My UFC172 reaction post is still under construction, but in the meantime I’ll be enjoying Bellator’s first ever PPV event tonight. God only knows why.
I can see why Bellator wouldn’t want to call off their second attempt at a first PPV, but they probably should. If Chandler vs Alvarez wasn’t good enough to carry the first event on PPV, then why the fuck is Chandler vs Brooks worth paying for? My feeling is that they should have called off the Chandler fight altogether and moved the event to free TV again. Tito and Rampage are both on the card as well, although not in the same bout. Looks like we missed our window on that one.
Anyway, I’m going to be watching, but that’s just because I’m a big nostalgic softie what wants to see Rampage, Kongo, and King Mo get down. I’m also interested in seeing who walks away with the Heavyweight Title.
If you’re going to bet this event, put a flyer on Tito. With the odds at almost +400, the Bad Boy has just enough of a chance to make it worth it. I’ve never been a Tito Ortiz fan, but the man has enough of a legacy in the sport that I’d hate to see him pull a Brett Favre.
Recap coming after the event. Reaction to the Baltimore card still in the works.
Hands up, protect yourself, and enjoy the fights tonight.
