Where should I begin?
Fedor vs Bader vas pretty disappointing. The whole heavyweight tournament was...
When they announced the tournament everyone was so excited, including myself, because everyone was expecting Pride style tournament when fighters used to fight two times in one night. But then they decided to drag it through the whole year. OK... I guess... But then the fights started and they were all shitty. All of them. I'm trying to think of one good fight in that whole shit-show but I really can't. All the participants were well established household names and they all failed to deliver. Yeah there were some first minute KO's like Fedor vs Mir or Bader vs Fedor, but everyone was hoping for some epic wars that will stay remembered for a long long time. Don't get me wrong, Bader's KO was impressive, but audience didn't buy the ticket to watch a 30 second fight.
Of course, if we're looking from the fighters' perspective, it all went well because they all got paid.
So what's next for Bellator heavyweights? Probably bunch of freak show fights...
Ranking the fighters is obviously not an option because how do you rank Frank Mir who is in total mess, or Chael Sonnen who's not even a heavyweight, or Fedor who's contract is not really well defined...? I guess Fedor will go to Japan to fight tomato cans again... Who knows... It's all one big dumpster fire.
