    IIRC Daley completely flattened Diaz with a left hook and, had the ref been a little more concerned, probably would've won that fight by TKO. So close.

    Gracie fight aside this has been a good showing for Bellator so far.

    Jon Lovitz sighting. Wasn't expecting that.

    Bellator, I can't believe you've done this.

    Well, that was disappointing.

    Edit: I guess not, if you're a Tito fan.

    If Chael really does have a six-fight deal with Bellator this is a shit start to it.

    I guess some people are saying the main event was a fix.

    Doesn't make sense from any angle.

    Also talking about someone who's been submitted eight times in his career, now.

    Those same people claim every Bellator fight is fixed. People still think Shamrock/Kimbo was fixed also.

    Maybe it was the lack of performance enhancers, but Sonnen showed up flabby and out of shape for that fight. It looked like Sonnen thought Tito was some chump he could just show up and beat without training for.

    Dan Hardy has walked back his comments re: Tito/Chael.

    He doesn't believe that the fight was fixed or that Bellator or Tito had any knowledge of it.

    He does believe that Chael sold the world on a fight he was unprepared for, unmotivated for, and had no interest in being involved in.

    He believes that Chael made such basic mistakes in the fight (failing to defend the single leg, not fighting for position, not fighting to get out of the submission, not being properly choked) that indicate that he either wanted out of the fight or had no intention of winning.
