I see Bellator getting close to a million viewers with this card

[Warner2BruceTD]

I dont think Brett Rogers is a prelim. It's listed as the main event everywhere I look.

[Warner2BruceTD]

bellator.com has it listed as a prelim

That's a bad job by Bellator, he's the biggest name on the show, they have to show that live.

[EmpireWF]

Main of the local card maybe. And I'll be glad that bum doesn't fight live on tv.

Word.

They might have Brett Rogers on standby as the swing fight.

I have low expectations of the 205 tournament. This field is weak.

[Warner2BruceTD]

I'm hearing this isn't televised. It's not listed on the guide. Bellator website is very vague. Idk.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Not televised. It's official.

NAAFS 205 pound title just changed hands. Bjorn loves the sport, he allows other titles to be defended in his cage. What a great man.

[Warner2BruceTD]

This is streaming on spike.com & bellator.com, btw

[EmpireWF]

Your boy Rogers will fight on TV or online if they run out of time.

[Warner2BruceTD]

The show IS NOT on tv AT ALL.

Rogers fight is right now.

Couldn't even get on MTV2? The fuck? Ill tweet and see if I can find out why.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Next month's show is airing on TV.
