Badass stoppage I’d say. Amazing night of fights. Velasquez was stuck had no where to go and caught in Hellbow oblivion. She was going nowhere but Valhalla. Ref maybe saved her life.

Biggest robbery of the night is Mike Beltran stealing my top position from the tapology 'My Picks' ranking in this event.

Wow. Way to rob an undefeated champion who was up 3-0 on the scorecards with only 13 seconds left in the round. She got crucifixed. Sure? But them 4 tiny ass elbows had 0 impact on the fight and she wasn't given a chance to even try to move. What a joke. Mike Beltran should be fired. What a trash can.

Damn 2 solid wins in Bellator now for Barzola, a solid fighter who always comes with great fitness and stamina

Hopefully when they come back to Hawaii they will feature more Hawaii fighters, kind of a lame card for Hawaii, like lets see more hometown guys fight

Finally got to watching the last two fights. What a dumb pick by me going against Barzola. He’s really putting it together and looking good doing so right now.

As far as the main event, idk what the guck that was. Should’ve been 2-2 going into 5 for me. Definitely sketchy stopping it there. Not sure Velasquez would’ve gotten out but wasn’t given the opportunity. It wasn’t anything devastating landing so time should’ve expired.

Playing devils advocate, IF it was bigger shots refs should not care how much times left In fight or round while determining stopping the fight. However, that wasn’t stoppage level damage at all. Shady call for sure.

she's literally flat on her back getting her face smashed, seems to me she had all the time in the world to "move". At 0:16 on the fight clock Liz just starts repeatedly dropping elbows and Velasquez just lays there.

Keep in mind that the winning method was announced as a KO, so Beltran reported that Julianna was out.

Super shady.

If you were on Carmouche

Predictions: 6 of 8 Winners, 3 Perfect, 390 Points | Tied for 65th

especially if you made money, you shouldn't feel the least bit of awful about profiting from whatever decision Beltran made. I feel Carmouche was en route to ending it and/or pulling away in the last round. More importantly, if Velasquez was going to win, so what? How many times have you been proper ****** by bad fighter IQ, bad judging, or bad reffing? You take what the MMA gods give.

A mistake by Beltran you mean?
He still maintains she was out, even after the fight.
