Who you got?

[poopoo333]

• Two semifinal bouts and one tournament reserve bout will be contested over two five-minute rounds with a one-minute rest period. If any of the bouts are scored a draw, the bout is officially declared a draw, but the judges overseeing the fight will each cast a ballot on who they think should advance to the finals “by merit of his performance.”
• A minimum of 30 minutes will separate the end of the semis and the beginning of the finals
• The tournament final will be contested the same as a non-title fight, with three five-minute rounds and two one-minute rest periods. A draw will trigger the same process as the semifinals, only the fighter who gets the most votes will be declared the tournament’s winner.
• If a semifinal winner cannot advance due to injury, a “survivor” rule will put his opponent into the finals. If that opponent can’t advance, however, the winner of the tournament reserve bout will advance. To advance, all tournament participants need medical clearance.
• Fouls that end bouts will be addressed depending on whether the infraction was intentional or accidental. If an accidental foul renders the semifinal winner unable to continue, the uninjured fighter will advance, and the tournament reserve winner will remain on standby.
• If an intentional foul ends a semifinal bout, the fouling fighter will be disqualified and the fouled fighter will be “medically eliminated.” Then the tournament reserve winner will advance.
• If an accidental foul ends the finals before two rounds have been completed, the tournament is over without a winner. After two rounds, the bout gets judged on the completed rounds.
• Any additional circumstances not addressed by the rules will resolved by “the senior (CSAC) representative in conjunction with the Bellator regulatory affairs director.”

The bolded is a gambler's worst nightmare

[Luke]

^^^^Yeah,thats gay as hell. I can see either fight having both fighters do nothing for two rds.

[SPX]

Wait, what? Thomson is with Bellator now? The fuck?

[edman5555]

Wait, what? Thomson is with Bellator now? The fuck?

Yes, pay attention.

[poopoo333]

Yes, pay attention.

BOL!!!!

[Ludo]

What a strange performance by Mo. He looked scared every time he hurt Linton. And what is this bullshit the commentators are talking about "changes in the unified rules"?

[poopoo333]

I think Davis beats Mo.

But -300?

I like the over 2.5 rounds at -150

[poopoo333]

Is there any way this isn't a complete gong show?

Nope.

Mo wins. Davis wins.

Mo out.

Someone else in.

[zY|]

Carmont!

[zY|]

What a strange performance by Mo. He looked scared every time he hurt Linton. And what is this bullshit the commentators are talking about "changes in the unified rules"?

2 rounds I guess.

[Ludo]

Davis was going to win this no matter who he had to fight tonight. He made Carmot and Newton look like fucking amateurs, where Mo struggled with Newton not once, but twice.

Also, never let it be said that fighter bias is limited to Joe Rogan ever again. Jimmy was all over Mo's nuts during that fight with Linton. 10-8 first round? Bitch, please. When Mo wasn't throwing one big shot at a time he was getting tagged. While it was clear that Mo was getting the better of things, that was hardly an overly dominant performance worthy of a 10-8 score.

[Mr. IWS]

That was just a weird event to watch.

Anyone notice that old japanese dude had the death grip on Jimmy's hand when he announced Fedor?

[SPX]

I didn't get to catch this last night but just watched some highlights. It looks like Coker is really trying to do some interesting things with Bellator. That's cool, because the product was starting to grow stale.
