Taking advantage of the fact that Lima has a tonne of Canadian fans! Nice, LIMA by SUB R2!
And Lima smashed Terry Martin in Windsor at MFC 29 last year. He must have some Windsor fans.
Adrenaline fighter chad laprise is on this as per his facebook… Talented guy.
I know it’s unconfirmed by the promotion, but isn’t Laprise supposed to fight Ricci in Hamilton 3 weeks before this? Is that fight off or is he hoping to do both?
I’m going to enjoy watching Lima fight Askren! Not many big MMA fans in Windsor but this should be a very fun event. Can’t wait to watch it! Lima TKO round 2 :)
was hoping to see Horodecki vs Corey II to settle the Draw from their last fight. Looks like Corey is heading to Featherweight and is fighting on Bellator 60.
MMA Weekly is also reporting that the BW quarters will take place at this event. That would be bonkers if they allocated a title fight AND the FW semis AND the entire BW quarters to this event. Gotta think they meant more like two BW quarters, which still bolsters the card greatly.
I wish i was back in Detroit , lots of MMA fans there . Just over the bridge is windsor so should b a fantastic card , just wish i could make it.
WAR LIMA!!!!
Travis Marx reported himself he’ll be meeting Masakatsu Ueda at this event.
Why does it still say Horodecki vs. TBA? I thought it was confirmed a while ago he’s meeting Mike Richman.
Also Sandro-Bezerra, in addition to Straus-Corey, are the FW semis.
Still feel like this event is missing one intriguing, main card caliber match-up. Maybe they’ll announce another BW quarter.
taylor solomon vs jason fischer, chad laprise vs josh taveirne, ali mokdad vs richie lictawa, kyle prepolec vs lance snow is the undercard i believe.
UPDATE: Added Alexandre Bezerra vs. Marlon Sandro, Travis Marx vs. Masakatsu Ueda, and Rodrigo Lima vs. Hiroshi Nakamura
Bezerra vs Sandro is a great match-up, can’t wait to see that one!
Good times
As much as I’m impressed with Lima and a fan, I don’t think he wants any part of Funky’s ground game. Legit D1 All American wrestler and purple belt in BJJ, who’s now training with Dick Rufus! Lima’s best chances are to keep it standing, yeah?
You raise valid points, however Lima has only shown glimpses of his game. Admittedly that’s by design. He will win it and convincingly.
I’m surprised Lima vs Askren doesn’t have more buzz around the MMA Community! Can’t wait to watch it!
That will change in the next day or so once tonights show is done. Having a show a week doesn’t give Bellator much time to hype anything but whatever is on their next event.
Askren should shoudl do well in this matchup
@ CM, good point! Guess that’s one drawback of the Tournament process, a super fight or title fight can get lost in the shuffle!
Updated entire card.
