Absolutely love the timing

Sandro drops his head to his left and the kicks already coming. Jab sets it up perfectly and the finish is all business. After having lost the first and about to lose the second too. Fun one to see live.

Awesome finish. I love how Bellator allows their videos to stay up.

Though unnecessarily strikes at the end.
Now that UFC is on FOX those strikes really need to be kept in check imo if a similar thing was to happen on a broadcast. Fighters can’t keep using that same old excuse of “i was in the moment”. If you are intelligent enough to compete at the highest level of the sport for 25 minutes then you sure as hell have the marbles upstairs to take a step back and look at your unconscious opponent and realize that further punches would not be academic but rather dangerous to their health.

That being said. Looking forward to seeing more from Curran.

Bellator highlights are sweet. They all seem to be about one minute

and they show different speeds and angles.

Exactly

…I like seeing when a fighter shows some restraint…the whole “I fight until the ref stops me” line is kind of lame because a lot of times the fighter knows that his opponent is done and adding extra damage is just not necessary

Fedor "The Can Crusher" Emeilianko IS NOT THE BEST HW EVER , in fact he sucks! he has the most padded record in the history of any combat sport, scratch that in the history of any sport. He has not changed as a fighter , he is still just as good as he was then, only difference is he isn’t fighting freaks and nobodies, I , along with many others have been duped into believing he is great, when clearly he is NOT! -I hate you the Dragon...one day

Josh Koscheck will never again have to worry about getting his eye kneed, poked or punched......................well, that is, until his eye grows back....then I guess he will have to worry. But until then!

what if

sandro wakes up when he hits the ground and the ref doesn’t stop it? then everyone will say that curran should have followed up and finished him.

the rules say to go until the ref stops you, so i think pat did the right thing. if i were to complain about anything it would be that the ref was too far away and took to long to get to the fighters to stop it.

Now that Sengoku is gone Bellator refs are the most dangerous, especially Jason Herzog

"It’s Mark Pavelich calling from the Maximum Fighting Championship,

I’ve just received notice that Drew Fickett or you, I don’t care which one of you fuckers did it, has signed a contract to fight in Strikeforce this fucking weekend. I’m going to get on a fucking plane soon and go where you’re at and choke you the fuck out. I’m telling you right now, I’ve had enough of your fucking shit. First of all, I’ve sent you the fucking pictures and secondly, I placed Drew Fickett in a fight fucking months ago and five weeks prior to my main event of my fucking fight card. You’re going to give me a fucking call tomorrow or I swear I’ll get on a fucking plane and go right where you’re at right now. You’re pissing me off, I’ve been nothing but professional to you motherfuckers and you’re doing this kind of bullshit, alright? Call me back, I’m fucking pissed."

i dont think the punches were that bad..

like they happend all so fast how would you expect him not to know the guys out.. if you watch he hits him once and than notices and jumps away before the ref even touches him

Yeah, this one wasn't so bad

That finish was absolutely fine its no different to when

Condit KO’d Hardy but no one was moaning about that.

Petruzelli’s Ninja kick and Donkey Kong double hammerfist was brilliant too! Glad to see him get the W.

Rodriguez however jesus christ is so out of shape hes a joke!

agreed

1. That cuz everyone hates Hardy

2. Yes. Double hammers was awesome

3. Correct. Ricco is indeed a fat fuck

Another huge prospect bites the dust stateside.

Sweet finish. The Alvarez fans will be happy. Curran is skilled. Flawless victory

what huge prospect?

Sandro is 34 years old. That’s like 90 in featherweight years.

SB rankings have him at 5

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sounds like a prospect to me then

huge difference

Sandro is a great fighter, but that doesn’t mean he’s a prospect. Prospects can still improve and that’s just not going to happen with him. He peaked during the Sengoku tournaments.

I like the finish. 3 taps are ok and the ref got right in there…

He was out but shit happens maybe he rolls over and gets up… you never know.

Set up and knocked down...

Great accuracy by Curran on the follow up shots too, he landed all three.

Great killer instinct!

This kids top ten now, and i think he will be the champ. Hope to see him in the UFC soon.

And this is why I watch Bellator live

Seems like there is always at least one crazy fight/finish. Seths KO on Ricco was also sick

was all set up to watch the replay last night

and then fell asleep. cant wait to get home today and watch the DVR. sounds like some good fights.

this KO was sick, perfectly timed. extra shots were a bit much but they were very quick and you can tell that it was killer instinct and not malicious carnage in any way. he pulled away as soon as the ref was near. well done Pat. go for the gold!

losers make excuses, winners make it happen...

Defenatly the highlight of the night and seths double hammer fist on ricco was pretty sweet

Pat Curran’s KO had me up outta my seat. Seth’s finish was impressive as well.
