Bellator 206: Gegard Mousasi vs. Rory MacDonald & Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva IV RBR

Douglas Lima vs. Andrey Koreshkov III - 5 rounds at Welterweight

 

The real co-headliner as far as I'm concerned.

 

10-9 Koreshkov

 

10-9 Lima

 

10-9 Lima close

 

10-9 Lima

 

Well that's a definitive close to their chapter. Well done from Lima, but I thought Koreshkov could have put forth a better effort than that. Rear naked choke for Lima in the 5th round. Koreshkov opts to fall asleep instead of tapping. But it wouldn't have mattered, Lima won all but one round on my card.

 

Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva IV - 3 rounds at Heavyweight

 

Rooting for Wanderlei but all logic lends to his getting sparked again. Rampage is fat and lazy but he's still powerful with his durability intact. Wanderlei had that stolen from him by Cro Cop, Hunt, Hendo and of course Jackson over 10 years ago now. Hard to see anything other than a Jackson win by KO. He held his own with Mo and others recently, only looking **** against Sonnen who just outwrestled him. As far as brawling goes he has more to offer at this point than Silva.

 

I can see this too. Silva will have a speed advantage. But the chin and defensive issues are still there. Jackson poleaxes him again.

 

This won't go to the ground until the other guy is sent there from the result of a strike!

 

Jacksons catches Silva with a hard left hook! Silva somehow remains vertical!

 

10-9 Jackson
