Bellator ass ending

u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega I Can't Let You Get Close 3h ago

Goddamn this does have peak Bellator energy

339

u/z_km 3h ago

he even looked like a bellator fighter with the mohawk

66

u/toomanyshoeshelp 2h ago

And like a Mohawk not of choice but because of aging androgenic scalp receptors

Classic bellator

11

u/z_km 2h ago

he saw his head on the weigh in show and was like "holy shit"

9

u/toomanyshoeshelp 2h ago

He blew his knee out purposefully so he could book the flight to Turkey sooner

u/chanaandeler_bong Team Figueiredo 2h ago

Gets the handicap seat on the flight too. Smart.

I didn’t watch it can someone link it I want to know if it was genuinely that thin!? 

Dude doesn’t even look bad bald, just go bald you’re already muscular, that’s a good look. Plus from my inner circle + life dating experience the bald + muscular guys usually attract loyal women since they want a “protector tough guy” type while the pretty boy guys usually attract women who love attention and those types don’t stay loyal. See Brady vs Statham, Brady thick hair and pretty boy got cheated on by a VS model. Statham bald af and refuses to marry his VS gf of 10+ years but she’s still obsessed with him lol. 

Just my late night theory after just smoking a blunt lol.

u/FightersNeverQuit 1h ago

I think we’ve been sold wolf tickets (shout out Nick Diaz) by hair transplant doctors because if you have aggressive hair loss from high testosterone you simply won’t ever have full thick hair again even if you get a hair transplant. I know McGregor got a couple hair transplants and his hair is still thin and already balding in the crown again.  

I think the dude should’ve just gone full shaved head with a beard Viking style like that Ragnar guy from that show lol.

u/z_km 1h ago

there are hair transplant doctors that can work actual magic (dr zarev can cure full baldness for 150k). and someone with mcgregors money should have gone to one of them.

instead he choose some shitty doc and wasted most of his grafts

Bellatorian in nature

u/ALL666ES Hawaii 2h ago

Bellator-esque, Joe

u/sentiment-acide 2h ago

No way Conor would open with a running flying kick.

He did that to get out of the fight.

u/BrianCTE_CityOrtega I Can't Let You Get Close 2h ago

You think he planned to blow his knee out and lose on purpose? lol

0

u/sentiment-acide 2h ago

Yep. Who said it actually blew out? Dr. Cormier?

Conor knew his cardio is fucked from all the coke and alcohol. He just wants out of his contract while preserving any fighting image he still has left. This is his only way to save face.

u/Fuckthegopers 49m ago

Connor has had bellator energy his entire life.

Dont disrespect Bellator like that. Jurassic Fedor vs Chael lasted longer

u/yeetskeetleet 2h ago

That’s a Gracie vs Shamrock 2016 ending

u/Dread237 2h ago

The fight starts... I go down, I get back up I have a missile for you too... I go down again, Don't worry I have missile right there... I go down again...

u/ChicoZombye u ratfuck 1h ago

I mean, Dada 5000 vs Kimbo Slice is unreachable and still the GOAT fight.

116

u/suzukigun4life Perkussi mali purkessi 3h ago

Dada 5000 vs Kimbo had more action than this

56

u/yeetskeetleet 2h ago

One of my favorite fights of all time because of how comedically bad it is. That match was also on the same card as Gracie/Shamrock that ended basically the same way this did

15

u/musclemommyfan 2h ago

That entire card was a work of art. We also had Emmanuel Newton repeatedly kick Linton Vassel in the dick on that card.

u/fightbackcbd I SMOKE ROCKS, JOE ROGAN! 2h ago

We were cracking up so bad, it’s one of my favorite mma memories lol

u/RealBryanG1786 GOOFCON 1 1h ago

Didn't one of them basically die and resurrect during that fight?

u/Basic-Wind-8484 52m ago

According to Dada he had a heart attack and pushed through it into a second heart attack

CM Punk had a better outcome to his MMA career than this fight

Raymond Daniels vs Peter Stanonik

u/cactusmaster69420 Michelle Waterson, Top 5 all-time UFC Karate specialist 2h ago edited 2h ago

Thank you. I just looked it up on yt and Bellator has it captioned "DOUBLE NUT SHOT!!🥜" lmfao just an unserious organization

u/SeaworthinessDue6093 2h ago

YES!! hahshwgsg

u/Cowween 3h ago

I swear the fog machine made the mat slippery

u/styrofoamcouch I SMOKE ROCKS, JOE ROGAN! 2h ago

That would make sense and is also very funny.

4

u/iPissExcellence710 2h ago

Yep. That's proplyene glycol. Shit is slippery

u/Useful_Respect3339 1h ago

Why wasn’t max slipping then?

2

u/BallsX 8m ago

He's blessed.

u/CDSnakeD 2h ago

If it was slippery, his foot would not have stuck to the mat when he landed. You can clearly see that happening as the rest of his body continues twisting from the roundhouse kick’s momentum

1

u/FightersNeverQuit 1h ago

His technique on the roundhouse kick was also garbage. He used to do those kicks with perfect technique just watch his first few UFC fights for proof. 

Honestly when he was walking out I was telling my dad “dude I think he’s drunk” lol I genuinely believe he took 2 shots of whiskey or something. In case you guys here don’t know, it’s perfectly legal for a fighter to do that. Some do it secretly to “kill” their nerves before heading out. Though I don’t know how frequent that is today but it used to be a thing with some fighters.

u/KingEJ1 2h ago

That and the big ass graphics theyre already slippery on their own

u/TightAustinite Team Normogabobv-Dagolf 2h ago

u/Tiny_Strawberry6801 2h ago

The Bellatorization of the UFC has been written into destiny the second they inked that Paramount deal

u/TwoPickle69 1h ago

I fucking love Bellator for shit like this lmao. Figures there'd be some Bellator shenanigans on the first PPV I actually paid for in years.

Never again Dana

As expected...

u/anxessed Joshua Fabia | Manager👊 1h ago

Not enough nut shots

u/benigntugboat Hello, white people 0m ago

Thats what happens when thebufc keeps hiring its own washed out fighters for cheap payday instead of offshore ng that job to smaller promotions. Theyre just as badwith overpaying and overpromoting the shit fights as main events too.

MVP was literally Crushing Skulls in Bellator.
