OCTOBER 11, 2014
LIVE FROM EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA

- How lucky am I? First Bellator, and tonight Todd Harris and Bas Rutten. Short intro, and straight to the fights!


FIGHT: LUKE HARRIS VS. JARED HAMMAN (LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT)

- The referee is Kyle Cardinal.

- The ring card girl looks like Chyna, with a bad red dye job. This is the stuff you want to know.

ROUND ONE: Harris gets Hamman up against the cage after a solid right hand. Hamman gets off the cage for a moment, but he's right back there again. Both guys trading sloppy weak right hands, and Harris has a small cut over his right brow as a result. Hamman is willing to trade in the middle of the cage, and if he keeps that up he's going to be fighting an uphill battle. Hamman is landing at will, and This is going to be stopped soon. After about fifteen unanswered punches Harris drops to his knees, and Cardinal ends the fight.

WINNER: Jared Hamman by TKO at 2:27 of round one.

STAR RATING: (*+) I want to thank Todd Harris for talking about the Compuserve stats. The fight was brought to you by Prodigy, and the fighters are on the AOL Prep Point. Compustrike, Todd. COMPUSTRIKE!

- A two minute fight and no interview. Jared Hamman, now you know how much of a push to expect!


FIGHT: CHRIS HORODECKI VS. LUIS HUETE (FEATHERWEIGHT)

- Five of Huete's wins are by submission. Chris Horodecki is 47 years old, but still looks younger than Danny Downes.

- The referee for this fight is once again Kyle Cardinal.

ROUND ONE: Huete looks good in the standup early on, but is unable to get Horodecki down after the first clinch attempt. Horodecki catches Huete coming in too aggressively and takes him down with a nice trip from the a body lock. Full guard for Horodecki, very close to the cage. Horodecki stands and almost eats an upkick as he dives back in to the guard. Horodecki is unable to get anything off, only occasionally landing a really short right elbow. Horodecki stands, and dives back in to the guard, once again just barely dodging a Huete upkick. One minute left. Which is surprising since this round feels like it's been going for 14 minutes now. Couple elbows from Horodecki find the mark. Horodecki stands and dives back in to guard. 10-9 Horodecki Yawn.

ROUND TWO: Horodecki lands a decent left hook. He catches a Huete body kick and uses it to shove Huete into the fence. THAT WILL TEACH YOU, HUETE! There's been so much wall and stall this weekend that I'm about ready to campaign for electrified fences. Horodecki disengages and we're back to the middle of the cage. Horodecki has the clear advantage on the feet, and illustrates this by knocking him down with a leg kick thrown as Huete was throwing a high kick. Horodecki drops in to full guard, lest he do anything to interest anybody in his flailing career. Congratulations, you can take down bad fighters. Here's a ribbon, now start punching people again. Horodecki plays around in the guard for a while, occasionally landing something that does half the damage that he could do on the feet. Cardinal stands them up. Huete misses a flying knee and lands flat on his back. Seriously. Great technique there, dude. 20-18 Horodecki

ROUND THREE: Both guys come out swinging heavy leather, and each land a nice body kick during the first fun exchange of the fight. Horodecki decides that he doesn't want this fight to be fun, and Lord forbid he do any damage, so he pushes Huete into the cage. Horodecki picks up Huete and plants him on his back. Half-guard for Horodecki. Huete is more useless on his back than, well, insert tasteless joke here. Cardinal stands them up after about 45 seconds. Horodecki pushes Huete into the fence. Jesus Christ Monkeyballs, it's time to electrify the fence already. Takedown, Horodecki. Less than two minutes to go. Huete's committed to keeping Horodecki in tight because that's how you win fights. Cardinal stands them up. Huete misses with a huge uppercut attempt. Todd Harris is such a damn shill. These guys are NOT giving the fans a real show. Jerk. 30-27 Horodecki

WINNER: Chris Horodecki by unanimous decision (30-27 x3)

STAR RATING: I hate Bas Rutten. Stop telling me how great that dirty underwear of a fight was, ok?


FIGHT: DERRICK MEHMEN VS. SMEALINHO RAMA (WSOF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP)

- Bas just told me that Mehmen should either keep the fight standing or take it to the ground. He's overpaid, but REALLY GOOD at mailing it in.

- John Brack is the referee.

ROUND ONE: No touch of gloves. Bas Rutten just had an orgasm because of all the bad blood this implies. Rama lands a huge right hook. Two strikes later Mehman goes down. Rama looks for his neck, but Mehmen gets up. Briefly, as he can't take the onslaught and this fight is over.

WINNER: Smealinho Rama by TKO at 0:51 of round one

STAR RATING: (**) HULK SMASH! Movin on.


FIGHT: JAKE SHIELDS VS. RYAN FORD (WELTERWEIGHT)

- No broadcast has a worst combination of play-by-play, analyst, and ring announcer. They're worse than the UFC Britain team, if only because John Gooden is so excellent.

ROUND ONE: Ford comes out and doesn't cut off Shields' fingers immediately, so he's doomed. Mechanical ankle kick from Shields. Ford staggers Shields with a stiff left. No follow up, because Shields doesn't owe Ford money. Ford avoids a desperate single leg takedown attempt. Shields shoots again and gets stuffed. Ford lands a few knees from the clinch. Shields gets the inevitable takedown and lands in side control. Immediately to mount, very close to the cage. Shields is punching Ford int he back of the head, but they're so gentle that the referee ignores them. Ford rolls to his stomach, and Shields gladly takes his back. He's looking for the rear naked choke. They're seated with Shields on Ford's back. Shields Still has the figure-four, and it seems to be only a matter of time. 90 seconds remain. Shields gives up the figure-four and that baits ford into giving up the neck a little better. He's got a strong head lock on Ford, looking to get under the jaw. He's got it in deep and Ford taps. Inevitable. Jake Shields is one tough son of a bitch, and I love watching him fight squash matches. Just keep him away from guys like Hector Lombard.

WINNER: Jake Shields by submission at 4:29 of round one.

STAR RATING: (***) I really liked this fight. I love watchind Shields when he's up against guys who can't defend. It was a squash, but a fun squash. This was Shields' first finish since submitting UFC Welterweight #1 contender in June, 2009. Shields doesn't deserve to be stuck in the minors. He holds wins over Sakurai, Kikuchi, Imada, Menne, Okami and Condit on the same damn night, Pyle, Daley, Lawler, Mayhem, Dan Freaking Henderson, Kampmann, Akiyama, Woodley, and Maia. And he's stuck fighting Ryan "Shawshank" Ford? Gross. I lust over the idea of Shields vs. Palhares, and would accept him vs. Fitch.
