It's funny, pretty much all SBG fighter except for maybe Artem, really seem to run with the whole McGregror technique(that he got from 'the secret") of thinking that if they 100% believe or conceive something that it will become reality. I can see why they all bought into that with McGregors rise, but I would have thought by now they would realise it doesn't actually work like that. The talent level in SBG is just not anywhere near world class, and clearly not even Bellator class anymore either. Kiefer is a right prick anyway so good riddance. His chances of fighting in the UFC are about the same as me getting with Jennifer Lawrence.

Petermc83 · 09-08-2021 11:24am

the lack of European cards has really hurt the guys who were signed up for Bellator. Is any of the irish based fighters still signed up? Gallagher is based in the states now.

and the days of mcgregor getting his team mates signed to the UFC are over, Ward was an absolute disaster.

your hope full

Homelander · 27-08-2021 12:43pm

Looking forward to that card actually. The main and co-main should be interesting.

qwabercd · 27-08-2021 4:37pm

Asking for a friend (genuinely not myself!), any idea on whether you'd need to be vaccinated to get into this?

No one knows really. Anything could happen between now and then but if they want to go they should get themselves vaccinated just in case.

LollipopJimmy · 01-10-2021 8:04am

London bound now for MVP v Lima. First event in some time, so excited!

01-10-2021 8:54pm

Never mind, found the answer :)

Enjoy Lollipop!

01-10-2021 10:05pm

That Luke Trainer looks a goodun. Only 25.

hawaii501 · 01-10-2021 10:08pm

That was some elbow to finish the fight

AlmightyCushion · 01-10-2021 10:11pm

Don't really follow Bellator. What has MVP been like since he lost. Commentators are making a big deal about his 5 fight win streak and how he said he has 11 ways to beat Lima. Has he improved much or has he just been crushing cans?

AlmightyCushion · 01-10-2021 10:31pm

Did any one else notice that the ginger lad who did all the eye pokes tatoos looks like a load of swastikas.

01-10-2021 10:59pm

This is a total mismatch. Leah McCourt boxing the ears off this wan.

Looking forward to seeing her against those ranked above her.

01-10-2021 11:19pm

@LollipopJimmy will ya tell MVP to get in the **** cage.

ERG89 · 01-10-2021 11:43pm

What an absolute joke of a decision

finglashoop · 01-10-2021 11:45pm

joke of a decision

eggy81 · 01-10-2021 11:46pm

That was a ridiculous decision.

01-10-2021 11:52pm

I had it just about 2-1 to MVP although I wouldn't have batted an eyelid if Lima had gotten the decision.

SM01 · 02-10-2021 1:03am

29-28 Lima for me.

That was a homer decision from the judges.

mdwexford · 02-10-2021 2:02am

Cmon now it was a very close fight.

I scored it R1 MVP, R2 MVP, R3 Lima.

Wouldn’t have been shocked it Lima got the decision but hard to call a winner either way.

weemcd · 03-10-2021 4:28pm

Bellator will always remain a distant second or third to UFC if they keep main events 3 rounds. Another 2 rounds of MVP v Lima would have been brilliant. Why do they do that?

Also solid but unspectacular win from Leah McCourt, if she didn't win that one she should have called it a day. I really like her as a person and as an ambassador for women in MMA and Irish MMA, but I couldn't see her beating any top ranked opponents either.

callaway92 · 03-10-2021 4:31pm

Really bugs me from MMA fans often doing the whole ‘absolute joke decision’ spiel. It was a tight fight.

The Nal · 03-10-2021 5:46pm

A lot of MMA fans are awful. I mean the kind of peope who like calling other people "casuals".

Theyre the kind of people who like to go on holiday in Dubai.

callaway92 · 03-10-2021 6:11pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117971402#Comment_117971402

Ugh ‘casuals’… the most unbearable insult

but1er · 05-10-2021 9:41am

No Roddy in Leah Mccourt corner. Has she moved on?

LollipopJimmy · 05-10-2021 4:25pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117978280#Comment_117978280

She may have given up the daily travel up and down had to be a PITA, especially as a single mum.

I thought Lima won but it was no way a robbery, very tight fight. The Venue was a shambles, worse than the point for coke consumption and they ran out of beer

but1er · 06-10-2021 7:08pm

Kavanagh Vs Cyborg confirmed Nov 12th. easy night for cyborg done within the first minute.

Pitbull has given up his title so its other pitbull vs queally for the belt in the 3arena. John Kavanagh in for a bad week

LollipopJimmy · 07-10-2021 11:13am

Sinead is on a decent run right now and is as tough as they come. I don't see your prediction ringing through.

Peter is on the back of a win against Pitbull. 2 fighters fighting for belts isn't a bad night.

callaway92 · 07-10-2021 12:51pm

How would Peter Queally stack up in the UFC WW Division out of interest? Have only seen him fight a few times and wasn't blown away by any means.

Tazzimus · 07-10-2021 1:43pm

I very much doubt he'd have a good time with any of the top 10 anyway.

Homelander · 07-10-2021 2:20pm

I like Sinead a lot but Cyborg is light years ahead of any competition she has faced.

Unless Cyborg has an awful night I cannot see any scenario where she doesn't knock her head off.

It is mad though. Imagine someone told you this time last year Sinead would be fighting Cyborg for the belt and Queally would be fighting Pitbull for the belt....in a rubber band match after Queally won the first.

From January 1st next year all Bellator main events will be 5 rounders.

LollipopJimmy · 10-10-2021 1:10pm

I'm from the same area as Sinead, in the coffee shop this morning listening to two aul ones talking about her upcoming fight. Whatever happens I'm delighted she's been given the chance to have a go at Cyborg. No doubt it's a tough night for her but still nice to see the locals get behind her. Sinead never stops, trains day in day out in and out of camp as well as being a single mum

Dtp1979 · 10-10-2021 8:22pm

When is the fight?

Asus X540L · 23-10-2021 7:15pm

Man Gareth A. Davies is insufferable.

No idea how he keeps getting on the telly.

Asus X540L · 23-10-2021 9:42pm

Wow Fedor looks like Homer Simpson but that was some combination.

weemcd · 24-10-2021 3:35pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118063641#Comment_118063641

I agree with you here 1 million percent. He's always been like this but he's actually getting worse.

She's definitely tough.

selassie · 01-11-2021 9:55am

Will the price of tickets be reduced on the day? Card looks decent but there's still a lot of tickets left. 60 quid the cheapest to sit at the back.

akelly02 · 02-11-2021 12:09pm

james gallagher in for a hard night from what ive seen of this other guy?

no 3 ranked this lad is , would be a great scalp for gallagher if he could pull it off

yourdeadwright · 02-11-2021 12:53pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118106153#Comment_118106153

Course he is Gallagher is a con job ,

Look at the rank of the guys he has beat recently ,

Bellator done a fantastic job milking Irish fans they built up total journey men like Gallagher & Crosbie to seem like legit future contenders or stars in MMA , the issues was eventually they would have to fight half decent lads and then the charade is over ,

It was a great business model while it lasted ,
