Fedor's team russian fighters taking over Bellator.

Those were some clean shots from Rowe for the TKO.
I hope Adesanya v Whittaker 2 is a good fight, amazing how Izzy beat him so quickly. Whittaker is incredibly skilled, and looked like he might be champ for a long time. Not many fights looked better on paper recently.
Can't watch tonight but hope Strickland gets his head knocked off.
My goodness who was that?
Chidi Njokuani
Some good prospects making their debut today.
This next one promise good stuff. Trizano Vs Dawudu.
How in the sweet blue hell is Smilin Sam still a UFC employee?
He has a gimmick (the smile), is generally likeable, and is a recognizable card filler for fight nights like tonight. That said, I think he's nearing the end of his run given that he never seems to win.
Strickland's jab is a thing of beauty.
He has an eerie confidence about him as if he's convinced no one can hit him
Disappointing from Hermansson. He fought scared for much of the fight. Both of these guys would get dispatched easily by Izzy, or even Whitaker.
That's what you get when you have Danny Trejo in your corner.
Strikland Vs Vettori next would be nice.
Agreed
They are friends and don't want to fight each other if possible
Kamaru Usman getting some work in on his wrestling game
Looks like he has some size on him, still very impressive. Wrestling sure looks funny.
Israel is so unlikable. There isn't a single moment when he's just relaxed and being a normal person, he's never not trying to show off.
How many here are going for Whittaker? I'm struggling to see what he could have possibly done since his last fight with Adesanya to bridge the gap. It wasn't a very competitive first fight and Whittaker is slightly older.
It would be a surprise for sure. That said, Izzy has been someone meh in his last two fights and 5 of his last 7 fights have gone to decision and Rob has only lost once since 2014, so anything can happen i suppose.
You might be right. The fight against Romero was a borefest. He had a good win against Costa, but lost against Jan, and then wasn't exceptionally dominant against Vettori in his last fight. Having said that I - like you - still think it's more likely than not that he'll win.
I see Israel’s boobie is back too. I think it’s suspect. The second time it has shown up before a big fight.
‘Smoking more weed’ in the build up to a fight doesn’t make any sense.

I'm rooting for Whittaker, but the question is how he will make up for his lack of mobility and range. I think he's better prepared than Vettori but Vettori really didn't had a chance to hurt Izzy.
I hope it won't be like Izzys last fight which was a snorefest. And let's see how Tai does.

It didn´t help they had to fight after Weili- Joanna, but that was still incredibly boring. Izzys fights are more often than not quite boring but that one takes the cake. Hopefully Knuckles can make it interesting at least.
That sounds permanent to me, and better for fans as Rogan is a characture of his old self these days. He doesn't even do hype well, he's just all over the place, can't predict what he'll go off about next.
I agree with Raoul and Beans. Bisping is simply a better commentator at this point. The bar isn't high when Rogan is the alternative, but Bisping - like DC - provides insight and breaks down fights in a way "hype commentators" like Rogan cannot. The latter barely seems to know what's happening in front of him these days. The sheer amount of mistakes in his commentary can make on cringe, and besides the fact that he's a household name, I can't see an argument to keep him commentating on the big events.
Aren't you going to miss the "OH HE'S HURT" when someone gets jabbed to the body?
And only when it's the fighter he is rooting against.
Apparently there’s a story coming out this weekend about Joe banging Onlyfan models.
I’m sure old Mickey Mouse has put their foot down
No
It was amusing at first, got tiresome later, and was beginning to get infuriating to listen to the further it went on.I'd be surprised if its permanent since Dana is a major backer of Rogans and will still be behind him if he wants to return. This week may have simply been a conversation between Ari Emmanuel and Dana to let him sit this one out until the drama fades. I would of course be delighted if I never see him on another UFC broadcast.
