Kimbo vs Dada just set the sport back a solid 10 years. After Shamrock vs Gracie we may be back in the dark ages.

— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) February 20, 2016

Both of these men are legit f*cking pioneers. Would be nice if the sport honored them in such a way that they didn't HAVE to fight.

— Roy Nelson (@roynelsonmma) February 20, 2016

How much you wanna bet that Kimbo tries to find out if his nuts are bigger than Kens at the press conference? #BabyNuts #GrandaddyNuts

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) February 20, 2016

In all serious I can't have anymore respect for how Ken&Royce paved the way for the UFC to build the sport to what it is today

— Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) February 20, 2016

But it is sad that they are still fighting and are not content with their legacy and their $ situation

The fix is in

— Justin Gaethje (@Justin_Gaethje) February 20, 2016

I think kimbo is trying to throw this fight but can't find a reason to fall down. He's not throwing punches at dada?

— Justin Wren MMA (@TheBigPygmy) February 20, 2016

Why am I watching this garbage! So many talented fighters in this world who would love to be on that stage and can actually fight!

— Patricky Freire (@PatrickyPitbull) February 20, 2016

This is amazing. Just...just give him the whole mic. Just let Mike talk.

— Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) February 20, 2016

They're swinging. Deff won't go 3 rounds. #Bellator149

Wow, Melvin KO'd hard... in Bellator! #Bellator149

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) February 20, 2016

And this is why he said no to me. I said not to underestimate @DC3Stallion. @BellatorMMA Lightweights are strong!

— Patricky Freire (@PatrickyPitbull) February 20, 2016

GET HIM SOME ICE

Lets go @LDV_TheSwarm

— Abel Trujillo (@KillaTrujillo) February 20, 2016

Apparently, your chakra is in your junk, and it just got kicked. #Bellator149

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) February 20, 2016

Emanuel Newton looks like a middle weight compared to Vassel

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) February 20, 2016

Newton is probably the worst person to corner in the world. He gets in so many terrible positions but fights through them. #awkwardbeast

— Tony Martin (@tmartinmma) February 20, 2016

If knees to a grounded opponent are ever legalized (like in Pride), man, are some grapplers and wrestlers going to be screwed. #Bellator149

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) February 20, 2016

Newton may have had sex last night, but Vassell won't be tonight. #Bellator149

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) February 20, 2016

Fence grabs and nut shots....I HATE when I don't know who the heel is! #Bellator149

— Shayna Baszler (@QoSBaszler) February 20, 2016

More nut shots than an open bar only stocked with Frangelico! #Bellator149 @SchiavelloVOICE

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) February 20, 2016

At this point, if Newton doesn't kick him in the junk again, I'll be disappointed. #Bellator149
