As with every major show, BloodyElbow.com will be here to bring you live results and commentary for Bellator XVIII. The live blog will start with the beginning of the FSN broadcast (at 8PM ET) so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.
As always we have our one rule: NO SPOILERS! In the interest of not ruining anything from the undercard that may make the broadcast we ask that you do not discuss the results of the undercard in the comments until either the broadcast ends or the fight makes the air.
So again, join us for the show and share your thoughts as the event unfolds.
A note: Results are below the fold. Please be aware that while I'll not spoil the live results on the front page, we will not be waiting to talk about the results on the front page. There will likely be multiple articles on the night's action up by tomorrow.
The broadcast is live. First fight up shortly
Georgi Karakhanyan vs. Joe Warren - Round 1- Quick takedown to side control by Warren. Joe stands up for a positional adjustment and Karakhanyanuses it to roll into a kneebar and then a heel hook. That looks deep, but Warren fights out of it. Warren almost getting armbarred now and he escapes again. Warren sliding to half guard now. Warren doing a little damage from the top now. Karakhanyan continuing to look for submissions off the bottom as he stays calm. Warren avoids a triangle attempt and keeps working the body. Karakhanyan scrambles to standing, lands a leg kick and gets taken back down. Warren stands over him and takes an upkick. The round ends and it was 10-9 Warren on takedowns and some ground and pound but he never had Karakhanyan in any sort of trouble. Round 2 - Karakhanyan looks for the takedown early. Karakhanyan with a DEEP guillotine and Warren manages to shake loose. Huge throw from Warren and he has Karakhanyan's back. Karakhanyan spins looking for a leg and misses it. Karakhanyan with a deep armbar now, Warren grimmaces and somehow manages to escape. Warren throws some illegal knees to the spine of Karakhanyan. Warren throwing knees to the thigh and body of Karakhanyan. The round ends with Warren throwing a few punches but I think Karakhanyan should get the nod on the cards with two very close to finished subs. I've got it even going into the third. Round 3 - Karakhanyan tries to punch and Warren with a slam. Back to standing, Karakhanyan lands a big knee and Warren takes him back down. Warren is bleeding from the knee. He's landing punches and Karakhanyan stands up. Warren with another takedown and he's back to throwing knees to the leg. Warren drops and Karakhanyan grabs another VERY TIGHT guillotine. Warren manages to escape yet again. That was a very deep choke. Karakhanyan finishes the round with a few solid clean punches, a kick and a knee. I know it's not the way the fight will actually get scored but Karakhanyan was the only one that did damage or came close to finishing that round so I gave him the fight 29-28, but fully expect three 30-27 cards for Warren. Official Scorecards: 30-27 across the board all for Joe Warren. Takedowns are so much more important than damage or deep submission attempts on the cards that it just isn't funny.
Wilson Reis vs. Patricio Pitbull - Round 1 - Nothing meaningful early in the round. Pitbull avoids going to the ground and Reis lands a leg kick. Left hand counter by Reis lands. Pitbull misses with a punch and Reis takes him down. Reis trying to pass guard and Pitbull trying to keep it with a half butterfly. Reis finally passes to half guard. Pitbull scrambles and reverses to end up on top. Punch lands for Pitbull. Reis escapes and looks for the single to get it back down. The round ends and it was very close with neither man doing much by way of damage or important control. One of the very few times you'll see me score a round 10-10 (although I'm sure Reis got the nod on the judges cards for the early takedown and a little more time on top). Round 2 - High kick from Pitbull is blocked. They clinch up and as they separate Pitbull lands a flying knee and Reis caches his leg to try for a single leg. As Reis holds the leg Pitbull uses a couple jumping knees to the head and Reis lets go of the single. Hard body kick from Pitbull. Pitbull lands a pair of hard punches and avoids the takedown attempt again. Body kick from Pitbull lands again and a leg kick from Reis. Flying knee from Pitbull lands. Another knee lands for Pitbull. Reis bleeding next to his left eye. Reis shoots and eats a knee. The round ends and it was a clear 10-9 Pitbull round. Round 3 - Left hook from Pitbull and as Reis locks up with him Pitbull uses it for a takedown of his own. Reis trying to sweep and Pitbull stands up. Right hook from Pitbull and a body kick, now another right hand. Leg kick from Reis. Reis shoots and a beautiful sprawl from Pitbull. Reis is chasing and missing strikes now. Pitbull countering with right hands. Flying knee just misses. Body kick from Pitbull is caught by Reis and get gets the takedown. Pitbull uses half guard to create space and stand back up. Pitbull on top now landing a few punches. They stand up with 10 seconds and the round ends. I scored it for Pitbull giving him a 30-28 win. Official scorecards: 29-28 across the board, Patricio Pitbull wins by unanimous decision.
Jay Silva vs. Hector Lombard - Round 1 - Hector Lombard comes out, lands a flurry of punches and Jay Silva is unconscious 6 seconds into the fight. ...yikes. Hector Lombard wins by KO, round 1.
Christian Fulgium vs. Charlie Rader - Round 1 - Rader landing some nice strikes and stumbles Fulgium with a jab. Takedown from Rader and he starts to land elbows. More big punches and elbows from Rader. Rader is just pouring it on now. Fulgium stands up and Rader trips him right back down. Rader starts landing big left hands and Fulgium is out. Charlie Rader wins by TKO (punches), round 1.

