    If you're Stipe you would have to be thinking about looking at your options. Deserved a rematch but gets passed over by Lewis because the latter is comedy value with a ko punch.

    Lots of top guys are getting treated like mid carders due to not being wwe characters.

    Yep.

    Hopefully the circus will leave town in 2019 and we can get back to a consistency of barnstorming fights.

    In fairness to Lewis, he deserves a shot. Never ducked a fight.

        Was anyone else watching Bellator 208 Live just now on Ch 55 Sport Pop-up 1?? Coverage just stopped all of a sudden just before the main event (Fedor vs Chael Sonnen) and they went to India vs the Windies cricket...far out

          Fedor could fully go to the UFC right now and probably give anyone in the HW division a good go. Fuck I hope Sonnen retires.

            Adesanya passes another test with ease.

            Some huge fights coming for him against fighters in the top five. I'm hoping hoping for a New Zealandish title fight with Whittaker in a year or so

                Great card top to bottom.

                Had Brunson. Thought his strength would be too much.

                Happily proved wrong.

                Frevola fight was magic.

                  Another good card over the weekend

                  As expected Yair Rodriguez vs the Korean Zombie had some great striking. Then there was a crazy finish. This KO happened at 24.59 of a 25 minute fight. Yes, KZ was lunging forward recklessly but that's an incredible elbow

                  It was a close fight but I had KZ edging it if it lasted one second longer

                      Dos Anjos owned by Usman.

                      And JDS won one for the old fellas watching.

                      Reminded me of Saturday nights growing up when the latest young Turk would come up to Aberdare to take on one of the Silverbacks.

                      And go home smarting.

                        Adelaide was a bit of a shocker for the local fighters. 4 losses in a row to finish the night. I hope we don't see Hunt fight again.. he looked frustrated his 44year old body couldn't do what it used to

                        Kai Kara-France looked good on debut, he's exactly what the 125 division needs. City Kickboxing has had an incredible year

                            Well, Dan Hookers winning streak is over. His leg got beaten up in the first round, mobility was compromised and then he took a lot of damage

                            Some of the body shots were brutal

                            Strangely Hooker seems to have a bigger profile among mma fans after this loss. A great chin and his toughness borders on stupidity

                              Impressive resilience though. Hence the respect.

                              Deserved win for Iaquinta.

                                  Go Gustafsson.. but I would have been saying that anyway

                                  It's bullshit how they treated fans who were turning up in Vegas.. and yes, the UFC treat Jones differently than anyone else. They would have lost a few fans moving the fight like this.

                                  Jones should be paying the cost of fighters going from Nevada taxes to California taxes

                                  Would USADA lie for a UFC event? I find that hard to believe. But their credibility has taken a huge hit. It seems like they are making it up as they go

                                  It will still be a fun event. Hoping for a Nunes upset too

                                    Would love to see Jones sparked out and finally put to bed.

                                      Having seen people coming from as far as Australia to watch this in Vegas it's criminal how they have treated their fans.

                                          Not a fan of UFC at all, but developed a degree of begrudging respect after listening to the 30 for 30 podcast on UFC 1.

                                          Seems it morphed into a different beast than the original vision, but I kind of get the motivation now.

                                          (Still won't / can't bear to watch though. )
