Bellator 200

Main Card Results:

Gegard Mousasi TKO’d Rafael Carvalho via deadly strikes at 3:35 of the opening round to win Bellator’s Middleweight gold!

Well, that was a fucking statement! "Sweet Sassy" Mousasi took Carvalho to school on the ground and beat the holy hell out of him. Now, Rory MacDonald wants a piece of the new champ and MMAFO says do the damn thing.

Michael Page defeated David Rickels by Verbal Submission 0:43 into the 2nd round.

Rickels said no mas and had enough when Page opened his left eye early in the 2nd. That was a bit embarrassing and will we possibly see the grudge match between "MVP" and Paul Daley? Doubtful.

Aaron Chalmers defeated Ash Griffiths via Standing Guillotine Choke at 1:54 of the initial round.

Mike Shipman KO’d Carl Noon a mere 0:11 into the fight!

Kate Jackson defeated Anastasia Yankova by Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-26, 29-27).

Well, ya know, we're not exactly following Anastasia for her MMA skills. 

Phil Davis KO’d Linton Vassell via Head Kick at 1:05 of the final round.

Folded him up and sent him home! "Mr. Wonderful" gets a nice highlight win.

Ultimate Fight Night 130 

FS1 Main Card Results:

Darren Till defeated Stephen Thompson by Unanimous Decision (48-47, 49-46 2x) with a little hometown judging.

"Wonderboy" fights are really becoming snorefests these days. Till missed weight in the UFC's 1st foray into his hometown of Liverpool (though there was a personal emergency as Darren's pregnant girlfriend was admitted to the hospital) and got a bit of a gift from the three blind judges. However, some of the onus is on Thompson who just cannot seem to get that vaunted offense going. Whatevs. This fight was a whole lotta nothing simply setting Stephen back and moving Darren ever so slightly up behind hype, talk, and not much else.

Neil Magny TKO’d Craig White via Strikes at 4:32 of the opening round.

Yup. Destroyed that poor fella. Nice safe callout of Kamaru Usman knowing full well he has broken hands and won't be able to compete anytime soon. Sly.

Arnold Allen submitted Mads Burnell by Guillotine Choke at 2:41 of the final round.

Good. Again, fuck Mads.

Makwan Amirkhani defeated Jason Knight by Split Decision (27-30, 29-28, 29-28) in a strange contentious bout.

What, what the fuck was that? Knight dropped Amirkhani twice in the opening round and decided to pull guard and keep things slow. An odd choice. Makwan really looked like a twat sticking out his tongue, rambling post fight, and generally being an odd guy.

Claudio Henrique da Silva tapped Nordine Taleb by Rear Naked Choke 4:31 into the 1st round.

Oh dear Gawd that was a nasty choke. Da Silva is back people and don't you fucking dare call him fat!

Darren Stewart TKO’d Eric Spicely via Punches at 1:47 of the 2nd round.

Stewart was previously 0-3 in the UFC and this win evoked a flood of tears of joy. Congrats buddy.

Prelims Results:

Tom Breese defeated Daniel Kelly by TKO (Punches) at 3:33 of the initial round.

Aw man, the old timer got mussed up. Stevie Wonder saw it coming but solid career Mr. Kelly.

Lina Lansberg defeated Gina Mazany by Unanimous Decision (30-27 2x, 29-28).

Told ya. "Elbow Queen" bitches!

Carlo Pedersoli Jr. defeated Brad Scott by Split Decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28).

Gillian Robertson choked Molly McCann unconscious via Rear Naked Choke at 2:05 of the 2nd round.

The MMA Gods right one wrong as "Meatball" Molly missed weight in her hometown and for her UFC debut. Tsk, tsk. Robertson exploited McCann on the ground for a dominant win. 

Elias Theodorou defeated Trevor Smith by Unanimous Decision (30-27 2x, 29-28).

Bellator 200 4-1
