Bellator hasn't even made te debut in New York, yet already have their second event scheduled. I'm sure New York is a huge market, as highlighted by those UFC documents published in junkie.

I remember Scott Coker saying something about Viacom being based in New York, and that'll give them a huge advantage in that market, Wondering how true that is.


On the event, the main event is a solid solid fight. Chidi is very underrated. I could see him giving Andrey problems. I could also see the scale giving chidi problems. I hope he makes weight.

Gonzalez and Ward should be a good fight. Both scrappy win or lose. I wonder whom they will match McKee up against. Looks like Bellator is kicking it into a higher gear with promoting their younger talent. I hope this card fills out nicely, and there aren't any injuries.

Didnt Ward just get his face kneed into the upper deck by Paul Daley?
I'm glad Paul got to show off his skills on a guy as high-level as Ward.
Ward was expected to win, and really was, until the spinning elbow that was the beginning of the end.
Gonzales is tough as shit, very gritty, and this will be his coming out party if he makes it past Brennan.
It's a test for both, but Brennan has more tools at his disposal.
For lack of a better analogy, he's kinda like Bellator's WW Rockhold.
Had Gonzales got the nod vs. MVP(which many thought he should have), he'd be riding a 7- fight win streak.
This is a great fight, stylistically and divisionally.

To be honestly, I feel like both have low ceilings in their divisions. Ward especially always loses when it counts most.

That said though, should be a fun scrap. Both usually come out to bang and put in a show.
