Bellator 173: McGeary vs. McDermott Discussion Thread

The fighters are weighed in for Bellator Belfast, and we're set for kind of a weird one. 

Not positive when these go down local time, but trying to find out. 

The preceding BAMMA card is quite good. 

What pisses me off about this card 


Kirill could be to Israel (diaspora) - what Gallagher is to Ireland / N.i ( diaspora )  or what Paddy Pimblett is to Liverpool ( no good Scousers )  you get the idea, 

But

Management / some genius  sets him against Ginzanov early on ... ( Never EVER - - if you care about your career / record / future / own scalp ( consider from coaches/managers point too )--- never ever take on a Chechen, in Chechnya,  unless you know in your heart of hearts that he is not going the distance with you in there - or you are certain, absolutely certain that you will pull off a 'Brett Cooper'  ( maybe you don't mind a loss if you are getting serious bank / need the cash - but for me anything less than guaranteed 40k- 50k + expenses when I know there's good chance I'll lose / be a stepping stone - - you can fck off I'm not being your stepping stone .. but that's me ( and only if i really needed it etc )

then - - - is thrown in .. With Georgi Freakin Karakhanyan........ ( face palm.. / bang my head on table  )

THENNNN

What will surely be a tough out against a whipper snapper / trail blazer Demon eyed - Gallagher. .......  

I'm not expert .. just some random idiot that likes martial arts / exercise, I like Scott Coker and Bellator a lot really like their efforts especially internationally 

but guys ....... you have an untapped well. . And a potentially great 'tapper'.......
guys...... you have to give - - to get --- ***? ???? Kirill shouldn't have even taken that Chechen loss on record - whatever freakin genius pushed him to that - punch yourself in the nuts ( at least 5 times, hard )... but then Georgi Freakin Karakhanyan......... ***. .
sorry for rant ... but ***. .... There's dumb and there's dumb ... Coker - the string pullers of Bellator / VPN ( whatever the owner company name is ).... stop tripping over yourselves face first you clumsy morons. .. any experience is good experience but your squandering a potential gold mine / fruit garden of a market - a lot of great nights / events / a potential 'face of -' trail blazer in Kirill. ... just goes to show even people who are "up there" in the world - are still completely dumb as fck sometimes ... ( at important times )
sorry again for rant but think it's worth considering .... don't understand what goes through people's heads sometimes .... They build up prospects appropriately - then leave other prospects outside in the cold with no blanket ... They can do lot a better, a lot better ....
 Kavanagh is going to whoop that chunky ass today !!! But French girl looks strong / robotic .. sorry again 4 rant -

@WastelandWanderer I completely agree. You have a young, talented guy from a region you're trying to break in to, and you completely throw him to the wolves. It's so obvious, yet they ruin it.

And i really liked Kavanaugh in the movie 'Dodgeball'

Not reading anything cause I didn't spoil it for myself,but I been saying that girl was super overrated for a few years now.I'm happy she got her ass kicked,well not really,but it's good people will stop talking about her as some monster.

Kirill is also a 125-135er, he has no business fighting top 145ers

@mikeyg 

Thanks for posting these. I completely forgot to dvr it, and when I got home last night, cops was already on. 

Btw, bellator's London card is looking outstanding so far. I 100% love what Scott Coker has done with bellator. 

Will they continue to feed Gallagher fighters that he can beat?  

Do you hate every Irishman?

No, he is technically British.
I just think Bellator is trying to copy Conor as they are very desperate to have a new, young star.
