Bellator 283 is starting in few hours and you can watch Prelims Live and FREE on Bellator youtube channel!
Main card have some very promising fights but I would tune in with Prelims, you can watch more United States vs Russia fights, with Usman Nurmagomedov vs Chris Gonzalez being most important.
In main event I think Jason Jackson can take a scalp from Douglas Lima, he has big reach advantage and he is few years younger , but fight can go to distance all five rounds with decision win.

First of all, to avoid throwing rotten tomatoes into me, my opinion is that kitchen is not the only place for women I am ok with seeing women in sports with weapons (like fencing). I am ok to seeing women in judo, wrestling, karate and other close combat sports. But, the winner in a fight must be decided by amount of points gained for performing technique. But not who has made more damage, crippled, or injured his opponent. Mark a hit to a face, get 1 point. Get 10 points and win. Not smash other chicks nose, break her cheekbone and win.

We will surely have different opinions regarding this topic, and women and MMA for me OK if they like it why not if they can show what they are good at then why not, I think they are surely free to pick what they really want, it goes to show that we will surely have a different opinion regarding this, we can also have a debate regarding if you really like a woman to fight or not in this kind of combat sports,


This is because in the old time women are likely to be oppressed many men think that women are just for household jobs, for some they are just mere tools or maids to clean the house, do laundry, cook every meal, or just nurture the young, but for the modern times I think right now there is different thinking that Woman are equal to men that is why there is a saying that if men can do it so are woman, I think thinking woman is not worth for anything dangerous has old thinking towards them, or maybe that person just don't want a woman to be hurt, because even though a woman can also do what men does they are still delicate in nature,


Well after seeing this I have never known that those familiar names were on Bellator once until I search their names on Wikipedia, but I am also talking to the Bellator now, I don't really know Bellator ever since but the first MMA sports that I have come across are UFC, I have just recently known Bellator and right now I am just getting started with some of their roster, but thanks for adding this up,

Let me name just few of them everyone knows, Fedor Emelianenko, Yoel Romero, Patrício Pitbull, Cheick Kongo, Sergio Pettis, Vadim Nemkov, Usman Nurmagomedov, Gegard Mousasi, Ryan Bader, Cris Cyborg, and more.
Maybe they don't have all divisions full of famous fighters, I would never say they are unknown fighters with boring fights, but they have older roster than UFC.
I think Vadim Nemkov would be in top five in UFC light-heavyweight division, same as Usman Nurmagomedov for lightweight division.

Full Invicta FC 48 event is now available for on their youtube channel, and I think they streamed it live for free on same place.
This was night had four finishes and two decision wins and if you don't want to watch full fights they have short post-fight wrap-up.
If you think that fights between female fighters are boring you should watch some of this fights, and you will understand why UFC signed many fighters from Invicta, Cris Cyborg was one of them.

This is mostly due to cultural stigmas and how the brain is wired. Women are wired to take fewer risks than men and are culturally brought up to have an inclination towards non sport things as that is reserved for boys. An interesting thing is that there was/is a rise of women skateboarders in some Arab countries as skateboarding is considered a child's game and therefore girls that are forbidden to play ''boys sports'' take up skateboarding. So the reason we don't see / know many good players, fighters, racers what have you, is that women tend to make up a much smaller percentage of people doing sports. Not because they would not be any good at it.

But it is different. I think most fights, women tap quicker, or weaker strikes KOs them. Racing is also sports, but we dont watch (I wonder if we even have) women Formula 1, MotoGP. Football - most popular sports on the planet. Anyone knows at least 5 good women players? Ask any one to name best football players, you will instantly hear Ronaldo, Messi, Pele, Maradona. Anyway, I dont like women MMA, I think this is not for them. It is ok to see smashed men faces, but not women. When we see a man with black eye - we think that he was either wrong, or defended his opinion. What we think when we see a women with black eye? Poor girl.

