Nice business move Bellator have a dud main event in Paris, killing interest mma in France before the UFC go there later this year.

UFC glad they didnt book Blaydes vs Gane and run the risk of this happening again

Bader SUCKS!!!!!!!!

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 465 Points   |   Tied for 332nd

1 of the things that I dislike about MMA. 
Certain guys have mastered how to win fights without fighting!!! 
Bader wraps his arms around Kongo waist, hangs onto the back, hides his head and that is sufficient to win a "fight" 50-45.

I wonder if this is what Bruce Lee meant when he talked about mastering the art of fighting without fighting? 

I doubt it! Haha 

Jeezus christ! Horrible

One of the most boring fights I’ve ever witnessed and that’s honestly saying something, if it was a 3 rounder it’d be manageable but 5 rounds of that was basically a death sentence 

"Ohhhh he’s hurt!!!"

I'm going to pretend this card wasn't real. Bak should've never gotten that nod too so I should have an even worse pick rate for this event.

I can't think of a 5 round fight that had as little damage as the one we just watched and it was a heavyweight fight. bader vs vassel probably headlines Bellator's next UK show. Unless Coker wants him to fight Fedor (could see that one happening in japan)
