Bellator/WSOF/One FC etc events Thread

Watching ONE FC at the moment. The level of refereeing is appalling. Standing fighters up when they're in top mount. Stopping fights to adjust fighters hand position.

Shocking.

0-1 pro fighter with questionable grappling,
calls out 1-1 pro with questionable grappling, and son of the fighter with the most questionable grappling ever.


It bizarrely makes sense. It gets him headlines outside of boards.ie and SBG twitter feeds - for minimal risk.

So Diego Brandao, after being the victim of illegal strikers and subsequently giving a kick back, has just hopped over the cage and left in the middle of his fight as bottles and cups reign down at Fight Night Global :pac:

he was dead right there, disgraceful refereeing.

I see Chris Fields has got a fight on the KSW card. It'll be interesting to see how that event sells being on just under 3 weeks before the BAMMA/Bellator card.

That will be Yuji Shimada. Possibly the worst referee I've ever seen bar Steve Mazzagatti.

Watching BAMMA here on Dave and your man from Geordie Shore just starched some lad they found down the gym to fight him.

Winging haymakers against somebody whose never fought doesn't make him suddenly legit.

He's fighting the same competition as Gallagher is to be fair...

Anybody going to Cage Warriors tonight?

I couldn't really turn it down for £20(standing seems weird but we'll see), no clue about any of the fighters though

Gallagher is fighting actual pro fighters at least. Trashcan pros, but guys training to fight professionally all the same.
The guy in the video above was 0-0 and could have been pulled out of the nearest pub for all we know.

That's an insult to seasoned pub-fighters Mellor.

He lost his last 4 amateur fights prior to fighting Chalmers. :pac:

I'm slightly surprised he even had a ammy fight. But a guy losing 4 on the trot has no business going pro.

Still it was an excellent night and an absolute steal at £20

Scott Askham v Luke Barnatt at ACB in Sheffield this weekend should be a good one.

Very difficult to call.

Gamebred

A good one how exactly? 2 of the most boring fighters you could come across ufc rejects.

martyos121

Yeah that one really does nothing to whet the appetite.

It was actually a very good, entertaining fight. Striking battle from beginning to end.

I know they must have the opposite of a talent finding scout but how do you find someone 7-3 who doesn't even have a coach. That's good work.

I absolutely hate Roy Nelson. Argh.

TerrorFirmer

That was a good Bellator event, all pretty good fights and some great knockouts. Thought that was bizarre alright, your man just winging it without a coach of any kind....thought Roy Nelson did OK though the other guy was terrible on the ground, says a lot when Nelson goes to the ground for the entire fight.

He was on fight by fight contracts.

It says in the article he had a 5 fight deal with the UFC.

Jesus that's ridiculous. I'd say they cut him after he got knocked out by the planet so.

The most undeserving multi-fight contract that ever there was.

dashoonage

Bellator champ within a year....wait and see! :P

MartyMcFly84

Most UFC's contracts are like that. They could be for a 3 or 5 etc fight deal, however the UFC holds the right to terminate the contracts early, which they tend to do after losses, bad performance or other issues outside of the ring.

This means that if you are winning they only pay your contracted amount for the 5 fights or duration of the contract and then renegotiate or not renew, however they can also cut you at anytime particularly after a loss.

Gamebred

Redmond and Ward 2 bums anyone paying to see them fight is smoking something.

I wonder will the BAMMA card outshine the Bellator portion like last time.

Give the fighter bashing a rest - its against the charter.

KSW is on in Dublin this Sunday. If anyone who is not going to be there wants to watch the fights KSW are doing ppv online for €10.

If you order through a fighters link they get a cut of the ppv and Paul Redmond is donating any money he makes from his sales to Temple Street Hospital. Link below.

Is KSW on eirsport?it says it is on their site but it's not listed on sky

LollipopJimmy

Looked at tickets to the Point (It'll always be the point to me, none of this o3 Arena ****e for me :P ) Only €145 tickets on sale last night but seems there are more €95 tickets there today. Are the 145 worth the extra 50 bills would anybody that's been to an event there before know?

It's on eirsport 1 Wednesday at 10pm. The event tomorrow is on ppv so they won't be showing it live.

Autecher

Anyone watch this. Not the best event but the Hardy-Williams fight was an entertaing kinda sloppy fight. And the main event

I thought Mousasi adapted well considering he had no vision from 1 eye but Shlemenko really could have done more to capitalise. He just kept going for spinning backfists which were not connecting.

The calls for a robbery wernt justified imo, decent scrap.

Hardy got smashed up, bit off more than she could chew. Fair play to her coming back i didnt think she woukd after her first fight.

Autecher

Yeah fair play but I hope she leaves it there now. For all the talk of boxing vs mma the last few months her mma boxing is very bad, just sloppy head movement and wild swinging of the arms
