The featherweights were on display tonight at Bellator 103 with the tournament semi-finals, and all four men brought their best effort to cage. We can only have one tournament winner though and with Wilcox and Pitbull having fought very different fights, it’ll take some deep thinking to figure out the outcome of their eventual clash.
The UFC was back in their home away from home last night for UFC Fight Night 29, and the Brazilian fans were ready for another night dominated by their countrymen. Seven of the ten fights saw a Brazilian victorious but the fans inside the Jose Correa Arena in Barueri, Sao Paulo, Brazil left with a bitter taste in their mouths.
Bellator’s featherweight division has long been one of its strongest, and the semi-finals of the Featherweight tournament will get underway at Friday night’s Bellator 103.

Did you bet Jones at -900 against Gustafsson? Were you sweating bullets for 25 straight minutes because of it? Title fights are lucrative for betting, but with so many X-factors involved in world-class preparation, you can find yourself on the wrong side of the value easily
The UFC is betting on Jon Jones becoming the next face of MMA. With Anderson Silva only getting older and GSP openly discussing approaching the end of his career, the UFC needs Jon Jones to be the next face of the MMA.

The UFC 165 thru UFC 168 run to end the year has the potential to the best stretch of fight cards the UFC has ever promoted.

An unprecedented three title fights made MFC 38 a card you couldn’t afford to miss, even with Bellator on the same airwaves. There’s no rest for the weary here as I gauged the opposition, looked for holes in the game, and made notes for next time.
