"Baddest man on the planet" has been Ko'd and destroyed twice now... LOL
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Warren is so smug, and was taking Curran lightly atleast it appeared that way in his interviews.
The ref stoppage was golden, it was 45 minute mazzagatti league.
the ref should "try" to get a job with the department of sanitation,he's pure garbage!and that guy needs to stop saying baddest man on the planet,we all know that the baddest man on the planet is Ken Shamrock! =D
I think the Ref did good , because if he had stop it before Warren might have recover a few seconds after and complain or people may have complain about an early stoppage but the way the fight ended there is no doubt that Curran KO him
after all he was still standing meaning his legs were strong enough to keep him that way so he was still there just hurt
Pat Curran deserves that belt!
Warren looked out on his fight. Dazed look, his arms looked stiff trying to defend while standing. I think if ref stopped it, Warren would be sleeping but standing
I understand what you mean but I think at the end of the day the ref's #1 priority is fighter safety, I know it's hard to put up with crap from people but he should protect the fighter before worrying about verbal abuse.
At the end of the day he most likely would've got some flak either way, most refs do. It's a thankless job and we rarely acknowledge the many good calls they make.
one of the most brutal KOs ive seen. Warren had to be carried out of the cage afterwards
Thats why I like to see these smaller orgs exist. They server as a good ivy league to get to the UFC.
not really as the best fighters in Bellator are locked in exclusive contracts. When theyreach near free agent status, Bellator try hard to negotiate a deal to keep those fighters in the company
