Yeah, he’s looking for a way out. The groin shot was real, but at this point its all theatre.

In good news, I DIDN’T lose my bet on Awad. But in bad news, we all lost for having to watch this Bellator card.

No doubt a knee to the Groin definitely will cause you pain and generally gives you some down time, but Saad Awad was definitely looking for a way out, because the knee he received wasn't thrown with great intensity... Personally, I think he thought he was fighting a losing battle... Especially trying to continue the fight he was being out muscled in, whilst Not being fully focused was a good reason to get out 🤔🥊👊👍

@free

Let someone hit you in the groin as hard as they can, and see how much it hurts you.

@tepid we literally use to do that as kids. And drunken stupidity and just testing out our gear.
 Look

and many of the groin shots in mma are completely faked being sold by the fighters reaction of pain. Some are real of course. We've all felt a real groin shot it's undeniable when it's real but most are faked.

@Tepid, look man I get that we aren’t the ones in there. But no way was that a legit debilitating nut shot.

The broadcast vs fight ratio on this card is aggravating 

About 3 minutes of action vs 2 hours of talking and commercials

I didn't think Teed would win a standup battle with Mowry, and he didn't. Wasn't the game plan for Teed to win that fight.

I think if a fighter is unable to continue after being fouled, it should be an automatic disqualification.

Well that’s 1-1-1 tonight for bets. I’m up half a unit right now, but the fate of my night depends on Bandejas I have three units on him to win 2.

Steve Mowry can definitely launch a big knee... You would have thought that Teed would have worked out a way to not keep taking that shot, cos eventually it was always gonna cause him damage... Mowry is growing into a decent Heavyweight with some promise... Needs to learn to relax a little and move his head off centre though... But a good performance against a tough, rugged opponent 🤔🥊👊👍
