Bellator 71: Light Heavyweight Tournament (6/22 on MTV2)

[EmpireWF]

Important MTV2 programming bumps them? At least it was a subpar card.

Laaaaaame. This ain't on TV.

Rogers hit a nice throw.

Rogers got his first win since that terrible fight against Ruben Villareal in 2010.

Rogers looked slow and lethargic, but that guy just wasn't in his class. Rogers rag dolled him with minimal effort, but looked bad standing.

I'm not sure Rogers would win a tournament here if he fought like that. He'd be the favorite, but guys like Silva or Prindle won't get tossed around so easily and can tag him standing.

[SHOGUN]

Boughton/Newton was a fun scramblefest. Boughton intrigues with his grappling chops and I really hope they bring him back because he looks like someone to keep an eye on. Newton is my pick to win the tournament.

[SHOGUN]

Another crazy finish.

[SHOGUN]

Thank goodness Bellator's game is only coming out via PSN/XBL. That would be a hard sell for 60 bucks.

[Cornelius]

Wasn't Bellator on Spike or was that someone else? I need UFC alternatives. Tired of their bullshit.

Bellator has been and will be on MTV2 for the rest of the year, this show was just not shown, only on Spike.com, right now they do the main card on MTV2 and the prelims on Spike.com

In 2013 Bellator is moving to Spike full time, they cant until 2013 because of the UFCs previous contract with Spike, 2013 is going to be a big year for Bellator
