Look at Velazquez's face, not a scratch!!!!!! All respect to Carmouche but how can you stop that just because a couple short elbows got thrown that didn't do damage.

Come onnnnn Beltran! Stopping it after 5 soft elbows in a 2-2 (arguably 3-1 for Velasquez) championship bout? smh that felt rigged. I feel for Juliana Velasquez

That was only 3 unanswered strikes in the crucifix, if you're being generous. Ridiculous

BELLATOR IS CORRUPT

Predictions: 5 of 8 Winners, 2 Perfect, 315 Points | Tied for 275th

This is starting to become a theme for Bellator, premature stoppages for fighters you would assume they want to win (& I'm sure they benefit financially with betting) . This week we had Carmouche and last week with the Fortune fight being ended early, scary part is these are some of the top tier refs making these stoppages but I truly believe it is not coincidences..

Man. Might be done w/ Bellator for a minute after that BS stoppage. In a championship fight, no less.

Of all the Bellator gaffes the last two weekends. Forget the McKee/Pitbull decision (however you had it), forget Nemkov/Anderson's debacle, and forget the Beltran special tonight... And even forget Koa Cooper's rookie mistake.

Tim Johnson is my winner. He has Linton No Eyebrows Vissell on wobbly feet falling to his ass. Here are his choices:

A.) Quickly run over and punch him out with one shot
B.) Throw an elbow that will knock him out with one shot
C.) Throw an illegal knee or kick to his face which will knock him out and disqualify him
D.) Dive into Vassell's guard face first, clashing foreheads which the ref will either not see or let go, and then get reversed/punched out from the bottom.

The refs the last two weekends would not have allowed that. They almost had a bad DQ if it wasn't for Herzog tonight. They would have had Johnson stand back to allow Vassell the opportunity to regather himself so he could get back up and reset the fight standing.

Feeling dirty

Predictions: 5 of 8 Winners, 2 Perfect, 315 Points | Tied for 275th

Night all feel so bad for Velasquez although that stoppage benefited me with the pick losing any fight let alone your championship and undefeated record over a premature stoppage is horrible. Hopefully they rematch, had it 2-2 (if the 4th ended with Carmouche still on top) heading into the 5th so it's not like Carmouche was out of her depth but that stoppage was horrible! Does feel like with the PFL and now Bellator shenanigans as of late there are some dark forces high up in orgs outside of the UFC (except when Conor fights)

What an amazing crucifix finish by the new champ! Amazing victory. Really imposed her will and earned a impressive stoppage. Congrats to champion Liz Carmouche!

Tbh it because it women MMA, the refs don’t like seeing women get hurt, women MMA fight get stop earlier then men MMA, Didn't see the fight, Just talking about a trend I notice

Also how bad was the stoppage???, Should the fight be overturn if it too early
