Must not have been paying close attention... how did Maia earn a chittle tot? Off the back of a single win over Jojo (3-3 since 2016)? Main event should be high-level. Wouldn't mind seeing Platinum Mike get put out. Rua rematch with Bearjew could be fun.

Did anyone spend $60 to watch the main card, on top of paying for ESPN+? Sounds like not a lot of people are into this structure, especially for middle-of-the-road cards like this one.
Nope. crackstreams baby! I only pay for 1-2 cards a year now; I do pay for the Espn+ because of the boxing matches and MMA content they have. Figueiredo and Moreno will both make a quick turnaround and headline next month's PPV card to fill in for Petr Yan /Aljo
I feel for them. We all played high school football/baseball/baskeball or something. I remember my final baseball game of my senior year feeling bad that I wouldn't get one last game. For guys like Rua, and especially Silva, it is probably that same feeling times 100. I can understand wanting to hang on. That said, Bellator is clearly done with adding aging fighters to their roster as evidenced by letting Werdum go to the PFL. Maybe to the PFL, but I don't know where the two of them can even go to fight. No one is gonna pay the Rua or Silva what they think they are worth. Plus, two all time greats like Rua and Silva getting knocked out by people no one has ever heard of will be humiliating.
