since. He’s
Few things in life deliver, but you can bank on the sun rising, Rousey by armbar, and Melvin Manhoef putting on an entertaining fight. Those are the only constants in life in 2014, it is known. Tonight we got exactly what was expected between Doug Marshall and Melvin Manhoef, and it ended in such a
A barn-burner, a slobber-knocker, a slug-fest, whatever you want to call it; that is what this fight will be. You want to see a slug-fest? Check out Doug Marshall vs Brian Stann. Epic. Yes, The Rhino lost his belt to the All-American that night, but that’s just the type of fighter he is. He either
Paul Daley was with Bellator, then ran into some legal trouble, and now he’s back in Bellator, ready to be reunited (it feels so good) with Scott Coker. Our wonderful friends at WHOA TV were documenting Bamma 16 last night and were able to nab a fascinating interview with Semtex in which he admits what
One night, two cards. Bellator and the UFC went head to head and the resulting collision gave us a hangover that only a Justin McCully reveal and a Alistair Overeem knockout could induce. Ouch. It was one hell of a Friday night. Let’s start with the UFC. This UFC card was FUN. Not the band fun,
Over the past months and years even, my interest in MMA has slowly been on the decline. Each event bleeds into the next and they all merge into each other to form an endless mediocre MMA world. Each event feels the same, each event looks the same the same bland gray canvas, the same bland
I actually spoke to you a few years ago when you were in Strikeforce. We had a really interesting talk. Obviously it’s been, ah, I want to say three years since then, and a lot has changed. How does it feel to be back with Scott Coker and company? It’s great. I think everybody has
Where oh where has Bobby Lashley been? Yeah, you’ve seen him on TNA recently, but after a loss to Chad Griggs in Strikeforce and James Thompson in Super Fight League, he pretty much disappeared. Where was the man who was once an Olympic hopeful and seemingly the next big thing in MMA? He was taking
According to Ariel Helwani, who is reporting a statement from Scott Coker, Stephan Bonnar has signed with Bellator. “Stephan is a guy that has been a huge part of this sport and we are excited have him part of the roster,” Coker said. “He was one half of probably the greatest and one of the
According to Ariel Helwani, who is reporting a statement from Scott Coker, Stephan Bonnar has signed with Bellator. “Stephan is a guy that has been a huge part of this sport and we are excited have him part of the roster,” Coker said. “He was one half of probably the greatest and one of the
Scott Coker made it clear that one of the big fights that he wants to make is between newly-signed sluggers Melvin Manhoef and Paul “Semtex” Daley, barring that both men make it by their respective Bellator debut fight opponents, but it looks like that fight not might happen. The reason isn’t because Melvin Manhoef is
Bellator is getting more bella. For you non-Guido types who comprise one half of the MMA community, that means beautiful in Italian. According to a press release, President Scott Coker is reviving the company’s women’s division with the signing of two of FEMMA’s top featherweights, Marloes Coenen and Julia Budd. “We’re incredibly excited to bring
TMZ just broke the news that the Las Vegas police force is scouring the city/desert for a War Machine after three people were put in the hospital after a wild altercation. One of which is supposedly his girlfriend, Christy Mack. You know her. Don’t act like you don’t. She’s in videos only mature people should
Look, when it comes to a Scott Coker and Rich Chou-run Bellator consider us believers. Not Beliebers because we aren’t 12 year old girls (are Beliebers a real thing anymore? Has everyone moved on?), but we believe. Strikeforce was the little promotion that could, putting on some of the most memorable MMA events to happen
