@Kyle I seriously question if Yoel can make weight, actually be a good fight though. Yoel wins, but it'd be cool to see.

I ****** up with picking Polizzi since I based that off of Romero looking terrible against Davis.

I'm late but wow, the french fighters really impressed me tonight. So many great KO's ! And Ex UFC fighter Thibaut Gouti (who was robbed vs Sage Northcutt) is looking really good, happy for him.

And that Romero performance was so good, haha ! I know he could have finished the fight a bunch of time, but hey he was in total control, never in anay danger, and despite his stauesque style, that wasn't boring at all.

Now let's see if Kongo can use his insane reach in French mojo against Bader for a crazy upset !!!

Good job Bellator

This is a big arena and looks sold out. 

also side note with Bellator's European expansion surprised they haven't done an Amsterdam show considering they have a Dutch champion and other decent dutch fighters

Kongo: " what he did in our first fight was illegal and disgraceful"

Also Kongo: round 1 fence grab and fakes a groin shot.
