Man, I really ******* dig this card. The entire main card is full of fun fights, but even the prelims. Neves/Parsons, Zwicker/Hassan, Juarez/Rainey, Taimanglo/Duarte, Bunch/Perez, Reiter/Radach. Great fights. Very excited.

By the way, Jesse Juarez who is taking on Ricky Rainey on the undercard did not fight Khusiev Khaliev on March 14th. He pulled out. His record stands at 22-9. Khaliev defeated Samuel Trindade by submission in the first round.

Pretty stacked card. Lots of name value and only 2 fights that I'm not interested in. Even the prelims are high quality. Hope this is a sign of things to come for Bellator. If only they could have more main card fights and quit with the postlims and dark matches, I'd be happy as a clam.

Bellator tells me that the deal is this: if Halsey wins, the belt is vacated. If Grove wins, he's the new champ. 5-round fight.

What an idiot. Talk all that ****, miss weight. Classic. Sincerely hope Grove kicks his ass. He probably won't, but good god, I can hope.

Danm, I had Richman ko'ing Dantes quick in the first round. To bad he couldn't drop the 2 lbs in 24 hours.

Pretty ridiculous for Halsey and Richman to both miss weight that badly. They may have screwed their own careers over as neither will do well by moving up a weight class.

Halsey's wrestling will likely be too much, but I wouldn't count out Grove.  Grove has a lot more experience, some dangerous strikes and good game off of his back that all could give Halsey problems.

I highly doubt Grove can beat Halsey but this is a weird situation...even if Halsey wins he loses.

Looking forward to seeing that loudmouth Jordon Parsons get beatdown.Oh wait,it's the prelim i'm looking forward to the most,i'm sure they won't show it.Last time didn't it start an hour later?Then they said the postlims were going to be aired and they showed like 1 or 2 of the 5 or 6 fights?Bellator.com says 7:45 start so i'll have it on at 6:30.I love Bellator but can't stand it at the same time,easily the most ******** organization.

Bellator is nuts if they don't show Parsons/Neves.  

I really want to see that 30-1.

Is Dantas/Richman happening? I know there was speculation as to whether it would happen since Richman missed weight.
