Hell baby
f*** it I’m betting on Tony at like +440, he’s the D’Arce god and that’s Chiesa’s weakness (and Chiesa is also washed I think).

Edit: +525 now sheeeeesh

Some good and very important fights on this one. Looking forward to it.

I wouldn't bet on Tony even if it was +1525 but good luck!

It's amazing to me how the PFL has butchered this merger with Bellator and seem to somehow become less relevant. They could have done it so much better with the stronger roster. They have signed some good prospects too I just don't get it.

Stop having Bellator shows and merge the roster combined it's so much better. Maybes there's contractual reasons or something I've missed but outside of that there's no reason to have two promotions especially if bellator only going to have a handful of shows a year. Adopt bellators format as well, the tournaments were cool but a big promotion like this won't get any bigger with having one big show a year with all their titles on the line. Have regular champions with regular defenses through out the year and do a Grand Prix for one or two weight classes a year like Bellator did.

Also allow elbows.

I prefer it the way it is now with both the tournament and non-tournament cards as it gives fighters the option to do either. I wouldn't want to see the tournament format go away permanently though I would much prefer they go with like a 16 man bracket rather than having qualification fights. I do believe that they are mostly maintaining the Bellator brand to maintain current broadcast contracts in Europe, though they might decide that having 2 brands and thus 2 TV deals is more lucrative than dropping the Bellator brand.

Looks like we’ve been sentenced to another card with a real lack of finishes. If neither of these blobs can pull one off it’s over
