1. It was free last time.

2. Fedor needs to be fighting for the title or be fighting another legend for a PPV card. Fedor vs Rampage or Kongo is a PPV fight.

3. I never cared about the fight anyway. Mitrione had his chance but pulled out hours before the fight and ruined the card.
 
Fedor vs Rampage, Kongo, Wand, Lashley, Kharitonov or King Mo would all be more exciting than Mitrione. Rampage, King Mo and Kongo are all ranked higher than Mitrione as well. Lashley would just be a big PPV fight because the audience they bring in and Kharitonov would be a classic match people always wanted to see.

Why does Bellator keep saying they are going to do a HW title fight or hint at a HW tournament and then never do anything but make crappy match ups?!
 
Your loss this is going to be a big event, cannot wait.
 
It's Fedor vs a top 15 HW, and plus Chael/Wandy is on the card. Those two fights alone are worth a purchase imo.

If Fedor never fought Fabio then I would be interested.

But after that performance no longer interest


I think Bellator might LOSE money on this.

MSG is not cheap. Theater I would understand, but the Big MSG? They better have a huge gate.

New NY Insurance for brain damage alone now makes you pay $2000 per athlete. Thats 2x more than some of the prelim fighters salary. Thats $60k just to have the fight take place in NY. Add the high NY standard taxes after that, etc.
 
Why don't you wait until the whole card is announced? I mean, I'm pretty sure that they won't put out a 2 fight card as a PPV.

Mitrione isn't in the top 20 right now. Rampage, Kongo and King Mo are all ranked higher at HW and are bigger names.

For a good fight, yeah. But he is being booked to fight a guy he was already supposed to fight....on a free card. So Mitrione dropping out last minute makes this a fight worth paying for when it was free originally? Now that is a special kind of stupid.

And what if Matt gets more kidney stones and drops off last minute again? This crap is getting to be like Werdum vs Cain, they book it a hundred times and it might happen once.

I've had kidney stones. When they're ready to come out you certainly can't fight, you can't even sit in a chair and be comfortable. They run rampant in my family and nobody passed some stones that I know of and had a problem later in the same year. You still got the stones maybe but usually they don't drop and ain't ready to come out. I evidently still have stones but it's been years since I've passed them before and it hasn't come up yet. He'll be ready to go.


That said I agree with a lot of what you said lol.

Current top 10 guys like Struve (10), Travis Browne (9), Andrei Arlovski (8), Mark Hunt (7), and Derrick Lewis (6)
 
Not sure why you consider Fedor vs Kongo to be PPV worthy but not Fedor vs Meathead

Well.. Kongo owned Mitrione but that was like more than 5 years ago so I'm not exactly saying I agree with it. I do think Kongo is slightly better than Mitrione though. Very very slightly tho.
 
Meathead is a much tougher fight than Kongo...
 
Fedor vs Mitrione is a stupid fight for hundreds of reasons.

If Fedor wins everyone says Mitrione sucks and is a UFC reject.

If Fedor loses he always sucked because he lost to a UFC reject.

Fedor can beat Mitrione but there is also a chance Fedor get violently KOd and doesnt fight again.

Fedor signed for 3-4 fights and you can get 3-4 good fights out of him against legends and bigger names and really use his star power to further build the Bellator brand.

Mitrione isnt a big name and wont be a big name even he beats Fedor. He isnt some young prospect. He's 38 and will always be the guy from TUF with mixed results in the UFC.

If Fedor loses to this guy his legacy gets trashed even more. If Fedor loses to a legend like Rampage its not nearly as tarnishing and theres no shame in losing to a legend.

The matchmakers are Bellator are fucking idiots for this garbage ass matchmaking. If they were smart Fedor would be fighting Rampage, Kingo Mo, or the winner of Wand vs Sonnen.

Bellator are fucking idiots.
