...Just cracked my top 10.  I'm sure he's honored.

Seriously though, awesome knockout.  I gotta stop betting against this guy.

Tyson beat like a top 6 featherweight and then they give him like not even top 20.. I dont understand Joe silvas choice here. I think he should have made it Tyson vs Nunes. I wonder if they will find a replacement for manny. I was thinking Garcia but when is he ready?

After Warren loses (or wins, but that's probably unlikely) the BW tournament, he will fight Pitbull. Winner of that fight will fight Curran.

No, he's ok. I just don't think he'll beat Vila, and if he does I don't think he'll beat Galvao "again". Then I know he won't beat Pitbull, and that isn't distaste for Warren, it's just because I think Pitbull is that good.

No matter how I organize my rankings, I don't like the way they look.  I suck at this whole ranking thing.

Thanks, haha. Don't get me wrong, he could win the tournament, I just think Vila is a very tough fight, and Galvao beat him up pretty good in the first fight.

Technically.  I disagreed with the judging as did most of us (I think).

Yeah, I think everyone thought Galvao won. It was a very, very strange decision.

I like my list. Pat slid into 13 I think, just ahead of Warren. The only way he could move up anymore would be by beating Pitbull or getting into the UFC.

Curran deserves to be in top ten, in my opinion.

Just finished watching Bellator 48

Holy s*** was that a KO. In Bellator it seems to be that a great wrestler will beat a great striker...Even standing up :O And of all people, Curran is the one who KO's Sandro. Yeesh crazy sport we love

I actually was posting something on the forums right when the KO came, so when I heard my friends go "WOAH!" I looked up and there was Curran runnin around! I had to watch the replay! So glad Curran pullled out the win

@Kalibo As soon as Curran connected with the kick my eyes and Sandro flopped down my eyes went O_O and then I had my hands on my mouth while saying "No f***in way" and "oh s***".

I think it's one of the best KO's I've seen as this year since it was more brutal then a usual head kick KO. Sandro will bounce back though I think his chin has gone from good to decent now.

Sandro would be top 3 if he could just stop pulling a "Wandy" of the old days and control his striking.

I think Sandro needs to learn some defense. He's a striker with great offense but sub par defense. That usually works out for him, but he got caught really bad against Curran, and there are a lot of better strikers at 145 that could hit him harder. 

I think this loss probably will teach him that. I think and hope he'll come back better than ever. When Freire lost to Warren he came back better than ever, with his gas tank and wrestling improved. I hope Sandro improves as well as Freire did.
