Honestly, I can’t say I am suprised. While I enjoy watching the fights, to many big names lose regularly and the production seems…how should I say this…smaller? Watching the UFC feels bigger, like it really is the best MMA company on the planet, wheras Bellator’s productions seem like the ugly stepsister. There is talent on the roster, but nobody has ever heard of most of the talent. (Marcin Held anyone?)
yea the polish sub specialist. or something like that. probably not fair because i watch almost every Bellator.
