I think this should be a good card, I'm hoping herb dean is the ref and McDonald starts slinging some knees

So is it being shown here on tape delay or is the main card starting at 2 am in London?

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Rory performs in Bellator. He had some major mileage put on the odometer over the last few fights.

If records mean anything, there are some potential big mismatches on the under-card.
11-1 vs 14-14 really jumps out and 17-5 vs 4-1 is a pretty huge experience gap. I don't know the fighters. Are these just squash matches to build up promising guys?
Haven't looked at them, unless I'm about to mention one below. Sometimes a 4-1 or emerging name can have a lot of ammy fights, though, so the pro record can be misleading -- and fighters that did fight ammy often have a significant number of fights not listed on web-archive databases. CA "CAMO" league is very high level for ammy -- higher, imo, than smaller shows in the midwest, i.e. ammies who have success in CAMO are basically compiling the same or better experience as many fighting in crap-level shows in Europe, Brasil, Midwest, South, etc., though with ammy rules and round lengths.

A good fighter who has had tough match-ups at 4-1 & solid ammy experience isn't at a disadvantage against a guy with 15 fights who has fought all scrubs in low rent shows.

But. also, Bellator's untelevised undercard fighers may be making $700/$700 so....

Lines aren't out for em yet -- may or may not come out at all -- but I got Lohore over Edwards & "Baby Slice" over Griffin if anybody thinks those go the other way.

Hey: btw, if that's not Royce up there in that pic, he needs to sue somebody for facey-right infringement.

TheEmperorRises @TheEmperorRises do you know if there's any way to watch this live?

It's being shown on tape delay for us (North Americans)
If there's a way, I don't know it. As it is, we have one tv in our rec room here in Alaska that gets satelitte, and these fights will be airing about 30 minutes after the Cavs-Celtics game starts. So I'll probably be avoiding spoilers and catching them online Saturday morning.
