Welp, 4 fighters missed weight, including Dufresne on the main card (has she ever made weight?) but otherwise we're set for a pretty solid Bellator card on a quiet weekend in terms of major MMA. 

The action kicks off Friday night. Prelims hit Spike.com around 7pm ET followed by the main card on Spike TV at 9pm. 

Enjoy!

So ... Carvalho was credited with 0 TDs and 0 strikes in round 1 ... won it on all three cards.

Carvalho landed kicks in rd. 1 I dont know how compustrike says he landed 0 in rd. 1. I had 48-47 Manhoef. Bad fight.
The 3 fights remaining you have the results in this account https://mobile.twitter.com/frontstfights
Noland won K1 rd. 1
Thometz won by DEC.
The women fight is taking place now.

That was one of the worst main cards I've ever seen, topped off with a horrible main event with awful judging. That was borderline on the level of something that could kill a promotion, it was so bad.

And I thought that Dan Charles 30-26 was bad ...

I got the last round cut off on the DVR despite recording way over timeslot.  The main event was garbage. From the first four rounds Melvin didn't deserve to win ****, neither did Carvelho for that matter. Melvin didn't really deserve to be in there in the first place. Anyway if he did somehow manage to get his hands on a title its not like he could hold on to it.
