Bellator owns Saturday night.

Some decent main card match-ups to look forward to, but I don't think this one is going to majorly reverse the ratings trends for 2018.

Well on the one hand that was some pretty amateurish striking, and you can't fight against good fighters by trying to pull guard. On the other hand, that was some splendid submission game.

Danis clearly has a ways to go with his overall game, but he has the time to grow. With that nasty submission game to fall back on, he could be a top guy in a couple of years.

Chuck vs. Wanderlei was too late. Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was even worse. This fight makes those 2 look like prime matchups. Where's all the MMA media who are always pointing out every "lie" that comes out of Dana's mouth at now? But yeah, I'm still watching.

I loved Pride back in the day, but I dunno...these days Bellator's production is a bit much for me.

As kind of sad as these legends fights are, I still get tingly when Fedor is about to fight...

**** YES FEDOR!!

He’s got an easy path to the finals now, but he’s not beating Mitrione or Bader. Still rooting for him though!
