Deeper but Sean O'Malley is more interesting than any fight on this card imo

I am most interested in watching prospect Juliana Velasquez make her flyweight debut vs. fellow chinese prospect Na Liang. Also, I am really looking forward to see Mandel Nallo and Honeycutt vs. Lovato Jr.

That spinning elbow ko by Bolaños was sick.

I had that 29-28 for Galvao. However, neither of these guys is making a run or anything.

Why is Bellator advertising a university based in Southern New Hampshire in OKLAHOMA? On what planet does that make sense? Why wouldn't you advertise with a university from Oklahoma?

lets go Anger Fist

Thought Arlene got robbed last time. I expect Julia to win this time though.

2-1 budd in my opnion

Budd doing what she did last fight right now for the most part. Letting Arlene get shots off and try and strike . She's going for takedowns now though.

AndNew

Blencowe won this IMO. Not much happened. But she did enough to win for sure. Her takedown defense has improved immensely. You heard Budd Scared in her corner cause she was stuffing all her takedowns

yeah makes no sense

Now Arlene is 0-2 vs Budd both highly questionable decisions. Gonna take a while to get back to the title if Budd Hangs onto it.

@SlongKong I agree. Watching live their first fight I scored the fight for Budd 29-28. After, rewatching on youtube I scored the fight for Arlene. This time the judges how could they possibly give Budd three rounds? I know it was a dull fight, but these judges did a horrible job. I had this one 49-46 for Arlene. I would do a rematch or have Arlene fight one more time and if she wins have her challenge for the title again.
