Bellator 141: Guillard vs. Girtz Discussion Thread

Fighters are weighed in and we're set for a solid night of Bellator action. 

Seeing reports that the Spike.com prelims may not air until 745pm ET. Either way, looks like we'll have a ton of postlims following the main event. 

We shall see. 

Bellator is much worse than it was but that's just my opinion. 

I usually watch all of their events but forgot about this one. That was partly because the main event did not catch my eye.

Yeah I completely forgot this card was happening.  The only reason I knew it happened is because my DVR is set to record Bellator automatically.  Now that I watched it I wish my DVR didn't auto record this event I could has missed it and been content. What a waste this event was. None of those fights were really any good. Coenen had a showcase fight and didn't really impress, at least me. The Wren fight looked like both guys hadn't trained in 5 years. The Patricky fight Was hyped as a grudge match and neither guy who are both known for big power brought it. Gillard continued his slide into irrelevancy. I even forgot to do picks for this event. 

Tito interview saved the show IMO. Raining havoc on faces. 

Tito referred to himself in the third person...sort of like The Rock if he were dyslexic and possibly slightly ********.

Couldn't let my hands go because I Broke my right hand in the middle of the 1st round. 30-27 seriously? SMH

Such a shame could have been a better fight

Wow, so the main and co-main both had fighters breaking hands...bad luck on a card that was already mediocre on paper

@Pillory Yeah Guillard broke his on the second according to his coaches, but It's not like he landed a lot of punches in the first round. I think he landed a total 3 strikes in the first 7 minutes of the fight.
