Bobby Lashley will be fighting at Bellator130 against a one Karl Etherington has 9-0 record so he might actually not be a soup can this time. Which is still a big maybe. Etherington is as protected as Lashley. Here's his one Bellator fight. Career 9-0 fighting in 2nd tier England MMA, opponents career record of 11-38. This is a sham of shams and Bellator should be ashamed.

Houston Alexander vs. James Thompson set for Bellator 129 next month. That sounds like such an incredible train wreck, I almost can't wait

Well it's a good thing Wanderlei retired because he just got hit with a lifetime ban from the NSAC.

Nate Diaz returns to the Octagon. He faces Raphael Dos Anjos in the co main of Fox 13. Still weird to me that this first time Arizona card is filled with non Arizona fighters. Very against the norm for the UFC.

While it remains to be see if it would effect the main event of UFC 179 but Jose Aldo was hospitalized for kidney Stones last week.

Well the Bellator 126 main event was very anti climatic as Alexander Shlemenko got taken down and almost instantly got choked out in just 35 seconds in the very first round.
Which sort of begs the question how can guy with nearly 60 fights have such bad submission defense.

Nice to see Shlemenko bounce back from losing horribly to Tito Ortiz by...horribly losing his Middleweight title.
Bummer, man. Bummer.

Lashley gets to maintain top control forever, or until the dude just willingly lets him do a submission. Cool.

Only this time he doesn't have the excuse of fighting someone who looked 3 weight classes his size. Also I noticed on the hype video they got the date of the Tito/Shlemenko fight wrong it happened this year not 2013 Bellator can't remember what year you are guys in.. tisk tisk slack bastards.

Well that did bugger all to help him against Bisping. Also funnily enough Cung is now the third fighter who Brain Stann has publicly accused of cheating and has tested positive not soon after.

Turns out that Cung Le will now be suspended for 12 months.
I guess there is a good chance that his MMA career is now over.
