Bellator 141, Sept. 19

[fuhr]

I'd bet a dollar Tito will pull out due to injury but I am intrigued by the one night 4 man LHW tournament.  Can't say I'm thrilled with the idea of 2 round fights for the opening round, and always a danger that injury screws things up, but I like the spirit of one night tournaments. 


Sorry, thought I left the link, guess not.

I was hoping Mo would stay at heavyweight. I like watching smaller heavyweights win. 

Also, I am confused as to how the first round matches will be two rounds? What happens if each fighter wins a round?  No explanation of what happens with a draw.

Newton vs. Davis may be a fun match to watch:  Calm grappling vs. Energetic spinning backfists

Speculation of a 4th judge who, I assume, would judge the fight as a whole and not the 10 pt must.

The commission will allow that?

- round times that are different than the norm

- a fourth judge who is allowed to use different parameters than his/her three colleagues

Sounds borderline sketchy


For some reason, if Don King tried to promote a fight card where the boxers fight 4-minute rounds and a 4th judge is hired to judge the scoring differently (say a 15 point system instead of a 10 point system), thee state's commission would turn it down.

Or will this tournament take place on a barge in international waters?
