Bellator Finally Taps a UFC Card

Yep.

I'd rather watch the SpikeTV broadcast of Bellator this weekend than UFC 180.

It really and truly simply comes down to that reality folks.

UFC 180 on PPV brings you:
"main CARD

Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET

Mark Hunt vs. Fabricio Werdum
for interim heavyweight title

Jake Ellenberger vs. Kelvin Gastelum

Dennis Bermudez vs. Ricardo Lamas

Chris Heatherly vs. Augusto Montano

Edgar Garcia vs. Hector Urbina"

How many of the above names do you recognize other than the first 3 fights?

 

Now let's look at Bellator:

Bellator 131:
"main CARD

Spike TV, 9 p.m. ET

Stephan Bonnar vs. Tito Ortiz

Will Brooks vs. Michael Chandler
for lightweight title

Muhammed Lawal vs. Joe Vedepo

Melvin Manhoef vs. Joe Schilling

Nam Phan vs. Mike Richman" 

 

I would 100% rather watch Will Brooks vs Michael Chandler  and Manhoef execute some guy than sit around and wait for Werdum vs Hunt. I have about zero desire to see Ellenberger vs Gastelum, though Bermudez vs Lamas is interesting if Bermudez moves up the ladder with a win. To put it bluntly, this card is ONLY above a Fight pass card because of the main event. Even that is a replacement, but this card was always built around one fight.
