True, but it's not like women's 145 is a packed division, she's mostly looked fantastic against the girls in invicta

Bellator this weekend.
Sonnen/Silva. Fedor/Mitrione. Lima/Larkin. Etc.
Boxer turned mma fighter Heather Hardy on the undercard, she's smoking hot.
Should be a fun card...

Do you know how much the card is?

Not too bad, but don't think I wanna pay for it.

Most of Bellators cards are just freakshow events imo. Way too many old, washed up fighters being matched up.

Anyone following the current TUF season?

I was rooting for Ramsay, but now he's out, I'd like to see either Dhiego Lima or Tom Gallicchio take it. But, I feel Jesse Taylor will probably take it. Krause could definitely take this too. But, Taylor's suffocating lay and prey style will most likely stifle anything anyone can do at this level.

A lot are. And that is what I think of this card. I would watch it if it were free. But Sonnen has nothing left as displayed in the Tito fight. And I really liked Wandy back in the day. But, seeing them both compete at this stage of their careers just depresses me.

I haven't been watching. I've seen a few clips though. I didn't recognise Taylor with his shaved head! Lol. How old is he now? It seems like he's been around a very long time.

Page being constantly matched up with cans is depressing aswell. He's talented but is just being wasted.

Lima, Gallicchio and Taylor have all come across well on the show. I think its a Lima/Taylor finale with Taylor taking it...

Joe 'Daddy' Stevenson is the oldest of the bunch, TUF2 alumni. Its been a fun show, Dillashaw has grown on me but anybody looks like a good guy next to Garbrandt...

He is. Crazy fornicator though. Not as crazy as he used to be though. Sucks for him that he acted like an ass and basically screwed his entire career for acting like an ass one night. Dana don't play!!!

It's disappointing. I liked Cody before this season. He's coming off as a real douche.

I think Cody has only got about 3 brain cells lol. Great talent but not the brightest. Excessively angry as well.

I've not watched the show but I liked Garbrandt. Didn't realise he was an angry asshole. I see him on instagram seems to be a happy guy, especially now he's married.

What's he been upto?

On the show Garbrandt has come off like a total nutcase. He grabbed TJ by the throat early in the season for saying something he didn't like, and he's flown off the handle a half dozen other times.

He's still livid about what TJ allegedly did to Faber. During the show Uriah seems like he
s acting that he's still upset. Everyone says Cody is a good dude, he just hates losing and TJ. A bit immature.

I've bought this PPV to try and redeem the rancid purchase last week. I think Lima/Larkin could be a war. Also looking forward to seeing Pico debut. Gangster/Legend, I'm in.

Yeah he's just excessively hot headed. Very good fighter though. To make Cruz look average takes some doing.

I do wish Bellator would put more effort into putting on great fights between their prospects and guys still in their prime versus a lot of the circus show type events they tend to put on. I can understand the latter to help sell the cards but the rest of the card should be better matchups in the way the UFC by and large do.

Who knows. He definitely doesn't come off very well, or very bright.
