I think Hokit has the waaaaay better hands and way better boxing, Peter's striking with his hands is basically non existent and he reacts weirdly when he gets touched up, his standup is basically only comprised by kicks to the thigh

Peter usually has to turn to wrestling to beat his opponents but I think Hokit is good enough to stuff anything that comes his way and potentially outwrestle/outgrapple Peter

Mezzor picked Hockit? This is bad news.

Why do you do this to us man?

Ok from next card I am going to give you a list of all the fighters I am betting against. I will pay you $10 and can you please list them all as your picks.

I know it's a generous offer and $10 is a lot of money for you. But if you do that my bets are surefire winners and I will make millions.

Bellator really has no idea how to hype up one of their fighters without ****ting on their other fighters.

Hokit already lost his debut. I think he's pretty good though, probably better than some celebrity. But I never bet money on anything.

Hokit already got exposed in his debut, but he's not losing to a guy who hasn't fought in 3 years. He's 100% winning tonight

So he flashes bling. We all know this. Where's your proof he was intentionally under trained fighters? I don't believe it. Did he scam the bookies, very possibly. Good on him. But under training his own fighters? That's a serious accusation

Rah

That's what the promoter told me, that Krause would set up some of his fighters to lose by making sure they weren't prepared, while betting heavily against them through a third-party. He finally got caught doing exactly that with Minner.

I am really glad they are selling bellator. This is ridiculous coverage. 

First thing I would formally ask the new owners to do is get rid of Josh Thomson and Big John. Get some actual commentators on.
