The buzz of the bouts announced for Bellator 149 has had a lot of people talking, whether it is good things or bad. But frankly, many fans and pundits are straight out interested in the matches. One of the bouts features Kimbo Slice, who drew in record-breaking numbers on cable television against Ken Shamrock at Bellator 138. Kimbo faces a rather new name to MMA, but paints a perfect picture to once again get people’s attention.

This isn’t just another article about former UFC veteran and current Bellator lightweight Josh “The Punk” Thompson. It’s what the message and reality is for all active fighters. “Smooth” (23-5 MMA) finished his UFC contract in Seoul, Korea against a game Jorge Masvidal. Benson made comments about wanting to retire in the UFC, but made it well known that he’s on the hunt for “greener” pasture. Now, the situation stands for each active UFC fighter. Do you fight in the number 1 organization in the world or do you fight for Bellator? No discredit to the other organizations like WSOF, M-1 global, Cage Warriors fighting, etc, but we know Scott Coker was excited about the possibility of a high profile former champ like “Smooth” who can generate fan interest. The “Punk” shares his thoughts with mmafighting.

We all know a few things about Conor McGregor. He’s deep in the psychological, as well as the physical aspect of mix martial arts. McGregor is a student of the fight game. He’s seen Aldo’s leg kicking devastation in slow motion replay, like we all have. “Notorious” UFC road began with Marcus Brimage when they fought in April 2013 in Stockholm, Sweden. Notable wins on McGregor’s UFC journey were against Dustin Poirier, Dennis Siver and Chad Mendez.

https://youtu.be/aBLYhKKj32U Sage “Super” Northcutt has been on a rampage with training videos, bending cookware, and now “shocking” and being shocked by a friend in this video. I guess it can even be electric when you’re hanging out with Northcutt (6-0 MMA) when he’s out of the octagon. The Tristar product recently defeated Francisco Trevino (14-2 MMA) of Macaco Gold team via TKO at UFC 192. Northcutt will get back into the octagon for Fight Night 80, December 10th at Las Vegas, NV for his second fight in the UFC.
