Bellator 87 (Thursday 1/31/13)

[BulldogWrestler]

This is a prime example of why Bellator cannot succeed (not that I don't want them to, they just can't).

Bellator has like 6 or 7 names in total that someone might recognize (and it's even a stretch then).

So the VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST majority of their shows are going to be "nobody vs nobody" (name-wise).

While this is good for free TV - they won't sell a PPV doing that.

I thought there were no elbows in the tournament fights?

[split decision]

Hello?? Anybody watching tonight? Cbear, did you forget to tune in again? What about your medication, did you remember to take that?

Controversial tap/no tap in that fight. I would have liked to see loser guy tap one more time. He was writhing in pain and it made it hard to tell if he meant to tap or was just squirming.

Hey dan. I see you're here now. I'm just tuning in. Didn't catch any elbows.

In the last fight: the cut on his scalp was from 3 different elbow strikes while they were on the ground.

Yeah he laid homeboy open with a couple elbows. I think dans call was good if a hair to early. Guy was tapping for sure.

[danl08]

I think that was a good call. My son and I were both screaming, "he tapped he tapped"

[split decision]

Yeah he laid homeboy open with a couple elbows. I think dans call was good if a hair to early. Guy was tapping for sure.

I just would have liked to see it go another second or two to make it conclusive. It was a heel hook after all, so another second or two wouldn't have been too dangerous.

Rooting for Will here. Nice story

totally a verbal submission.A scream of pain is the same as a tap.
