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.

Question is can Fedor do well and hold up when he has to face a real challenge?

I actually disagree that Fedor has no shot against bader. He could.very well.win that given bader tends.to get wrecked by hard punchers with good.counters.

@Fishrat - I do agree with that. He definitely has a better shot against Bader than he does Mitrione.

I love how oblivious to Chael's trash talk Fedor looked. He just went there and friendly shook his hand.

also, war Fedor.

Mir, rushed him, hands low, swinging from the hip, and asking for that shot to his chin.

Having rewatched the replay it appears Fedor clipped him on or behind the ear and wrecked his equilibrium, then the left hook found his chin as he leant downward.

There you go kids...always finish your combinations!!

Fedor looked wild and sloppy, Mir slow and sloppy - both looked retired.