WOW! I haven't noticed this post because pretty much busy with the other threads but that are many fighting kittens that I feast my eyes on, Olga Rubin lost to Taneisha Tennant that has an amazing record, well Olga Rubins, looks beautiful with long her, but the impressive fight was the two lovely kittens Kristina Williams VS Liana Pirosin that end up in a Submission pretty much I will watch the fight again,


It is good that we have Bellator to back us up when UFC doesn't have any even on the weekend or if they are on Hiatus for 2 weeks, pretty much even though UFC is more popular than Bellator, the quality of fights in Bellator is non-other aswell, for MMA fights I totally recommend these 2 aswell, but still going back to One Championship to support my fellow Filipino fighters,


Pretty much Bellator doesn't have so much well-known roster as the UFC, so I think that is why you dub them as boring, but for me, there are a couple of fights in Bellator that I really like and have taken a list of fighters that are worth watching, and just like the UFC at 1st glance, I don't really know anything about them but when I tried to it more frequently I am now more familiar with most fighters I think you just need to watch more Bellator just to familiarize with certain fighters,

I cannot really say I have a lot of experience,,, but in my short time watching women in sports I can actually say that they seem to bear pain much better or rather,,, they make a less big deal out of it. And injuries as well. MMA of course in general they are really good and has less fakery and whining than say in football or tennis but I feel men/women no difference in combat sport. They are more flexible and can be faster, and helps us imagine better how we would fight (due to speed and size they look more normal than the men).

I sent you that wikipedia link with all Bellator events and I can't see any huge pauses in last few years.
Most of the times Bellator event is one day before UFC event and it has been like that for as long as this thread was created most of the times.
Bellator events are not boring at all, unless you dont like to watch mma and combat sports.

This is combat sport and I watched women compete for years in karate and kickboxing, and now in mma, no difference, it's just sports.
Cris Cyborg and Rose Namajunas are one of my favorite female mma fighters, and sometimes they can fight better than man.
I am not going to watch this Invicta event live, but I will follow what happened on their youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/InvictaFightingChampionships

Don't be too serious in your life since you're only watch men MMA, women MMA can make you interested if you're interested with a sexy chicks event and want to entertain yourself due to stressful job. I was knew UFC because of McGregor before and I keep following his fight until he doesn't in good shape now, there's some fighters that I'd love to watch since they have good skills, but right now I'm more prefer to watch women MMA due to full of surprise lol.

Regards of the fight between Tennant vs Rubin, Tennant should play on ground fight since Rubin is more a power puncher. Don't go distance against Rubin, she will know the right timing to taken down her opponent.

I know that compared with PFL or maybe One, Bellator has also a lot of event, but there are huge pauses between them. Maybe I am already used to watch UFC every week. I dont know. Maybe because UFC is more popular and I hear UFC more often than Bellator. But I have already built a vision, that Bellator events are rare and often have boring card.

Are you planning to watch Invicta tomorrow? I just cant force myself to watch women fighting. It was shocking to see a women fight in UFC, now there is a women fight in every UFC event and they even have their own event... What is your opinion on women mma ?

This looks like a great event and I think all MMA fans should watch the main card, there are some interesting fights in prelims, but main event is a bomb.
I spoke about Usman Nurmagomedov earlier and I think he will be the next Lighweight champion in Bellator, but he fist needs to defeat Chris Gonzalez and then Patricky Pitbull for championship belt.

To warm up for Bellator there is all female Invicta event tomorrow with six fights and main event Taneisha Tennant vs Olga Rubin in Bantamweight championship title fight.

I think you mixed something with PFL MMA, because Belaltor has regular events like UFC and they don't have any problem with sponsors and money.
Maybe they pay fighters more percentage than UFC and Dana White, that was reported by Cris Cyborg and other fighters that moved  from UFC to Bealltor.
List of all Bellator events shows many times they have more events in one month, with 286 so far:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bellator_MMA_events

It was always a mystery to me how Bellator manages to keep so good fighters, pay them enough, run a lot of free translations and have tournaments only every 3-4 weeks.

