Lads has Charlie ward retired or is he injured or what?

He's throwing down at bellator soon I think...A man at his peak like that shouldn't retire.

Really like the Bellator card tomorrow, they do a cracking job of putting together cards with a bit of everything. I'll always be excited to see Fedor fight, Pico has a real test and Ricky Bandejas fighting too, along with Jack Swagger for the craic. Good times.

The White Feather

Just saw this pic of Jake Hager/Jack Swagger and his opponent.

Made me laugh but who knows what will happen!

Subcomandante Marcos

0-1 as a pro, 1-3 as an amateur.

Bellator love giving lads tomato cans to fight.

Neither, he is fighting on the Bellator Dublin card next month.

It's not, it's on tape delay Sunday night on 5uk. It's 2019 and Bellator are still putting things on tape delay over this side of the water. Shambles really. I'll be torrenting it the next morning.

It's nothing to do with the Promotion, it's Paramount UK's choice not to air it live, they have the rights to by default through their ownership but choose to re-run ****e english tv shows instead because they think they'll get better viewership the next evening.

In other news, Bellator signed AJ Agazarm.
Hope he gets murdered.

So is

Bader the Champ Champ Champ now? He was rocking 3 belts in the cage at the end of that fight.

Enjoyable event overall!

Do we need to spoiler the results of last night's card?

Might be best to keeping spoilers going until after in airs on paramount.

Fedor surely done now. Got dropped with the softest lead hook.

AJ Azagram...lol

Aaron Pico...also lol. His boxing credentials are surely confirmed BS now. Just winging punches with his hands down and chin out.

cletus

I agree with all the spoilerd things you said, would have said them myself except couldn't be arsed doing the spoiler thing on my phone

dulux99

I'll spoiler tag these but surely anyone reading this thread on a Sunday afternoon should expect them ...

Two crazy ko's. Pico just can't take a smack. Two brutal kos and he's only 22, doesn't bode well for him. Would love to see Bader back in the UFC at HW.

The Bandejas fight was poor. Two sloppy MMA fighters. Shows how far away Gallagher is from the level he thinks he's at.

Also, having watched the main card start to finish this morning, it made me so glad that Mike Goldberg isn't involved with the UFC anymore. I never particularly disliked him when he was with the UFC but Jesus he spouts some sh*te.

ricero

Agree about Goldie.

Listening to Jon Anick makes you realise how bad he really was.

Yeah Fedor just has too many miles on the clock, 42 years old, 46 fights, and some serious damage in there. Legend is an understatement but it's time to hand them up

As for Pico, he has very good hand speed and his jab is crisp but the lad has no chin.

cletus

Or fight I.Q.

Physical he's got the goods. Speed there.
But after the first shot lands the hands drop. Maybe years years of wrestling posture is hard to shake. But it leaves him easy to hit.

Mr. Manager

People saying he has no chin; there's not too many people who would take a punch like this and carry on

ASOT

He has no fight IQ imrather than having no chin. But he's only a 22 year old kid so That can be improved with more experience. He gets into a brawl inside the pocket and leaves himself compleatly open.

Eddie said it best.

Agree with the above. Not the below

"Pico just can't take a smack"
"As for Pico, ... the lad has no chin."

It's his skill/ability. Not his chin imo.
Look at his left hand at the start of that clip. It's hard to spot, but it's down so low it's below his hip. Zero defense and his opponent just wings one in without looking.

Mr. Manager

Not arguing his fight IQ, I even clarified in the post above yours and quoted the two posts I took an issue with

Fight IQ ain't great at all but he was obv just looking for the finish and think he'd get stopped

Some of Mike's magic water.

Fairly disappointing card. Fedor was/is a legend, but it's time to hang up the gloves. Bader is worth better competition than that, I'd like to see him return to UFC for a few fights.

Pico, as expected, he has good hands but terrible fight IQ.

Bandjeras....not a terrible fight but nothing special.

Jake Hager was interesting to see, though the guy he was fighting is a total nobody.

No tickets for the Dublin show available on Ticketmaster today.

It has hardly sold out, has it? :eek:

Whelo79

Fighters/clubs will still have plenty floating around I'm sure.

I hope it is sold out. And I hope people stay for the whole show. Too many fans are just rocking up half way through to see their mate or leaving a quarter way through because their mates fight is done at many of the local shows.

magic_murph

Where do you watch the Bellator fights ?
Is there a similar setup like fight pass ?

Interested in catching the MVP V Daly scrap

It's being shown on Channel 5 in the UK. If you have Sky, you can tune it in on the Other Channels section.

dulux99

Bellator held a press conference today teasing the announcement of a TV deal. At the press conference they then said they'll have an announcement in 48 hours. Useless.

Hopefully this is a full time setup and not a “one and done” thing just because it’s Daley vs MVP.

Will it be live on Channel 5? I don't have Sky Sports.

What a huge coup for Bellator. Will be mad to finally see mma on sky sports.

The deal is for 20 events apparently. Great news.

That's basically every event until the end of the year.

That's great news. I think sky had Cage Rage previously if I remember correctly?

Hopefully they don't stick their own pundits and commentary on it.

GREAT news for the local talent!!! Delighted for them - big stage.

Chalmers really fúcked up by not finishing him off in the first round.

TerrorFirmer

I remember watching Corey Browning against Kimbo Jnr and thinking about how particularly bad his striking was, this was sort of the same, he had so much control in the 2nd round but his ground and pound was dismal, Chalmers was nearly delivering better shots from underneath. What does the fight tell us really - just that Chalmers isn't a very good fighter overall I suppose. Browning's fight against Kimbo Jnr. sort of revealed the same about that particular hype train.

He's a bum, first half decent fighter he goes up against and loses.

anyway huge deal for Bellator on Sky Sports, I wonder will this be the pre-cursor for Sky to go after the UFC if this does well for them.

ASOT

Ah lads Cro Cop looks better now than 20 years ago at the Bellator weigh ins :pac:

Daley looking jacked, buzzing for this card.

Whelo79

Karl Moore and Sinead Kavanagh have both pulled out of the Dublin card with injuries.
