@Swick You basically said what I was too hesitant to say XD  I just figured some of the people on here maybe use Sherdog too so I didn't want to offend them.  But in all honesty most not all of the people on there are pretty ignorant. In my opinion :)

Worst I've ever done on a Bellator card. It's a damn shame, I was going strong with about 75-80% on most of these cards.

Alexander Shlemenko is such a boss.  Just ridiculous.  How can you not love this man?

Did terrible on this event. Two heavy favorites lost. It's incomprehensible that, Nazare, a BJJ champion couldn't hip escape out of half guard.  Also what the hell was Bryan Baker thinking coming out the way he did. That was probably the most careless attempt at striking I have ever seen.

I don't think I even looked at the tale of the tape for Nazare/Kirwan and just picked Nazare!!! Anytime I don't award hunt is when the damn upsets happen!!!

@wolfman, that's just rediculous, but then again, to use the cliche, anything can happen in MMA
