Friday night bellators are live

he fought early last month, so him fighting again tonight is normal timing. a lot of fighters fight this soon if they come out of a fight uninjured.

I believe there is a title fight too
I don't think I have ever seen him fight and I forgot to DVR this show.There seems to be quite a bit of hype surrounding Connor and I'm looking forward to seeing him in action.

he's not that great. he's just a star from wwe and that brings fans over to mma

if you survive his original onslaught he tires eventually. at that point one just needs to defend his take downs. easier said than done of course but guys with good cardio and good take down defense are a horrible matchup for him

I am loving the conor hype. the dude's great for the sport. some hate him, some love him. but I want him to succeed because mma needs that type of personality right now. he's proven he can talk with the best of em. he proved he can finish lower level fighters. he just finished his first top ten opponent.

I actually take back what I said about him getting the winner of tomorrow's main event. he is already slated to face Denis Siver. a veteran and seasoned striker but a great matchup for conor to continue building the hype.

he has yet to face an elite wrestler of that division as well as a top striker so we will see soon enough if the hype is real. I loved that he predicted he'd finish in the first round and go out and actually do it. when he predicted that against his last opponent people were calling him cocky as hell since that guy was known for being able to take punishment and keep up a mean pace for all 3 rounds. sure enough it took him little over two min to tko the guy.

"i don't just pick fights, I pick the rounds!"

I love it

here is a twitter exchange between ben askren and conor McGregor. askren is an undefeated wrestler who was bellator's champ and left, tried to sign with ufc but I think he wanted more money than they were willing to pay and he's been very outspoken about his butthurt toward the ufc and dana white. he takes every opportunity to troll and jab the ufc/dana. though a lot of the things he says is correct, he should shut up if he ever does wanna be a ufc fighter.

Ben Askren ‏@Benaskren
Giving @TheNotoriousMMA another easy tune up match against another non wrestler is a really smart move by the UFC!


Conor McGregor
‏@TheNotoriousMMA

cro cop actually took that line from a boxer. I don't know the name off the top of my head but it was a boxer that said left hook hospital, right hook cemetery. he either says "hook" or "hand"

Isn't it the other way around? I believe it's a reference to liver strikes.