Found this on Tapology. Invicta FC 48: Tennant vs. Rubin <- whole event consist of 7 women fights. 5 years ago I think this would be impossible. Years ago googling "women fighting" led to YouTube or porno, and now they have their own fighting event. I cant imagine who would be the spectators. Also women? Or men? If men, they must be real barbarians, because they like to see women brutally fighting... And they dont have to spend money on tickets, because they can just go home and tell their wives that their food sucks and be ready to fight

I like morning Coffee so much actually, but yeah this is going to be a great watch as well and it seems that there is a change to the fights you have posted, and that is the canceled bouts and the changed opponent bouts, this is why we check the TAPOLOGY site more than the wiki ones, thanks to tokeweed for the site but I got you covered,

Changed Opponents Bout

• Patricky Pitbull vs. Sidney Outlaw - Pitbull Injury Changed to Tofiq Musayev
• Adam Piccolotti vs. Tofiq Musayev - Musayev to Co-Main Event
• Vladimir Tokov vs. Justin Montalvo - Tokov Withdrew Changed to Archie Colgan
• Justin Montalvo vs. Archie Colgan - Montalvo Withdrew Changed to Bryan Nuro

Cancelled Bouts

• Kai Kamaka III vs. Akhmed Magomedov - Magomedov Withdrew
• Ethan Hughes vs. Kevin Hand - Unknown Reason
• Viktor Nemkov vs. Jose Augusto Azevedo - Nemkov Injury

The Funny thing here is the Vladimir Tokov VS Justin Montalvo fight after Tokov withdrew but was changed to Justin Montalvo VS Archie Colgan then Montalvo withdrew and change the fight to Bryan Nuro, I don't know why fighters keep withdrawing from a fight because it is not indicated,

We have Bellator 283 this weekend.

I dont want to suggest you to watch whole event, but try googling Lima and Nurmagomedov fights on Sunday, maybe you will find something worth spending time while drinking morning coffee

Well, maybe these two are cursed to see each other inside the ring, but many are surely wishful they can have a glimpse of the Tony Ferguson VS Khabib Nurmagomedov fight that will be sponsored by someone, I am sure curious to see now, back then I am not expecting these fight but if I can see Khabib Nurmagomedov fight again why not, or even in an exhibition only match as long as these two are involved, why not but I really doubt Tony Ferguson will have a chance on Khabib on the ground because for me Khabib Nurmagomedov will just steamroll Ferguson for sure,


Well, I am just curious about your life and what really happened between you and the social media thing, I guess Social media or the internet can be bad if used wrongfully but if used in the right could bring happiness and contentment and every people has their own experience to such things it just happens that you are in a harsh spot that is al, but I am glad that you really overcome it,

Anyway, you can surely ask us about what link is very useful or can get you tons of information about a given event, fighters, and upcoming match we are glad to comply,


About Umar Nurmagomedov, I think he has potential and just like Khabib has said Umar Nurmagomedov has fast lightning kicks but if he mixed it with boxing it could be a perfect combination, and he is also well-balanced and well-rounded in his ground game aswell, I really like is kicks and just like Yair Rodriguez I think Umar Nurmagomedov can also do unusual kicks as Yair can do, but that is for him to be well rounded in some aspect,

the fights/duels for the upcoming ksw 72 event are now also fixed.
and with the cage fight between croatian Sara Luzar-Smajić and polish Emilia Czerwińska there will again be a female duel.

Both brothers Usman and Umar Nurmagomedov are direct cousins of Khabib Nurmagomedov and I think they have advantage and open doors in UFC.
Umar is already in UFC he has a perfect 15-0 record but he is currently fighting in Bantamweight division.
Usman fights in Bellator currently and he is few years younger than Makhachev, but I see nothing wrong in both of them being in same division of UFC, and let the best man win.

Exactly. UFC already has Makhachev, and so far they dont need another "unbeatable guy from Dagestan that will make noise in division". I bet if or when Islam Makhachev becomes a champion, he and Khabib will try to talk and push on Dana and try to force him to sign Umar. By the time Umar joins title race, Makhachev will retire and together with Khabib, they will help Umar to become a champ. It will like a Abdulmanap legacy - 3 UFC champions out of one gym. Or this is just my fantasy

Chris Gonzalez is a really strong opponent and will be a challenge in the feet as he finished his last opponent with strikes and has a background in wrestling and hence it will be an interesting fight. The reason Usman Nurmagomedov did not sign with the UFC is because he fights in 155 pound division and they have Islam Makhachev coming up the ranks in the 155 pound division and to avoid that clash they took the wise decision to join Bellator and hopefully later in his career once Islam Makhachev retires he will make his debut in the UFC.
