I think this is a genuine third big-time US promotion. It was a pity that last season was generally Spanish-only, but even then the buzz around them and the highlights of some fights have really built up interest in the promotion. They always have good fights and the production is better than average for sure. They've got an excellent roster of lighter weight talent and a whole bunch of up-and-comers (which separates them from Strikeforce), the shows are frequent and I think the tournament format is proving to still be very popular.

Try last week's event also - that had some more good fights.

The Askren fight had me a bit choked, way to early to stop fight he had his head turned and only one side of neck was blocked off, i think it should be a no contest imo. Askren went on to say it was over and opponent should except defeat gracioulsy, i don`t agree with that. Other 3 fights were great just hate to see a fighter get shit end of stick, it looked really tight but who knows what woulda happened. Askren looked like a fish outta water on his feet and i don`t see him going past next round.

I like everything about bellator right now. The fighters are great, they are there to win and thats it! Bjorn Radne seems to know what hes doing.

This event was great and I am hoping for Huerta vs Imada in the finals
