In Bellator 180, Fedor gets ktfo in the first round by Mitrione, who both knocked each other down with simultaneous punches, but Mitrione recovered quickest to land a sleeper shot on the downed Fedor.


Also at Bellator 180, boxing/wrestling/mma prodigy Aaron Pico (first teenager to ever qualify for freestyle wrestling olympic trials in 40 years), gets submitted by Zach Freeman (8-2) 24 seconds into the first!


Chael Sonnen defeats Wanderlei Silva by unanimous decision.

A good card for Bellator, but they had a lot riding on the poster child Pico who apparently no one wanted to fight in his first match.

I cant remember the last time I saw a double knockdown.
After seeing at 25% speed, I have no clue how Mitrione got enough into his right to knock down Fedor, muchless how he survived Fedor's right landing square as he threw it.

Freeman's uppercut in slow-mo is awesome too...brutal.

Actually missed the Bellator card. Worth a rewatch? I know the results, but due to being out of town I couldn't watch it live. Also, UFC Fight Night CHIESA VS LEE tonight. Currently on FS2.

Yeah, that stoppage was kind of bullshit, though I think Chiesa was going out soon after. Yamasaki has fucked up so many fights, how the fuck is he still employed.

Newcomer from WSOF, Justin Goethje, takes out #5 Michael Johnson in the 2nd round. There are still some full-fight vids on youtube. Pretty amazing to come from outside the ufc to instantly jump to top-five. Johnson rocked him in the first but he survived and applies so much pressure, he eventually caught Johnson and finished him with a knee against the cage. He'll be an exciting fighter to watch.

As entertaining of a fight as it was, Michael Johnson is massively overrated and overranked. I don't see Justin Gaethje being one of the best, but he will have some entertaining fights.

Nunes is out for tonight's ME, Whitaker, Romero now the ME.
Wtf, she was a crappy ME to begin with. No doubt it had something to do with a 'failed weight cut'...that's a bad f-up. Whitaker-Romero is going to be awesome tho, too bad it's a shallow card overall.

I like Nunes and her fighting style. I thought this was going to be a very good fight, especially considering how their last fought went. Sucks, but oh well. The co-main event was the people's main event anyway.

Apparently, JJ and Valentina wanted them to have JJ step in on short notice but the NAC nixed any last minute replacements as it was too close (2 hours or something until show start).

Nunes is out but was still cleared to fight by doctors.
The reports coming out are looking really BS. Like, the UFC is making shit up BS. TMZ is reporting "doctors found nothing wrong" with Nunes from "their sources" which sure as fuck ain't actual doctors or anyone that's examined Nunes. I imagine it is the UFC, as they have a deal with TMZ. From what I've seen, it sounds like she had a hard cut and hit complications regaining weight and possible some kind of sinus infection.

Also, the UFC is pumping hard social media BS concerning JJ stepping in. NAC already confirmed UFC has not even requested this AND even if they did, the rules forbid it anyway.

which might explain why they didn't bother to make a formal request, no?
