Haven't watched main event yet but the gastellum fight was excellent, last two rounds particularly so!!

[Mansells Tash]

Adesanya shouldn't have been allowed to do the post fight presser, he was mentally all over the place in the interview.

Both main events were amazing!
I do wish if Adesanya is going to point the fingers at other fighters he would pick a camp himself, NZ or Nigeria, one minute he's throwing abuse at the Whittaker for turning his back on NZ for Oz then the next he's going on about how Nigerian he is when he grew up in NZ.

Khalil Rountree was impressive. Anders' leg took a real beating.

Really enjoyed that fight. Nice to hear 'ooh wee' in the octagon. His leg though

[Zarco]

Rountree was a beast in that fight.

This tickled me:

So.... Bellator 229, MVP etc.

Any ideas how to watch this legally in the UK? I can't find it on Ch5/Spike.

<cough> yeah that's what I meant </cough>

Sky Main Event by the looks of it.

Can't wait for namajunas fight tomorrow, should be a war, she is a special fighter but andrade looks very powerful!!

[Zarco]

Andrade looks like a man.

[DocJock]

I'm looking forward to the Aldo fight more than either of the co-mains.

[biggbn]

I reckon Silva and aldo get beat here?

[DocJock]

Well Silva is on a long losing streak...not so sure about Aldo, could go either way imo.

[Zarco]

Silva is looking a bit past it these days. Aldo getting his mojo back.

Tenner on the three away fighters in last three fights, nothing against Brazilians, just got a feeling it's not gonna work out for them. I am, however, usually wrong....

[DocJock]

Close, but no cigar

[biggbn]

Suicidal tactic from Rose. Much better in stand up, allow herself to be picked up because she has arm control. Naive beyond belief

[DocJock]

Aye, she had that fight in her pocket if she'd kept her distance.

[anonymous-user]

The Kamora tactic was working though

Until it wasn't

[Ridealong]

Anderson Silva hurt his right knee
After the fight is stopped, just about stands up, puts most of his weight on his left leg when moving around, but gets down on his knees (to do a kneeling bow) with Jared Cannonier.
