Yeah, Marshall isn't very good. Power only gets you so far. The advantage guys like that have is no matter how out matched they are, they always have a punchers chance. It has come in handy for many fighters throughout history.

Lol, this next fight had me chuckle a little. An undersized blown up 205 guy desperately tries to get a take down, and then when he finally does, he basically gives up and runs away after Liam lands a strike from the bottom. It was a hard elbow, but it was still funny considering the situation. Good stuff.

Good point, he's extremely aggressive and he's winning the fight, but he hasn't been able to really hurt Richman that much yet. I mean he has hurt him, but Richman is reacting well and staying in the fight. Still two rounds to go.

Frodo is starting to slow down after keeping such a high pace. I wonder if those couple of times he has fell from throwing strikes were because of him just losing his balance, or because he's getting slightly tired, or a combination of both.

No real urgency from Richman toward the end. It has cost him the fight in my opinion. Frodo was landing and got a take down. Richman just kept stepping forward but didn't commit to anything.

EDIT: Not sure I agree with the 30-27 scores, but I'm glad the decision was unanimous. I think the commentators were acting like the third round was closer than it actually was. It was fairly close, but there was no doubt in my mind that Frodo won the round. Richman only got the second round in my opinion.

Glad to see Bellator did well. I like this organization and the tournament formats it has.

I think we're a little too far in the dark to be able to really form an informed opinion about that. For a while it seemed like Rebney knew Alvarez was headed to the UFC and was fine with it, and then suddenly the shit hit the fan.

I think one or more of the parties decided to try and swindle one of the other parties out of the some of the money they had agreed on, and so the attempts at hardball came to pass.

Safe bet - Everyone's guilty.
