This a pretty decent main and co main event for Bellator's first show in England.  I wonder if they will sign some of the talent from BAMMA like Diakese or Gahadza for this card.

I'm surprised, but also not surprised, that Kimbo has only been suspended for 90 days.

Speaks volume regarding Bellator's professionalism.

Bellator is using the old UFC scheme by saying they are regulated by the commissions. So if Texas is dumb enough to only go 90 days then why the hell wouldn't they book him? Couldn't you define professionalism as using a draw to get a lot of viewers and make a bunch of money because of it? This isn't any different than the UFC covering up TRT Vitor's results prior to nearly snapping JBJs elbow at UFC 152.

Ironically, it just happens to be overseas where they will most likely "self-regulate"

Phil Baroni is also lobbying to fight alex reid on this card for some reason. prob would be the best option. that's a fight i'd watch.

UFC fighters have a way of really half assing their careers once they are release. Francis Carmont is a guy to me that was always good enough to stay in the UFC at 185lbs despite him being a bit boring and I had him losing to Lorenz Larkin in their fight to be fair, still a lot of Middleweights in the UFC worse than Carmont is. But once he leaves the UFC, he doesn't want to keep cutting the weight to 185lbs, so he got TKO'd by Phil Davis and I have him losing to Linton Vassell in this fight too. He's just not a Light Heavyweight. 

We saw it with Paul Daley too once he left the UFC, getting knocked out by Nick Diaz in round 1, getting picked apart by Kazuo Misaki standing in Strikeforce. All the times he missed weight. They just seem to by nature think they are so much better than people outside the UFC since they've been in the UFC before that they train half assed.

Feels like a bit of a generalization, and Daley was a one-dimensional weight cut failer before and while he was in the UFC too.

So MVP pulled out of their first fight due to an "undisclosed injury" and now he posts that video (saying he'll fight him even if he breaks all his **** - which he already didn't do) after he knows Gonzalez can't fight in London due to Visa issues???
