I doubt we will get lines on this fight but Bruno Carvalho apparently beat Edson Barboza in Muay thai.
Apparently Rodrigo Lima vs Ronnie Mann has been added to the main card here.
Lima is 10-1 but his one loss was to a 15-6 Japanese guy in his first Bellator fight. Mann's been out for just over a year but he's pretty damn good.

What is Lima's style?
Looks to be another BJJ guy. Of his wins, 5 are by sub, 3 are by (T)KO and 2 are by decision. His one loss is by decision.
And this is kind of strange: According to Sherdog he is associated with Team Nogueira, but according to the Bellator bio page, it's Tata Fight Team (whoever the fuck that is).
But yeah, looks like your typical Brazilian fighter who started in BJJ and moved into MMA from there.
Just looked over Mann's record. He's only been subbed once in over 30 fights and that was by Hatsu Hioki. He also has only been knocked out once.

I see I see...how is his striking/takedowns?
Don't ask me . . . I haven't watched any vids.

Mann opened at -210
You have any thoughts on the fight?
So no thoughts on any of this shit?

I haven't seen Lima fight so...no thoughts. I got burned on RFA betting on guys who I don't watch fight..I am not going to make that mistake again.
I like Awad against Rickels.
Why Awad? And thoughts on Newton/Zayats?
Edman, you not betting this shit?
Again? Seems like this shit is one every week
Seems like this shit is one every week

Sorry...I didn't even open this thread..just the bets thread when I was there to update my bets.

Also, I feel I got ridiculously hosed last night on Awad...bad beat for sure.

Well . . . why not?

I don't know, man. I definitely would've been pissed if I had put a big bet on him. But he faceplanted and then just fucking laid there. I mean, what the fuck was he thinking? Is he stupid enough to think he can just lay on his back after taking a big shot at the bell and stare at the ceiling and not have the ref wave the fight off?
Honestly, I think his mind wasn't right because he was fucking rocked.

Because I was on my phone/driving a lot.
And I don't know..I was there like right next to him when he was on the mat. He was just laying there like "damn I am tired" and the ref didn't wave it off...he waited 5 seconds, didn't ask if he could continue, didn't warn him that he was thinking of stopping the fight, etc.
Also...Bellator has some shit crowd turnouts. If the local fighters didn't fight on the prelims and have crowds to support them there would be like 20 people in the arena

I guess to me it seems obvious . . . you just faceplanted so you need to get up as quickly as possible to prove you still have your shit together. I remember watching the broadcast and being like, "What the FUCK is he doing? Why is he just laying there?" I mean, did he not understand the situation?
But I do legitimately sympathize. If I had put a bet on Awaad I'd have been PISSED. He looked like he was going to cruise to a decision.

Yeah, the crowd in the arena I was in was kind of sparse. I was surprised. My friend and I bought tickets the day of, and he was all like, Are they going to be sold out? And I just told him no way.
It is pretty weird. I mean, Bellator is the second biggest MMA promotion in the world at this point and they can't even get ~5,000 people to show up to their events?
Maybe MMA just isn't that big after all.

Do you guys think th fight should have been stopped or are you unsure?

MMA is dead. ESPN can get 5000 people to show up for a FNF with two no-names on the card
Do you guys think th fight should have been stopped or are you unsure?
Never saw it. Find me a link, please

It was a premature stoppage. I think he was just laying there. He literally put his hands behind his head.

Sorry Poopoo. I think you got screwed. At least you were on the right side of the line.

Yeah, that was WAY early but it was his own fault for just laying there like a tard

I bet he was hurt a little bit and trying to take a breather. We see guys do that sometimes but they usually don't take that long.

Best moment of the event, when Karo called Hawn a 'Mo-Mo" in the pre fight interviews.

Anton Talamontes. He was a HS wrestling State Champ when I was coaching HS wrestling. He is a couple years younger than me, but I remember him very well. I didn't know he was an MMA fighter until I saw his name on the PBP. He was a beast. It just shows how much is actually involved in MMA.
Anthony Lapsley was another guy that was a HS champ in that same time frame, and he is only slightly better than Talamontes (but Talamontes was a multiple time champ and was really really good). Makes me realize how good some of these guys really are. The levels are higher than we think sometimes.
