Unless Vegh goes and KTFOs Wiuff, Wiuff is going to dominate. When I was at Bellator 72, Wiuff looked about 250 and solid...no fucking clue how he makes 205. On the other hand, Vegh is a tiny and even kind of flabby 205er who could easily make 185. Wiuff is going to take him down and put us to sleep for 15 minutes.

Vegh has good tdd and boxing. He also keeps his distance very well and fight smart. I think he can keep it on the feet and win a dec.

Anyone have thoughts on Nogueira/Galvao?

Gonna look at it tomorrow but I think Nogueira will take it in a close decision. If a decision prop comes out for this fight...I'm going to bet it if the line doesn't suck wee wee

Who did he show good tdd against? Only seen him fight Newton where it was all striking. He should have lost the decision as well. I was there and everyone in the arena flipped out at the decision...pretty loud boos

With champ Curran out, 'Pitbull' pulled from Bellator 73, Van Buren-Mucitelli to main card

bellator is done soon. They peaked in eary 2011. That was the only fight I was remotely interested in.

Newton clinched and tried taking him down 2-3 times but was unsuccessful. I think Vegh won that fight. Newton moved forward but Vegh landed the cleaner strikes. I dont know how good Newton's wrestling is though but Vegh's tdd looked good to me. Waiting for the odds on Bmaker, I like Vegh, Martinez, Uhrich, Brian Hall, Van Buren after watching a few youtube vids.

[poopoo333]

The odds are out on Bookmaker already

[poopoo333]

I'll probably be betting Noguiera and Wiuff.

[mike]

hmm.. are they going to have odds for the prelims also ? odds on Bmaker sux for the main card.

Oh, I didn't realize this fight was off.

I'm glad I didn't go now. Probably won't even watch.

So is Vegh now the true Bellator MW champ?