CSN Philly…you bastards. There’s no Phillies game tonight and game 7 for the Flyers is tomorrow. Would have been the perfect time to show Bellator live instead of delayed to the weekend. Boo-urns.

These guys call everything a "superfight"
By this definition, every UFC card has about 6 superfights.
You are correct.
Every non-tournament fight is being called a super fight.

you guys freaking out over a fight being called a “superfight” are being ridiculous. In the context it is being used it’s the same as calling a bout a “special attraction” it’s just pure old school MMA advertising.

i was thinking the same thing
if this goes to a decision i dont like georgi’s chances of getting the win. i though he won the round but so many judges will give it to warren just because he laid on top.
Other than the heel hook any meaningful offense was Warren’s. Takedowns, ground and pound. I don’t see anything wrong with scoring that round for Warren.

But I do have to say I disagree about the guillotine. While it should count for something, it isn’t “damage.”
I never said it was damage. this was in response to “how he won the round” not what damage was done.

Submissions rarely are
That’s why they’re submissions, you generally stop before you reach the point where any lasting injury is inflicted.
A guy can be one second from going to sleep in a choke, and then escape with no adverse effects beyond a few seconds of clearing the cobwebs. That doesn’t mean the choke was meaningless…it was still one second from ending the fight. I judge very close submissions on roughly the same level as a knock down. But of course, what do I know; those guys are professionals!

I actually hurt myself when trying to apply any submission. I’m going to stick to punching people in the back of the head when they aren’t looking.
A friend of mine tapped out to his own submission hold. He had his sparring partner in an armbar, it wasn’t deep enough so the guy’s elbow was on his balls; he was pulling that arm so hard that he hurt himself in the balls and had to tap out. Weird stuff.

Yeah, heelhooks are seriously dangerous. That said, anyone who really wants to know can just as easily find videos on Youtube to learn how the technique works. Perhaps some kind of a safety disclaimer would have been in order.

Warren pumping his fist as the Brazilians conferred/translated was just great
I hope some kind soul makes a gif of that whole scene
i didn’t know the answer off-hand, but hector lombard’s fight at bellator 12 last season ended in the 4th round. so i guess the answer is yes.

thats what is odd tho, last season was to crown the champion, this season’s finals are to figure out who fights the champion. typically, its only championship fights that are 5 rounds

Very close fight, Curran outstruck Roger a bit. Roger just didn’t look like himself…he always starts slow, but he…stayed slow.

check check check it out
The ref’s fightfinder profile
Not that such a thing really means much, and I didn’t think it was a bad stoppage regardless.
If/when Sherdog implements a referee finder
I hope they have the ability to search by catchphrase, so I can look up that ref who said “COMBAT” to start off the rounds.
Breen makes no bones about wanting a Referee and Judge database, but apparently it’s in Crave’s hands and they aren’t particularly driven.
Nonetheless, I have specifically suggested a catch phrase search feature, as it seems entirely appropriate—the analogue to the nickname search for fighters.
aha. i know of this man. didn’t know he contributed to fight finder though. that’s interesting.

EA always brings the quality
Although it must be said that Dana White was making a Shaq Fu game way before those fucking fuckers.
I’d like to see how Lombard would do against a top 15 fighter even, At this point its the big fish in a small pond, At least with the other weight classes it seems like the champ will have a tough fight against whoever makes it to the final but Lombard should easily dominate any of the remaining MW fighters
Patricio Pitbull needs to go Palhares on that ass.
Karakhanyan could have finished Warren if he was actually going for the kill.
Tap or snap.
Anybody have Comcast in DC?
I don’t know if I’m stupid or if Comcast just sucks (could be a little of column a, and a little of column b) but I can’t ever find Bellator.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
