I have not looked forward to working a Bellator so much, in quite a while. Main Card: Keri Melendez: good charisma, reminds me of a woman MMA force, starting in the old Strikeforce days Aaron Pico: explosive, great wrestling and striking, exceedingly polite young man Lima vs Koreslov: this is the bout i am most looking forward to seeing, out style "best out of 3". I am favoring Lima Rampage vs Wand: much more interesting than Chuck vs Tito, genuine dislike. Looking forward to chatting with both during WI's MacDonald vs. Mousasi. Hard to imagine Rory moving up a weight class against an unconventional Mousasi, but again, should be exciting.
Free TV, hard to beat. The undercard is loaded with local talent,which makes for a pumped up crowd.
And i get a warm up with Top Rank/ESPN boxing the night before in Oakland. This will be an excellent weekend.

Mousasi is a -250 favorite. That seems high. I have always like Mousasi but Rory can be a grinder and I don't know how comfortable Mousasi will be with that style. I think Mousasi is rightfully the favorite, but I guess before I looked I was thinking more like -190 or -200.

Rory has the ability to grind out a decision, but until I see him at MW, I think Gay should be a decent favourite.

Bellator continually puts on good cards.

He is definitely top 5 at BW if not better. Very impressive.

Rampage is 20 lbs heavier than Chubbylei.

Does Bellator test for roids?
That's one way they can one up the UFC. Let guys like Wand fight roided the fuck out.
Doesn't look like it though. Wand looked a little soft.
Good for Rampage. Him and Wand are two of my favorites. Felt good to see either one win....but at the same time I knew I was going to feel bad for the loser.

Wand's defense...still terrible. Funny how Page got tired every time he had Wand hurt. Still enjoyed the fight though.

I just tuned in at the start of this fight. WTF? Big John is a post fight interview guy now? When did that happened?

This one just seemed like both guys were exhausted and Wand got clipped first. I agree with bobo it could have kept going. Those were real soft punches, but Wand was gassed.

Didn't we used to talk shit about Rory for being a hipster? He looks normal now.

It was good to see Wand and Rampage showing respect after the fight.

Mousasi is so slick. Rory's nose will be eating jabs all night.

If you listened carefully last night you could hear the sound of Jasper's tears hitting the floor.

Rampage keeping it real.

It was a CSAC event, and all the athletes were tested. It was a fun card. The last 3 dark matches were very competitive too.

I read that CSAC is strict af and were contemplating doing a One FC type of hydration test. That's gonna mess up division if the athletic commissions follow suit. And I do find it funny that they have dark matches instead of making them fight in the under card.
