I don't even mind the circus freak show at this point. Where's Level at? Have him fight broke arse Warren Sapp and make it a Dade County Special.

Gosh, Bellator used to be good, now they are pushing this crap. They will probably try to make it a PPV. I don't even know who the hell Dada5000 is.

Me neither and I don't feel like looking it up. Looked like a Kimbo wannabe in his photo.

Watch dawg fight on Netflix. It's a really well done documentary on the backyard fights in Dade county that produced kkmbo. Dada5000 was the organizer and event promoter for the fights.

It looks like Bellator MMA is trying to match up two former pro wrestling stars in a fight next year. Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle mentioned at Friday’s Bellator 145 event that he may step into the cage with Ken Shamrock should he win his fight against Royce Gracie at Bellator 149 in February.

“I’m not gonna tease everybody but there’s a possibility,” said Angle. “We’ll see… but I’m getting my feet wet here in Bellator and having a good time. I’m gonna sit back for once in my life, relax and watch and eventually I’ll make that decision.”

Angle has indicated that he won’t renew his TNA contract when it expires early next year. At 46 years old and with a history of serious injuries, it’s unlikely Angle will have a lengthy run inside the cage if he does choose to fight.

It used to be a respectable alternative. The last fight with shamrock and kimbo was when I stopped even bothering to pay it any attention

Well, I was pregnant then had a newborn last year, so I missed out on a lot.

Thankfully it seems.

This isn't mind blowing.

This is typical of Scott Coker

I can't take a promotion serious that pitted a 41 year old youtube brawler against a former champion at 51 years of age.

It was really a no win fight, Kimbo wouldn't get any credit for beating a 51 year old man, and Shamrock had nothing to gain beating a youtube brawler who professionally isn't really all that good to begin with.

Shamrock had a RNC sunk in with both hooks against a bum with no ground game and he got out. That shite was so staged it is not even funny.

Yeah that was fixed.

Royce is starting to look more like his dad helio.

Who actually takes this fight? And would bellator fix this fight? I don't see what the fighters nor the promotion would gain. I understand fixing kimbo and shamrock however.

Nobody talking about Fedor's comeback fight against 50 year old Asian dude who hasn't fought in a decade?

I have no clue. Neither of these guys have looked good since their early UFC days. I do think Bellator would fix it though, probably in Gracie's favor.

2.5 Mil guaranteed and a guaranteed win. Fedor made the right choice I think Spike is going to broadcast it live. Sakuraba and Aoki are fighting each other too.

It was initially reported that he was fighting some unknown (to me anyway) Japanese fighter. Now I am reading that he is going to have a 3rd fight withTsuyoshi Kohsaka. He gave Fedor the first loss of his career, a stoppage due to cuts. Fedor beat him in their second fight.
