THis card is gonna be entertaining though

MVP said he'd be on it. Mike RIchman might be on it in his BW debut. if not this card then I'm pretty sure he's joe taimanglo's opponent for 126. There's a couple MI guys that could be on this Adam McDonough if he want's a quick turn around. Brandon Girtz is probably on it. Raph Butler. but Joe warren won't be. HIm vs Dantas shoulda headlined this.


The fight is a joke but Beltran is the only one that stepped up. The only other guy not tied up is Linton Vassell and I doubt he's ready or Bellator wants to make that fight yet. Although after he loses I hope Beltran sticks around cause for some reason I always wanted to see him vs Vegh. Their styles play so well into each other.

Newton coulda had a big fight Late October early November which is when tito and rampage are suppose to be fighting.(not each other just in general) (Jason Floyd said they are working on a huge November/October card) So we'll see how that plays out.

also

Both Shamir Garcia (6-0) and Ben Reiter 14-0 will face each other in a MW bout on this card. Should be a sick fight

@thiago as long as Newton is champion? No. Rampage doesn't wanna fight Newton. I'm sure the feeling is mutual, but I don't think I've heard Newton turn down this fight as strongly as Rampage has.

We haven't heard Newton turn down the fight as strongly as Rampage because we haven't heard him, period. Seriously, who the **** is getting excited for an interview of Emmanuel Newton?

I've never heard this guy's voice. Have you?

I saw a interview with Newton where he said he would fight Rampage if that's the fight Bellator wanted.

McGeary is coming for that belt, so it doesn't matter either way.

Who the hell pitched this fight as being a good idea?  Why not have Newton fight Attila Vegh in a rematch?  Wouldn't that make more sense?  And if they wanted to use an ex-UFC fighter to test Newton, why not put him up against Rampage, Bonnar, Ortiz, or even Sokoudjou? Bellator dropped the ball big time with this card.  Especially when they could have signed Anthony Johnson when he was still in WSOF and have him fight Newton for the belt.

I'm pretty sure they released Vegh when Coker took over.  He was disgruntled.

It's murky in my head, but something like Vegh earned a title shot in the tournament, but they gave the shot to someone else more popular and marketable, saying Vegh was injured.  Vegh said he was not injured and wasn't offered the fight. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, Bellator guys.

Well that's rather shady of Bellator to do to their former champion (if that is the case).  Then again, Bellator has a history of pulling shenanigans like this so I'm not totally surprised.  Still, that sucks for Vegh.

Imagine how bad Bellator will look if Beltran beats Newton?  Especially after releasing their ex champion in Attila Vegh?
