I'll say, the whole card was real good. the PPV was worth the $50. I've paid that for a lot worse UFC cards. One never knows how good any fight will ever be.
Bellator has stepped up their game. Which is good for the fighters, they need more options than the UFC for earning a living. I told that to Cub Swanson yesterday when I saw him and Bisping at their new 18,000 square foot gym they opened in Costa Mesa, CA.
Mofo, as you said the production and announcers are really good, I agree. Great to have Goldie back and see Stitch there, too. I even like the sponsor adverts, knowing that these fighters get some more income they are capable of earning on their own.
The women's fly-weight fight was fun, a lot of respect to both of them. Soccer mom form Texas once weighed 200 pounds. The New York two division boxing champion had some hype, but delivered. There is an online interview where she says she is in MMA to get paid, that even though she holds two boxing belts Bellator will pay her more for this fight than she ever got in boxing, At the end of the interview she is asked about Conor / Mayweather, her answer is funny, as she is laughing through it.
I watched the LFA 14 on Friday, another good card. I had to sigh up for SLIng TV to get the AXS channel, (I need to cancel, before they bill me) Sage's litter sister had her debut, they had Sage in booth for the fight. Kind of sad, she got choked out.
They said her hype-train got derailed. Sage responded that it was only one fight. I think the haters need to back off of that family. They do not seem to have a mean bone in their body. Why keep beating up on the Flanders.
