[@andreray2784]

[@ZenoSama_]

[@dashiet3]

@@ZenoSama_ because its a lower level then the UFC clearly what a stupid comment lol

[@philthyco1]

Corey is a good dude

[@3G00dboys41]

I actually had to look up who he fought..

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

It's called Bellator KZbin channel, and PFL KZbin channel. Easy. How lazy does someone have to be to not subscribe to those channels. You obviously not that interested.

[@zekayman]

So you just don't watch MMA, thanks for letting us know.

[@replicas10]

You my friend are a fool 🤡

[@derekstaten5221]

lol

[@3G00dboys41]

@zekayman didn't have bellstor followed. I watch plenty of mma this one flw under the radar. Oh well atleast Corey got a belt. Why did Nemkov go to heavyweight?

[@simplytrolling6869]

Corey “Curtis Blaydes” Anderson

[@geo5291]

Lol that's great

[@dano1307]

[@rrogers2370]

He ran from the real smoke.

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

No he didn't. He knocked out the number 8 ranked ufc fighter Johnny walker, has a dominant win over former udmfc champion Glover texaira, is 1-1 with former ufc champ Jan blachovich, was ranked in the top 5 before leaving ufc.

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

Bellator/PFL has many elite fighters including fighters that have beaten former and current ufc champs and ranked ufc fighters.

[@ElCyberWizard]

Wait what happen to the Russian

[@dano1307]

I think he is hw champ now and vacated the lhw if I remember

[@wasim.j]

@@dano1307 not a champ yet, but yes vacated the light heavyweight belt to move up.

[@Snowmobiling511]

I follow every fight , especially championship fights. Had no clue about this card . 🤔

[@Jameslfgsmith]

Homie big proud of that strap…😂

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

Ofcourse because Bellator/PFL is an elite organization that has many elite fighters including fighters that have beaten former and current ufc champs and ranked ufc fighters. I could give you plenty proof

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

Ufc strap doesn't mean as much as it used to😂😂😂

[@PozzaPizz]

I wanted to bet $100 on him by decision but there was so little advertisement I had no idea it was on a Friday :- | utter failure by bellator as usual

[@dano1307]

Yep. You hardly see anything promoting the fights. Then that card where it was fedors last fight everyone was so pissed because they got paramount + to watch it and we couldn't find it and bellator finally tweeted like an hour into it that you need to have paramount + premium to watch it live which they never said anywhere

Eww fc aka ufc

[@chiquita683]

If Francis gets KOd this summer in the PFL then we know where he ranks in terms of all time greats. Cory went to Bellator and showed there's levels. Congrats champ

[@ElCyberWizard]

No he didn’t he went and loss to the champion

[@Cozmo1994]

He did. He showed that people who are not good enough to become champion in the UFC can move promotions and become champion.. There are levels to this, He does not have to worry about getting slept by OSP level fighters in Bellator.

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

Francis beat almost all his ufc opponents, so if he gets beat in PFL/Bellator it further shows that they have elite talents outside the ufc that can compete

[@hybrid.catastrophic.impact6071]

Hey PFL & Belator how about promote your fighters better because I had no FCKNG clue Corey was fighting. I feel for these men putting their lives on the line and your promoter does shit. Corey I'm so damn happy for you and man I know and hope you make your way back and get that UFC gold. Corey Anderson today is the best 215er on the planet

He only won bc the true champ moved to heavyweight. This guy sucks in interviews. Your champ of bellator a sold company sold to a lesser promotion.
