did anyone watch bellator last night?

almost every fight on the card ended in a KO including king mo getting destroyed with a spinning back fist lol ( maybe he will learn now that he isnt roy jones jr or mayweather and needs to keep his hands up in MMA)

The UFC has apparently released Jon Fitch. Weird.......

I don't care to see him leave, but I think there are others that need to be cut along with him. If GSP didn't have the belt and lost a few he would be in Fitch's shoes....just think about it.

I missed it. I did see the highlight on Sportscenter this morning on King Mo.

No way, GSP sells way too many fights. GSP has the stand up skill to have exciting fights, but usually takes the safer route once he senses the slightest bit of trouble in a fight.

speedfreek 02-22-2013 02:56 PM

Indeed he does, but that is because he is champ and people remember the days leading up to the day he became champ. You take the belt away and and the fame that came with it he is in the same shoes as Fitch. I admit I still buy his fights, but I buy them to see him lose. He has become a decision machine. As GSP once said to a great fighter, " I am not impressed with your performance." To be honest I haven't been impressed with his in quite sometime. He fights not to lose, not to win. He doesn't want any of Johny Hendricks. That is who I have marked taking his title not Nick Diaz. Unless Nick can get passed his wanting to stand and box the whole time. GSP will run around like Condit did or lay on top of him to grind out a decision. Diaz has to instigate the fight and dictate each aspect. If not it's headed to a decision.

Think about this when was the last time GSP finished a fight?
( Click to show/hide )
It was UFC 94. His oppenent was BJ Penn. And it wasn't even a real finish. In the sense of a KO, TKO, or submission. The doctors stopped it after round 4 before going into round 5.

b1adesofcha0s 02-22-2013 03:20 PM

But the difference with GSP is that he doesn't do that because he has to, he does it because he wants to. I don't doubt that he can win fights standing up, but when he senses he's in trouble he goes back to what he's best at. He's a smart fighter and he doesn't want to risk losing the belt.

speedfreek 02-22-2013 03:25 PM

Just giving you a hard time. His last fight with Condit was actually a really good fight. But he will not shake his current image until he ends another fight in an exciting fashion. Maybe him hating Diaz will make him throw with bad intentions again. Or work extra hard at getting a submission instead of safely grinding it out to a decision.

b1adesofcha0s 02-22-2013 06:25 PM

Oh trust me I was right there with you before his last 2-3 fights. I think GSP is taking this fight personal so I think he will work for a finish and get it.

That was great. I'm mean who gets KO'd by a backfist. But the way Mo kept his hands down was retarded. I knew its was going to happen.

Going to a dinner meet tonight, hoping they have the fight on there :icon17:

I'm always on a media lockout because I don't watch the events until the day after. My wife usually works so we make it an event for Sunday.

I usually end up watching it on Sunday as well.

GaleForce 02-23-2013 01:22 PM

We still have 3 episodes of TUF to get caught up on, and we haven't even started watching Bellator... too busy for tv.

b1adesofcha0s 02-23-2013 01:24 PM

I haven't really ever watched Bellator, but looks like I probably should. Gotta put it on the DVR schedule.
