Cool main card with some good bangers.

If you notice, the prelims are getting beefier these days. Bellator prelims used to be the shits, mostly local jobbers fighting for peanuts, now you see a good mix of real prospects and even some older name guys trying to make it back up the ladder.

[Liquidrob]

Yeah, the prelims have gotten so much better from the old FSN/MTV2 days

Warrenmania?

[Warner2BruceTD]

I think Joe Warren has peaked. His Houdini acts were a lot of fun early in his career, but he started late and you cant fight from behind every time out, especially as you age.

Too bad, because he's a great personality.

[Liquidrob]

I hope he makes it through the short tournament, he will get smoked by Dantas but it would be nice to see him in a title fight just to see him hype it up

He "should" win this fight, he might not make it through the next one...

Kirk put up more of a fight than I expected.
