Bellator 220: MacDonald vs. Fitch

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

This is going to be a bad DAZN card( worse card on paper). The top two fights are just squished matchups, the two fights after that are going to be boring wrestling matches, and Bolanos fight is just not main card fight. The only reason they put him on the main card cheapness. Unless Liam McGeary somehow KO Phil Davis this card is going to suck.  The best thing about this card is that it is nowhere near as bad as UFC 237.
( I got annually subscription to Dazn. I expect better than this.)

Both main events are great. 

@hypetrainkiller Why you so salty? The card is pretty good for Bellator. 2 title fights a former UFC Champion and a fight between 2 top 25 Light Heavyweight. Not good enough for your $10 a month? Quit greetin about it or cancel your subscription. Problem solved 

I agree that Bellator could be better and ONE has or is very close to overtaking it as the no.2. I just don't get the point in moaning about a card, if you don't like don't watch it and if you do watch don't then moan & complain about it! I don't know, maybe I'm the wrong guy to be giving an opinion as I watch nearly everything I can from UFC to Alaska FC! Plus big boxing and the good UK domestic shows, even searched out streams for Fight Nights Global and Bareknuckle FC at the weekend! So yeah , my standards aren't too high! LOL! Sorry if I was a bit of a **** before @hypetrain

First, it is annual subscription so I can't cancel it right now, and Second you didn't debunk any of my points. I am not Bellator hater so chill brother.   I watch all there cards, so I can complain. Next month cards are a lot better.

@hypetrain  Honestly mate, I'm perfectly chill brother.  Did you not read my comment saying sorry for being a bit of a ****? As for debunking your points. Well I don't know what to say that will do that? I mean you stated your opinion, how can I debunk your opinion? I'll say my point and no matter what I say you'll still have your own opinion so there's that. But also you said at least the Bellator card is better than UFC237?!?! ***! So the Bellator card that you think sucks is better than the UFC title fight between 2 of the top 5 P4P women on the planet with a  co headliner featuring José Aldo, an all time great who is still at the top of his game vs a dangerous up n comer Volkanovski in a fight to decide who's next for Holloway. Then there's Anderson Silva the greatest to ever do it! OK he's at the end but for me anyway it is a privilege to see him fight.  But for you this card stinks worse than the Bellator card that you think also sucks?! I mean it's your opinion and like I said your entitled to it but I can't agree with you and I've gave you my reasons why, not to debunk you, just an opinion. Anyway, I've said enough so I'll shut up now. Hope you manage to enjoy the fights anyway or what's the point in watching?

You see what happens when you complain.  
 Also next Month Dazn card is probable the best Bellator card ever, or at least one of the best. 

San Diego vs. Laroco
Josh San Diego, TKO, R2
Hi im josua san diego guess where i am

Ya know, I kinda, reeaaally get the feels that Bellator is making its way out the door from paramount and moving into a more permanent foothold in DAZN. Cause honestly.... You won't see a televised Bellator card UNTIL June 22.. That's literally just under 2 months away. And in that time frame, I think they've got 5 cards scheduled.. Kinda crazy. 

MacDonald vs. Fitch
Jon Fitch, DEC
This fight.... it's driving me nuts and I'll explain. We all know Fitch's game. He's gonna ride his opponent, steal rounds, and win by decision. It's extremely boring to watch, but he's pretty goood at doing what he does, even at this stage in his career. Which is why I honestly kinda leaning towards Fitch. But at the same time, the dude is 41+ yrs old. Can he do that for a full 5 rounds? Can he do the Paul Daley fight reimagined with 2 extra rounds? And then there's Rory. I honestly believe that Robbie Lawler 2 fight, reeaaally changed Rory. Yesss, his nose exploded into a million pieces, of course it'll change you.... But I'm saying he hasn't fought the same AFTER that fight. .... I really dnt know here.

Macfarlane vs. Arteaga
Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, SUB, R1
Dear Bellator... Please please please find more, better talent at Flyweight to feed this monster. Ilima-Lei is gonna destroy Arteaga. If it goes past R1, I'd be shocked.

Henderson vs. Piccolotti
Benson Henderson, DEC
God. Another Ben Henderson fight. The dude annoys the piss outta me... He saves ALL HIS ENERGY,, puts on a boring fight, just to make sure he saves ALL HIS GAS TANK for AFTER the fight is done and over, so he has enough energy to talk about God and ramble on about a buncha dumb ********... How bout you cut the schtick annnd empty your gas tank DURING the fight and actually put on a goood show. I mean, that's what the fans paid for. Not to see your dumbass rambling post fight interview ********

Davis vs. McGeary II
Phil Davis, DEC
What thee ****, has McGeary done to earn this rematch?

Gozali vs. Crain
Aviv Gozali, SUB, R1
Well, can't say I've ever heard any other fighters with the last name Gozali, sooo I'm assuming Aviv is related to Haim?

Just to let you know Brad that Avi is Haims son! The only reason I know this is because they both fought a few months back when Bellator were in Israel! Was the 1st time a father and son fought on the same card for a major promotion. I think so anyway? It may have happened in Asia or Russia somewhere?! 

Nooo ****.. Really? Thanks Mikey, for that tidbit of info. That's crazy that both father and son, fought on the same card. I bet if Kimbo Slice didn't pass away when he did, Bellator surely woulda done a card with both Kimbo & Baby Slice tooo. Ya know, speaking of Kimbo..... It's a shame he passed, because BARE KNUCKLE woulda had a bona fide superstar in Kimbo Slice. That **** was made for him
