Bellator
 
Their first show on Spike Bellator 85 is Jan 17..

I have never watched a full Bellator show, cause I don;t have MTV 2 but I know it's tourney style.. This is the beginning of season 8.. I know alot of their fighters (even on this card) but don't really know much about it..

I am looking forward to their Spike shows though and hope the company does well..

Krimzon7 01-04-2013 06:58 PM

Oddly Enough Zuffa has nothing bad to say about them. Lorenzo Fertita seems content to let them be.

Kris P Lettus 01-04-2013 10:29 PM

After taking over WEC and Pride FC, Elite XC, Bodog Fights, and IFL all folded on their own and I think Dana White appreciates having some competition outside of Japan..

Also, it gives guys who "fizzle out" in the UFC a chance at redemption, which can only help out UFC in the long run.. They can just do what WCW did to ECW and take any talent they want..

Next Big Thing 01-04-2013 11:41 PM

I don't think it's about Dana appreciating the competition as much as it is him just not giving a fuck about them.

Strikeforce at least had an appealing roster with the likes of Overeem, Diaz, Barnett, Shields, Mendez, Fedor, Carano, Cung Le, Frank Shamrock, etc and Dana took his fair share of pot shots at the organization... partly because of how talent rich the organization was in my opinion. If Scott Coker had more of a backbone and made premier fights like Fedor/Overeem instead of allowing fighters to come and go as they please and dictate when/if they fought, Strikeforce probably would have emerged as the WCW to the UFC's WWE.

I'm pretty sure Arianny Celeste is more famous and recognizable than anyone on that Bellator roster and would probably draw a better rating sitting in her bathing suit. Maybe the move to Spike TV will help raise their profile, but until then, I don't think he gives two squirts of piss about Bellator.

from: Dave Meltzer mmafighting.com

In its fourth week on Spike, Bellator looks to have leveled out in the range of what it should expect to do from this point forward.

Thursday night's show, headlined by the Alexander Shlemenko vs. Maiquel Falcao match for the vacant middleweight title, did a 0.64 rating and 807,000 viewers. The viewership was up 14 percent from the previous week's 705,000.

The show did a 0.7 rating in Males 18-49, the best of the four episodes to date.

The positives about the number is it was drawn with a Brazilian against a Siberian in the main event, and of the five televised matches, only one featured an American fighter. While Shlemenko has been one of Bellator's top fighters since his arrival in 2010, he was never one of the key fighters promoted due to his only basic understanding of English. Perhaps most important, Bellator's number increased even though its lead-in, TNA Wrestling, dropped 11 percent to 1,412,000 viewers which was closer to that show's normal range after being above average for three weeks.

However, the Bellator replay dropped from 17 percent from 323,000 viewers the prior week to 268,000 viewers on Thursday.

After a month in, a show that may start out strong with first show publicity is usually at around its normalized level. Bellator is probably going to be in the 675,000 to 825,000 viewer level consistently on Spike, close to five times the viewers it previously had on MTV2.

Krimzon7 02-09-2013 11:28 PM

Kris P, is this considered bad news? I don't think so.

Kris P Lettus 02-09-2013 11:39 PM

No, it's good..

UFC needs another organisation to be relevant cause they can feed UFC younger new fighters.. It also seems like Bellator has a deep international outreach specially in Russia and Brazil.. Also, it's a good spot for UFC fighters in slumps to go a la Nate Marquart.. Bellator gets a named fighter while that fighter has a shot to make it back to UFC..

It should work out nicely..

Kris P Lettus 02-14-2013 11:04 PM

I remember when Brian Stann KO'ed him for the WEC LW Title and started celebrating before the ref stopped it..

Bryan Baker used to be in WEC and he was featured on the short lived TapOut reality show..

Did they Fuck up showing the brackets with baker winning before showing the fight lol

Kris P Lettus 02-21-2013 11:27 PM

Yeah

The commentator said they made a mistake..

Kris P Lettus 02-21-2013 11:35 PM

entertaining night of fights as usual

MoFo 02-22-2013 10:20 AM

lol King Mo

Hope Ballator sign Rampage so they can continue their beef, was funny as fuck

Next Big Thing 02-22-2013 10:48 AM

Mo vs. Rampage would probably do big ratings and I want to see that fight too. Mo getting KTFO is enough of a sacrifice to the MMA Gods to ensure that Rousey won't be upset by Carmouche.

Kris P Lettus 02-22-2013 12:38 PM

That argument that Rampage and Mo had in the 15 pass van when they were going to some MMA Elite event was mint..

"who you beat Mo?? Travif Wiuff?!?!"-Rampage

Droford 02-28-2013 11:24 PM

That fight shouldn't have needed 3 rounds..no idea how Fischer lasted it.

Kris P Lettus 02-28-2013 11:32 PM

Because Rickles isn't legit on the ground yet.. I only saw the 3rd round but, when he went deep for the kimura, he had the opportunity to also snag and inverted triangle that would have prolly ended the fight cause he would have had the arm in choke and his free arm locked up..

He also missed out on like a minutes worth of available armbar when Rickles had him mounted up high.. He didn't go for the arm till dude gave it to him to trey to switch to better his position..

Kris P Lettus 02-28-2013 11:35 PM

That prolly made no sense to you but I'm glad you have taken an interest in MMA..

Richman jut has to stay off the ground in the 3rd to win

Kris P Lettus 03-07-2013 11:27 PM

good fight

the brazilian should have kept his shot going in the 2nd cause he was light years ahead of richman on the ground

Why the hell is he crying

Kris P Lettus 03-08-2013 12:09 AM

Are you serious?? He was getting dominated for two and a half rounds of the biggest fight of his life and he ended up KOing the dude..

Huge comeback upset victory in the biggest competition of his life..

anyway, lol doug marshall kicked the kid with the pads in the face on live tv

Droford 03-08-2013 12:18 AM

I'll take Marshall in an upset..

Kris P Lettus 03-08-2013 12:26 AM

that wouldn't be the upset imo

marshal was the former wec 205 champ

this fight is at 185

Droford 03-08-2013 12:43 AM

Lol at Marshall right at the end

Droford 03-08-2013 12:47 AM

Ha..awesome called it

Droford 03-08-2013 12:49 AM

Lol he hit me like a little girl

Kris P Lettus 03-08-2013 12:51 AM

Kris P Lettus 03-08-2013 01:00 AM

Kris P Lettus 03-08-2013 01:22 AM

he gassed pretty bad in his last fight too but he was able to grind out the victory

Droford 03-08-2013 01:24 AM

Frodo/rich man should be good

Droford 03-21-2013 11:58 PM

Bellator nut shot championships lol

/back on the first fight

Nothing like getting booed after getting a knee square in the nuts

Droford 03-22-2013 12:11 AM

Jesus..that guy Page is awesome..10 seconds

Actually upon further review, the white guy was a huge wimp..just barely caught him.

Droford 03-22-2013 12:31 AM
