This weekend should be interesting. Bellator takes a shot at PPV with some of the best fighters on their roster in Madison Square Garden.
Friday
nothing
Saturday
3pm - (Fightpass) - Cage Warriors 85
Judging by Tapology rankings, this is average quality by local promotion standards
7pm TV - (5pm internet/7pm Spike/9pm PPV) - Bellator 180 Chael Sonnen vs Wanderlei Silva
For the 2nd time in the promotion's history, Bellator will attempt to sell a main card on PPV. The card is fantastic by Bellator standards, and would be pretty good by UFC free TV standards, but is it worth paying for? Well, they priced it $10 less than UFC, so maybe.
Sunday
6pm TV - (4:30pm Fightpass/6pm FS2/8pm FS1) - UFC Fight Night Chiesa vs Lee
After Bellator announced their big MSG event, the UFC decided to step slightly out of the way with a Sunday card. I'm only now taking a look at it, and this is a great card for free TV. Its only a title fight short of being PPV quality.
There won't be much next weekend, but after that the UFC will have events for at least 5 weekends in a row.
