Shahbulat Shamhalaev has a weird fucking name. Also, he is a striker and has some other those meaningless champion credentials in other countries. Rad Martinez is a NCAA Division I wrestler and a decent overall fighter. Shamhalaev likes to counter from what I have seen, so Martinez might be in some trouble if he has to get aggressive and go inside to work for the takedown. However...I think Martinez wins and is a rightful favorite. Curious to see the line.

Poor Chase Beebe . . . used to be the WEC champ . . . now buried DEEP on a Bellator undercard.

Shahbulat Shamhalaev

Love his work in Sixth sense and Unbreakable

[poopoo333]

Marx will probably win too.

I'm going to this shit tonight. In the off-chance that you see a dude in a yellow hoodie, it might be me.

[BIGDAY]

Rad Martinez...


However, I'm known to have a wrestler bias.. Lol

[edman5555]

Thinking about a lima/saunders parlay.

[poopoo333]

Marx will probably win too.

Holla back, nigga.

A few thoughts. . .

1. A friend of mine who was watching at home says he definitely thinks he saw me in the crowd. I need to download that shit and check it out.

2. LOLOLOL @ King Mo! I was sitting there telling my friend that the line on Mo was -1100 and that it would be amazing is Newton wins and then Newton knocked him the fuck out. You know Bjorn is pissed.

3. There's definitely a different look and feel to the whole thing when you're there. It was cool, though. I'd go again. But I also got the sense of how small Bellator really is, even though they're like the 2nd most important MMA org in the world right now. Like half of the arena was curtained off and even the half that was actively being used was only about half full.

[edman5555]

wow. lawal out cold. So much for super favorites. Newtons record was not bad...I am suprised but at the outcome but I guess we shouldn't be shocked.

[MMA_scientist]

Just watched the Mo fight. These guys will never learn. You are fighting another 200 pound man that is a professional fighter. You should probably be at least a little bit concerned about the fight, maybe put your hands up.

[edman5555]

Yeah I know. It keeps happening. I almost bet mo last night. Between him and overeem I would have been pissed.

[MMA_scientist]

Yeah I know. It keeps happening. I almost bet mo last night. Between him and overeem I would have been pissed.

It has only happened to me one time, Rich Clementi vs a no name in Bellator. I was super pissed. If I had Overeem, I would have been insane with rage. It is one thing to do it at 155, you dont stand in front of a 280 pound man and beg him to punch you in the face. These guys all think they are Roy Jones Jr. after a couple KO's. Overeem is not particularly fast and neither is Mo... I have no idea why they box with their hands down. I guess they think it looks cool.

[edman5555]

Aaron Derrow. I had like 12u on Clementi. Same shit, I'll never forget. I guess I just have to learn my lesson. Don't bet big on Heavyweights. Also I wont bother taking Mo lawal as a 12 to 1 favorite. As I saw this I am thinking about taking Ronda Rousey. God I suck.

[poopoo333]

Rousey is smart, she won't fight like a moron.

[edman5555]

Yes. I put .33u on her by tko/ko.
