Appreciate

[@Ggg99121]

Not all hero’s wear capes 👍

[@df5826]

The ref REALLY should have stopped the Romero fight after that knock down near the end of round 2. It would have been a clean stoppage and he should have saved the fighter the additional punishment.

[@maddoxwilson76]

I see where you are coming from but Yoel should've just finished him then instead of standing there lol

[@MoveForwardMMA]

Yoel makes me so annoyed, his finishing instinct is weird

[@ozzee5094]

@@MoveForwardMMA Yoel loves playing with his food 😂😂😂. He wanted to just keep on dropping this guy without ending the fight

[@jacobzaranik1099]

wow yoel looked amazing, played with his prey the whole time, could of got a finish early on but wanted to stalk his prey, keeping his 3rd round finishes

[@PiagetMartelino]

amazing? he had so many chances to finish but fought like it was sparring...

[@Brandon-tk2rw]

14-6 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Tormentality]

I agree Yoel looked very amazing but also at the same time he couldn't even finish his work. For a very strong dude, that was very weak.

[@jacobzaranik1099]

@@Tormentality after yoel rocked him the first time he could of easily ko'd him, but it was more to make a statement not a quick finish

[@Tormentality]

@@jacobzaranik1099 I can see that. Yoel is a straight beast

[@Nebul3r]

bader vs kongo = hugging contest

After the pure smashing fun that yoel showed us the Bader performance felt even duller then usual . Yet both fights where equally 1 sided .....

Absolute wrestling clinic put on Kongo. Great job Ryan.

[@kikyqba1005]

Man Yoel Romero seems to be getting better, crazy how he controlled the whole fight, let's go PINGAAAA 👊

[@kikyqba1005]

@@tylermarchbank5865 bro for sure that's a factor what i mean is he's also controlling his pase better, he's scoring takedowns and he's not killing himself going down to 185

[@ianmansfield8245]

He did well, but he has definitely lost a step in terms of speed and explosiveness. I love Yoel, and he is still awesome, but he is not the same man that demolished Weidman or Rockhold

[@Broxty]

Trash opponents make anyone look amazing....

[@dannyl-p1543]

Wow I have to say Romero looked a bit slow but holy he was levels ahead technically. Still so impressed by his performance

[@calvindevries]

romero is known for his kind of slow roll in fights

[@dannyl-p1543]

@@calvindevries I know that, I meant more of his punches looked slow but what do I know, he knocked the dude down like four times, he was maybe just waiting for the right opportunities

Beltran lets Polizzi take a beating of a lifetime, but handed Carmouche the belt after inflicting almost zero damage.

[@alpe6228]

Because he had money on Liz'' henry the bigfoot'' Carmouche.

[@tommychong9113]

Too bad mike Beltran was reffing those fights not a judge in them. he just puts the belt on whoever the judges say won not his fault

[@geovannysanchezfuentes1192]

Romero una leyenda

[@musicman9901]

Yo Bellator, appreciate the fights but what is up with the resolution and frame rate? Even at the highest settings, things are still noticeably fuzzy and choppy.

[@kevinthomas5035]

Maybe clean your glasses

[@dawnofthedave5072]

felt like yoel did not want to hurt that 1 guy last round he was just playing with him not striking until the end where he pounced on him

[@rainmaker3274]

I never know about bellator events until after they happen, literally 90% of the time!!!

Thanks again bellator .

Best fight ever!

1:22:45 lightning fast sprawl

[@tommyshelby4803]

the bell rang at the end of the 3rd that wasn't a stoppage. unanimous for yoel no doubt but not a stoppage

[@sikcobra]

Damn! It was like SOG waited to the last second to prove a point. Still amazing.

[@jordanfrancisco27]

Yessir. Angry Romero is loco bro.

[@wanderingandroid]

man, kongo wasted another of this teetul shot

[@sm0keyMcP0t420]

Beltran kinda fucked that up. That uppercut that finished Polizzi landed after the bell, the fight was already over...first time I've seen a fight stopped due to tko after the fight was already over. Oh well Romero would've won anyway

[@justinpaolini6886]

So funny Bader hugging him so he doesn't get ko not even technical wrestling

[@arnecruz]

I do not understand why people making fun of Bader. Kongo hardly put up a fight. Why blame Bader? At least he imposed his will against Kongo. In sports, one should impose his will against his opponent. Kongo has not shown a will to make Bader fight standing up.

[@shortyblacksmith3719]

Polizzi got took apart lol

I watch Bader fights to help put me to sleep at night..

[@andriykorobov]

lol now that's how a crucifix supposed to go, good thing the walrus wasn't reefing that one

I don't think I'll ever watch a Bader fight again. Also Kongo should retire, immediately. Lol

[@brunojm7282]

Kongo don’t use his reach advantage at all, why putting his back on the cage ?

[@RationalLlama]

Yoel has aged so well in mma. But that fight really should have been stopped in round 2. The opponent was on chicken legs the rest of the fight. Should have saved him from extra punishment.

[@arunlama2398]

That ain't too win for Romero cuz Alex was still by his feet

BADER WAS SO BORING ALL THE COMMENTATORS KNEW IT BUT THEY KEPT SAYING KONGO CANT STOP BADERS TAKEDOWNS WHEN IN FACT, IT WAS SO OBVIOUS THAT BADER IS SCARED TO GET HIT IN THE FAVE BY KONGO SO BADER KNEW HE WAS A DIRTY BORING CHAMMPION! (HOW?!) ... WE ALL WATCHED THE WHOLE FIGHT AND HONESTLY BADER WAS CRAP FIGHTING KONGO AGAIN. THE WHOLE ARENA WAS ON THEIR FEET WHEN THEY STOOD AND BANG BUT WHEN BADER TOOK HIM DOWN AND DID NOTHING. THE WHOLE ARENA IN THAT PLACE WAS COMPLETELY BOOING BADER SO HARD AND NONE OF THE COMMENTATORS EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE IT

[@gilbertbattung4037]

Kongo is bigger but has no chance and he's old.

[@conquestgaming9955]

Bader was terrified. Held on for dear life all five rounds.

[@1966cambo]

Is this a serious comment? Bader faced Fedor , I doubt he was afraid.

[@rebelinparadise7197]

Bader put on the worst title defense ever. What was his game plan. Hold him for 5 rounds? Surprised the ref didn't break them up and call for more action. That fight totally sucked. Bader sucked. Looked like Rose and Carla.
