170lbs- Steve Montgomery (8-2) vs. Tony Sims (9-2)
I think Machida is probably going to get overpowered/ overwhelmed against Romero.
Some great fights so far in the prelims.
Next up:
170lbs- Leandro Silva (17-2-1) vs. Lewis Gonzalez (10-1)
Good fights so far on the prelims, even though I don’t know who these people are!
I got the Dragon in the main event.
A fight in Bellator last night got ruined by a knee on the ground, it’s way passed time to change that stupid rule.
Both prelims have been great so far!
Are knees on the ground illegal in Bellator as well?
Yup, unified rules, all MMA in the USA follows them (but I believe certain states are even more restrictive, ie no blows to the TOP on the head in Florida last I heard).
The only organization with better rules is One FC in Asia.

Forgot to mention, even with Sheldon Silver gone, the rat NY Assembly “ran out of time” to vote on legalizing MMA.
I saw that, it was really annoying.
That fighter really wussed out knowing he could not win IMO.
I want that rule changed as well.
I also heard that Bellator signed Josh Koshcheck. Looks like he got choked out of the UFC :O
I am definitely rooting for Machida. I always do, Shotokan was my first style I studied so I am very partial to him as a fighter.
His opponent seems like a beast though. I’m worried.
I just found out we get those on our cable service
Thank you for the post. I’m so tired of talking about GAY MARRIGE.
I could use a good boxing match right now.
Here I am sorry for being late.

Today I made some stir fry and having some cold 10% beers. Lagunitas Undercover. Kicking my ass =)
Next up:
145lbs- Hacran Dias (22-3-1) vs. Levan Makashvili (7-1)
LOL :D
Not surprising given that he’s lost 5 fights in a row.
UFC washout Cheick Kongo dominated Bellator talent Alexander Volkov to move to 5-2 in Bellator, and he’s 2.5 years older than Josh.
I hope he gets some wins, most people seem to think he should retire.
