That "brawl" was waaaaaaaay too WWE though. It was just silly. Justin McCully in a halloween costume is where I draw the line.

What's the point of Brooks/Chandler 2..? Chandler is the Frankie Edgar of Bellator. So many rematches

@Huiop532 Well considering how this card is on the same night as a big UFC PPV, I think Coker is trying to show that Bellator can compete with them while having a card on Spike TV.  So that is why, at least from what I see, they are putting Brooks/Chandler 2 on the same card as Bonner/Ortiz.  Hopefully they can add some other big fights to the card if they are really serious about going head to head against the UFC.

A couple of thoughts on this head to head thing:

1) They're really only going head-to-head with the UFC 180 prelims on FS1, which will likely run from 8 to 10pm. 

2) Bellator doesn't need to beat the UFC's ratings; in fact, I've seen several prominent media members suggesting Bellator may be making a good decision to go on the same night as major UFC cards. MMA fans are all over social media (and Tapology) than they would be with a Bellator event alone. Ride the coattails.

@MikeLovesTacos  Pride did similar ******** back in the day when they told fighters to call out other fighters to promote fights, even though they didn't want to.  But yeah, that ******** skit was atrocious.  And what makes it even worse is that Bonnar's actually defending it and saying it was 100% real.  SMH.

They would be really dumb to not save Lima/Daley for a main event.. Or at the very least a co-main event.

They're going balls to the wall to try to steal UFC 180 viewers, and I think it's going to work. Especially if the rest of the card is anywhere near this level. There's only 3 fights announced for UFC 180 I care about, and out of the 4 fights Bellator has announced for this card I'm interested in all of them other than the King Mo fight.

They're really making JOE SCHILLING vs MANHOEF !?  

I don't know exactly what to make of it, but I'm smiling at the mere thought of that fight.

They're probably giving him an easy fight because he is going to be fighting in 2 K-1 fights 12 days from now and he is rumored to be fighting a big fight in KSW later this year.

Bonnar cannot look tough not matter how hard he tries. That is why I cannot take this matchup seriously.

Undercard released. 

Very weak, but the main card is fun.

I saw the Joe Schilling matchup and thought,"hmmmm, This guy must be an upcoming prospect or something", and then i looked at his record. Then i laughed.

And then you realized that he's one of the baddest kickboxers on the planet.. with one more submission win on his resume than Melvin Manhoef.
