Madison Square Garden
New York City, New York, USA
Not sure when but eventually we will have the full results for the Bellator MSG PPV. Maybe I’ll order it. Maybe I won’t. It’s a tough sell just because of all the carnies involved at the top of the card.
Bellator MSG PPV Results
Chael Sonnen vs. Wanderlei Silva
Light Heavyweight
What Happened?
Silva tried a bunch of punches. Chael ducked under them and hit takedowns. This was repeated for fifteen minutes. Embarrassing from big men but what else did you expect? I guess it’s a positive Chael didn’t get tapped in 30 seconds. WHAT A PPV!!!! They fought like 40 year old dudes who just wanted money and little damage.
Bellator PPV WINNER: Sonnen, dec.
Then Chael said he hated Fedor and NYC. And acted like he beat Tito. Yeah. I don’t know either.
Should You Watch?
Fuck. No.
Fedor Emelianenko vs. Matt Mitrione
Heavyweight
What Happened?
LOLOLOLOLOL. FEDOR GOT DROPPED BY SOME PUSSY ASS HALF JAB RIGHT HAND. Mitrione hit a few more punches and the Russian “legend” was as cold as a husk of corn in a Siberian winter.
Bellator PPV WINNER: Mitrione, R1, KO
Should You Watch?
Fuuuuuuuuck yeah. LOL!!!!
Michael Chandler (c) vs. Brent Primus
Lightweight Title Fight
What Happened?
They fought a bit. Chandler got kicked a bit. He rolled his ankle. Ref asked the Dr. to look at it. This resulted in a stoppage. Really. AWESOME FUN TIMES! Bellator: entertaining even when not.
or… as Matt put it better:
Chandler was immediately favoring his ankle. He later rolled his ankle and could not put any weight on it. Primus attacked with more leg kicks. Dumbass NYSAC ref stopped the fight for an injury timeout. There was no foul or illegal blow.
After a few minutes of confusion and Chandler’s corner pulling his stool out from under him, the fight was called off. Primus is new LW Champ. Chandler claims he could have continued and is not pleased with the decision.
Bellator PPV WINNER: Primus, R1, tko
Should You Watch?
LOL. BEST PROMOTION EVER.
Douglas Lima (c) vs. Lorenz Larkin
Welterweight Title Fight
What Happened?
ALL of this was ripped from a great man known as Josh Molina at WO.com
R1: Both fighters traded a few leg kicks, but not a lot of action. Both fighters showing a lot of respect for each other. Lima is busier, throwing more strikes. He landed a couple of kicks to Larkin’s front leg. Larkin threw a fast combination, but missed. Lima landed a left jab and pushed Larkin up against the cage to end the round. Close round. Lima 10-9
R2: Larkin was more aggressive to start the round, but Lima did a good job of dodging punches. Larkin connected with a big right hand that bloodied the nose of Lima. That woke up Lima who landed a wicked left hand that dropped Larkin. Lima pounded him with elbows and fists, but Larkin defended and eventually scrambled to his feet. Lima continued to land with combinations, but appeared to punch himself out a bit. Larkin connected with some punches to end the round. Lima 10-9
R3: The two fighters seem very aware of each other’s power to start the round. Lots of circling of each other, but not a lot of punches landing. Larkin landed a left body kick Lima countered with his own. They both seemed to take the round off, but Lima is more aggressive. Lima 10-9
R4: Larkin landed a left leg kick to Lima’s shoulder. Lima landed a clean bodypunch. Larkin landed a leg kick again. Lima seemed a bit flustered by Larkin’s movement, even though Larkin didn’t land much. Larkin landed a double jab, but Lima pushed him down and jumped on top of him. Larkin stood up to end the round. Another close round. Larkin 10-9
R5: Although Larkin is busier, he seems relunctant to close the distance after tasting Lima’s power in the second round. Larkin gave Lima lots of different looks, but Lima stayed conservative and stuck to his game plan of throwing leg kicks to Larkin’s front leg. Everytime they get close, Lima pushes him off. Lima seemed a lot stronger than Larkin throughout the fight. Lima 10-9
Bellator PPV WINNER: Lima retained the title via unanimous decision, 50-45, 48-47 (2x)
