Folks, no one is healthy anymore. Saturday afternoon, the UFC puts on what might legitimately be the weakest card in UFC history. This Bellator 144 card is better but even it was originally supposed to have Marcos Galvao vs Dantes as a main-event, which would’ve been an awesome fight. Halsey is actually a pretty good prospect and has looked like a beast. He’s kind of a star in the making. Carvalho isn’t a joke though so this could be interesting. Also keep an eye out for Michael Page: so far, he’s been given match-ups that allow him to look special and boy does he ever. I don’t think his style will play long-term, as it’s too flashy and too different to succeed at the true world-class level but if it does? Shit. Bellator will have the coolest fighter on earth.
Below are a collection, randomly of course, of Bellator 144 videos to go along with this Bellator 144 Preview for the show that happens later tonight. There are worse ways to spend your day.
