Predictions: 3 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 190 Points   |   Tied for 524th

205 title fight between McGeary and Ortiz headlines on the back of a one-night, four-man 205 tournament featuring King Mo, Phil Davis, Linton Vassell and Emanuel Newton.

There will be three Glory kickboxing fights in a separate ring in the same arena; two of those fights will feature Joe Schilling and Paul Daley. 

Pretty neat.

I tell myself I won't be going to the next big mma event that comes to the HP Pavilion because I dislike being around drunk *********s. That being said, I will probably still be going to this event.

If I don't see `The Barn Cat` Tamdan McCrory on Bellator 140 or 141 at least, I'm going to be pretty upset that they're holding back their biggest star.  The fans demand more Barn Cat!

They need McCrory for whenever they fill the vacancy on the middleweight title.

Judging from the posts on this thread I should maybe save this post for the 'Unpopular Opinions' thread, but whatever.

I really don't like the idea of having 2 separate fights going on at the same time. If I was there live, initially I would think it is an amazing concept, but I imagine that I would soon get tired of hearing half of stadium start to cheer over an amazing move in the kickboxing ring, but I was watching MMA. At times even when it is just 1 fight going on (or any live sporting event) and you blink or get distracted for a second, you could miss a great moment.

I am also curious on how they will broadcast this to people. Will they have a split screen? A constant switch between the two fights? If they have mentioned it, could someone please post a link? Because I haven't heard anything of the sort.

I don't know, to me it seems like a gimmick that will only last 1 event. However, I honestly hope I am wrong here and it turns into something amazing, because Bellator can really put on some good cards, it just seems that they often pull this type of one-hit wonders to try and stay relevant to the casual fan.

Have they said that they'll have fights going on at the same time?  I could see it sort of working if they alternated, but having both the MMA cage and the kickboxing ring in use at the same time would be stupid.  But then, Bellator is no stranger to stupid.

@psychicdeath I highly doubt they would have an MMA and Kickboxing fight going on at the same time.

I assume they would have either the ring or the cage active at any one time and not both, and that it's just the artist's conception that shows both being used at once.

But then I also assume that if an organization says a prelim stream will start at 7, it shouldn't start at 6:45 or 7:30, or if you have 6 prelims, you don't stream 4, wait a half hour, televise your main card, then do the two remaining prelims afterward without streaming them.  I would hope Coker is trying to fix Bellator, but they still do some stuff that makes me scratch my head.

@psychicdeath, if they were to alternate that would be alright, especially for the 4-man tournament. It would give them an ample amount of recovery time. However, this is all speculation, we will just have to wait and see what Coker does.
