Bates is a superior athlete, pushes a great pace, but his wildness scares me. He leaves himself so vulnerable. Maybe not against this guy but against a slightly better opponent.

Oh, that was a cool armbar transition. Dominant win for Bates and glad to see him get the finish where he should there.

Is it weird i only watch bellator prelims now cuz i refuse to pay for showtime? Way too many paywalls in MMA now a days. I miss the days of all UFC fight nights being on FS1/FS2 and Bellator being on Spike/Paramount.
