Bellator 90 (Thursday 2/21/13)

[danl08]

i know it wasnt a title fight but I expected Bjorns dumb ass to come into the cage and congratulate Newton on the mic

That would've been hard with him crying and all

Yes, I'm sure they were counting on Mo vs Babalu in the finals.

People always say that, that Bellator likely wishes Mo and Babalu won their fights, but the opposite is probably true. They had 2 of their own guys knock off two solid veterans which legitimizes their division.

I agree with Ash. Sure the money they were pouring into marketig Mo is gone but now they have a guy who beat the UFCs #10 LHW (Mousasi) in King Mo and a homegrown fighter who brutally KO'D Mo in Newton. Mo will be able to rebound and now they have at least 1 other notable LHW depending on what happens with Zayats/Newton. I know MMA math doesn't add up but in a way Bellator has shown that there isn't as large of a talent gap at 205 then previously thought.

[Ash]

Yeah, exactly. I mean, imagine if Babalu won the whole thing. Everybody already knows Babalu isn't the best. But Zayats? Definitely more of a question mark.
