Um someone has too much time on their hands! Including myself seeing im commenting on this. omh

[@messymike3388]

If only Bellator pushed and promoted these fighters(and their own brand)...the owner Scott Coker is good people by paying the fighters what they had respectfully earned.

WoW! Bruna and Elina's fight was just awesome. I just wish that more fights were like it. All of the women come to pound in the ring while the men look so slow. Wtg Bruna!!

[@Occupuyourspine]

The gloves seem to absorb energy? Both are very adept combatants, good show ladies.

[@Emunys]

Arlene Blencowe love your attack!!! Amazing...Fast!!!

[@lesliefisher7642]

Much appreciated.Very entertaining favorite part of the card was Amanda getting the victory in about 20 seconds.And the fight with the former kick boxer making the MMA debut and winning after setting up off the body shot.

[@AntiPattern328]

Varga is a badass!

[@johnsurf509]

The other lady outstrike smith she landed the bigger shots for sure!!The counter strike on the smith opponent was very good!

[@StremmeR]

she also ran away the whole fight. imagine having 2 kavanaugh's in the ring... you might as well take a shit.

That was the sound of air being inhaled after the kick. Sounded like someone stepped on a small dog, Yepp!

[@BOBBYRIF1]

The knee was not done in a malevolent way... you could tell the young fellow was upset with himself.

[@angrychickin]

he was taking a beating anyway and that knee should be legal.

[@robertdavis9477]

Certainly. Also someone in his corner was yelling for him to throw the knee. You can hear it in the background.

[@lesalucas229]

Awesome fight Leslie! You go Champ, you earned it! I am so happy for you!

GRACIAS!!!

[@0user123user0]

Can someone tell me how Kavanagh lost? I see Leslie storming in and missing A LOT, way more damage done by Sinead, and WTF who does this 1:00:29, what a MONSTER! Old Skool John McCarthy biggin up Old Skool Leslie Smith 48:12 for that sweet sweet Bellator pay to win match-up

[@turbosupra2jzdragracingtob249]

Exactly. Leslie didn’t win a single minute….not a round…and hell no she didn’t win the fight…

dude got kicked in chin and they say it shouldnt have effect. if his head was bouncing and reverbing(it did) then he took a pretty good impact.

Hey Olivia i see you

[@jesusflores7814]

What kind of judges are those that they go by someone charging throwing right and left like crazy the kavanaugh girl was very tactical and landed better punching she should be the winner!

[@gauge6513]

Agree. Kavanaugh was by far the more effective striker. The announcers also had a bizarre bias.

[@jesusalejandrolobatoncaniz7074]

Goddd figtyfers Bellator mma

[@jamaicanewshub9582]

Crosbie Jackson fight should have been an NC not a DQ win as Crosbie was well on his way to winning the round

[@ricklewis9369]

That was not a strike and that boy knew it . That will affect him later. I know judges must be firm and in charge but there is a time when they cross the line. It can cause future problems when fighters know about it and I am sure several fighters will know it. I just don't want him to have to look back and see his past. Just work it being positive and fair. I feel it may solve it self

[@TheKlickitat]

Who paid for Smith's win? That was a horrid decision. Just count the shots landed and it was not even close.

[@mirandameyhem2724]

Nah. Kavanah landed some good shots but most landed on Smith's guard. Smith was the clear aggressor and better overall fighter. Her pace and ring control gave her most of her points. Kavanah just spent too much time backing up. Had she pushed forward a bit more she probably would have taken it.

[@yungbull6205]

Which minute can someone say me?

[@mrmomoneytrain]

Egg zack lee

[@mrmomoneytrain]

@@mirandameyhem2724 umm... Smith was using the Rocky balboa defense... Blocking Kavanaugh's punches with her face. She landed like 8 shots per round. Gtfoh

[@narayanaraorapeti7249]

Nice

[@wallyb7207]

That disqualification fight was complete BS. The guy didn't stand a chance and just lied down for the win. Total disgrace, he needs to find a desk job.

[@rigobertorodriguez6299]

That referee should be fired, “protect yourself” dude is getting blasted with elbows. That was over as soon as he even started throwing the elbows.

[@stephendeluca4479]

How many blows to the back of the head did Agazarm land? Then he doesn't disengage right away when the ref stopped the fight.

[@natasha_jones8912]

That Jones fight was nothing but them too laying on each other.. id never pull them cards again

Budd, after round 1 = Scared then Quit!

Sinade Cavanaugh beat Leslie Smith's ass... Point blank period.

[@JT-il3fe]

Cristina needs a good boxing coach she didn’t even know how to move her head when punches were thrown at her she’s tough and good just needs more time and practice

[@rapetisatya8134]

[@MoonRay0325]

Not a definitive win for Bruna Ellen. It was razor close. Elina gave her a run, for her money.

[@thearchitect817]

A year late but there are some major discrepancies here. Some look legit and others look not so much. One , Seanad Kavenagh won every round hands down. Deliberate malpractice with the refs. There’s a pool of refs that aren’t quite knowing the rules or are blatantly biased. Very strange.

[@terryallen4407]

Leslie Smith vs Sinead Kavanagh, really? Kavanagh fought beautifully. The commentators were already messing up that fight and then that decision? SMDH! Yes Smith showed guts just running up in there, but Kavanagh was picking her apart all freaking night.

[@jayday545]

You are right but Smith controlled the pace which is a major part of a decision

[@terryallen4407]

@@jayday545 Then Valentina Shevchenko would have to finish all of her fights, since she doesn't control the pace of most of them. If you pick a person apart (as did Shevchenko vs Holm), then you shouldn't lose.

[@jayday545]

@@terryallen4407 not a great comparison considering how Valentina is an expert counter striker. She also controls the pace, but does it in a different way. But comparing the best in women to these two doesn’t quite fit.

[@terryallen4407]

@@jayday545 How many fights you know of where Valentina controlled the fight? You said pace control is a major factor. That would be regardless of who the fighter is, if that were true. Kavanagh was picking Smith apart! And yes, my comparison was spot on!

[@jayday545]

@@terryallen4407 that’s fine, we just saw a different fight. I saw a lot of missed and block punches by Kavanagh, and Smith landing counters and nice combinations plus controlling the pace. Even when Kavanagh landed a punch they seemed to not faze Smith at all.

[@dddsiegfriedthenegator8829]

Dude smith lost that fight. Yes she was stalking the whole time but she was punching air most of the fight and getting counter punched in the face the whole time. She did land good leg kicks but got punched the face way more times than she landed kicks

[@juniorgeerootednbootedcov6134]

Great fights. The womans fights are epic!!! Some piss poor refing in some. Expecially were the ref took too long for medics to come into cage during Mike Jackson fight. Ref should have stopped fight before the knee happened. Jackson starfished out without no attention...

I feel 'Carvalho got one round his opponent got round 2 and 3 due to Carvalho kept backing off because of those 'clapping' kicks!' So I know yer you do feel like did the Judge 'take a pi$$ during the fights,' missed some of the action so made a Crappy judgment call.
