As with every major show, Bloody Elbow will be here to bring you live results, play by play and commentary for Bellator 48. The live blog will start with the beginning of the MTV 2 broadcast (9 p.m. ET) so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.
The event is headlined by the featherweight tournament final between Marlon Sandro and Pat Curran. Also on the card, Bellator heavyweight champion Cole Konrad battles UFC veteran Paul Buentello in a non-title fight. Seth Petruzelli, most famous for his TKO win over Kimbo Slice, will fight former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco Rodriguez. The final fight scheduled for the MTV 2 broadcast is a lightweight fight between Juan Barrantes and Rene Nazare.
It is one of the better cards in the young history of Bellator so make sure to come back during the event and share your thoughts as the event goes down.
The MTV 2 Broadcast is live. First fight up shortly.
Juan Barrantes vs. Rene Nazare - Round 1 - Nazare is upwards of a -1500 favorite here and he is blasting Barrantes with punches early. Nazare is tagging him with punches and a big head kick that buckles Barrantes' knees. Barrantes tried to trade with him in a flurry but Nazare had the far better accuracy. Nazare with a takedown and there is a lot of blood coming from around the nose of Barrantes. Barrantes tries to get his legs up for a triangle or armbar but Nazare avoids any trouble at all. Nazare looks for a guillotine as the round ends but can't finish it. 10-8 Nazare, Barrantes did nothing.
Round 2 - Barrantes tries to come out aggressive but Nazare is just tight with his defense and lands a few strikes before getting the takedown. Nazare working effectively from inside the half guard of Barrantes. Barrantes is eventually able to sweep the much better Nazare but they end up back standing. Nice uppercuts by Nazare hurt his opponent but he elects for another takedown. THe round ends and it was another clear one for Nazare.
Before the third round begins the doctor calls an end as Barrantes' eye was completely swollen shut.
Rene Nazare wins by TKO (doctor stoppage), round 2.
Seth Petruzelli vs. Ricco Rodriguez - Round 1 - Feeling out briefly before Ricco throws the headkick which gets blocked. Ricco running in looking for the takedown and can't get a clinch established. Petruzelli with a right hand that gets through. Spinning back kick by Petruzelli lands right to the cup and we're on a break while Rodriguez recovers. They restart and so far Ricco just looks like he may be far too slow to get anything done. Ricco tries to jump in and eats a punch. Rodriguez falls to his back and now Petruzelli is on top but he makes Ricco stand back up. Ricco continues pushing for a takedown and can't get it and now he gets tagged a few times and he looks very tired. Petruzelli with a nice right hand. Petruzelli with a few spinning backfists and a right hand and Ricco drops! Petruzelli follows up with huge ground and pound, continuing until the referee calls a halt. Seth Petruzelli wins by TKO (strikes), round 1.
Cole Konrad vs. Paul Buentello - Round 1 - Konrad pumping his jab out there without really landing it but now lands a nice jab and a few leg kicks. Buentello isn't really letting his hands go and continues to eat leg kicks as he is giving Konrad no reason to not be comfortable. Buentello finally lands a left hand but then backs off. Two jabs by Buentello but he eats another leg kick. Uppercut by Buentello just misses. Leg kick by Konrad again and another jab. The round ends and it was all stand-up and 10-9 Konrad.
Round 2 - Buentello looks like he intends on being more aggressive and Konrad keeps looking to jab. Buentello just keeps trying to move away and is not exploiting the openings Konrad is leaving which is very frustrating to watch. This fight has been awful in a totally different way than anyone expected. Finally Konrad shoots and he can't get the takedown. Konrad continuing to work the leg kicks. Buentello misses with the uppercut again. 10-9 Konrad again, I guess.
Round 3 - Konrad lands a punch roughly a minute in and Buentello falls to the ground and Konrad is on his back landing punches. He looks for a choke but can't get it. Now Konrad is just on top landing a few punches and will likely look to ride out the rest of the fight. They're stood up with a little over a minute left and there is some loose tape on the glove of Konrad and again they're restarted. Buentello throws a few jabs at the very tired Konrad. Uppercut again by Buentello misses. 10-9 Konrad again. Bad fight.
Official Scorecards: 29-28, 30-27, 30-27 all for Cole Konrad. Cole Konrad wins by unanimous decision.
Marlon Sandro vs. Pat Curran - Round 1 - Both men throw right hands that miss, they're trading but neither man lands hard until a Sandro leg kick. Curran tries for a jumping knee and eats a big right hand for his trouble. Leg kick by Sandro. Left hand lands for Sandro and he lands an uppercut after. Sandro is landing early and that may force Curran off his game. Body kick lands for Curran. Sandro is wide (as he usually is) with his strikes from time to time but has not gotten caught by Curran yet. Body kick by Curran lands. 10-9 Sandro
Round 2 - Leg kick lands for Sandro. Sandro lands in an exchange and in another exchange both men land but Curran lands harder. Right hand by Sandro lands. A right straight and an uppercut that follows both land for Sandro. Three punch combo by Sandro. Curran has a cut on the outside of his left eye. Curran misses a head kick. Nice body kick by Curran lands. Head kick lands for Curran and Sandro goes down! Follow up punches by Curran and it's over! OH MY! that was insane! Pat Curran wins by KO (head kick, punches), round 2.

I think in 5 years when bellator has run it’s course and their fighters have fought in other orgs, people will be surprised at how much talent they developed and how successful that talent is.

If Sandro loses, that’s a guy ranked in the top 5 that would drop considerably. So could “shake the foundations” of the division

Any real fighters can chime in here
But if I was in an MMA fight on the bottom, unless I am Maia or BJ I am saying “fuck that” to all submission attempts and going for either a sweep or kicking out and creating enough space to stand up.

I am saying in a real MMA fight though.
And in my humble opinion, while I think BJJ is the single most important art to be proficient in – it would benefit greatly from teaching more takedowns and starting from the feet.

looks like his right hand is at his waist and his left hand is at his chest to me. neither were protecting his head, and Curran had been throwing kicks before that. Sandro should have known better.

At the end of the day he wasn't fully covering up
But he was using good defensive techniques…for boxing.
Curran noticed this and started adding kicks to his strikes and came up big.
But to sit back and act like Sandros chin was in the air and both hands were on his hips is just silly to me. He was doing fine but head movement doesn’t protect you from every strike in the book.

Just pass the ball around. Put the back-ups in. It’s called mercy. Most teams show some rather than running up the score some more.

So what is your point again? Curran is trying to kill somebody for landing two blows before the ref got there?

Curran had to run from half a cage away to get to Sandro.

They just fight until the referee stops it.
That’s like … how it works, man. Fighters don’t stop the fight. Refs do.

So, if the ref doesn't stop it...
…you just punch till the guy is dead? Right.
Many fighters out there have showed self control during a fight when a ref is not involved fast enough.

Many fighters?
Sure, it happens occasionally. But if you’ve been watching MMA for any length of time, you know that is the exception, not the rule. It’s not like Curran was punching an unconscious body over and over again (see Carwin-Mir), with adrenaline flowing he threw a couple of shots past the point he needed to. It happens. A lot. Get over it.
Those were half-hearted shots. If he really wanted to hurt him he would have dropped elbows.

What did you think it was?
Hyperbole – the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.
What else can I explain to you today, Dallas? I like our chats.

You're alright
But I dislike your trend of talking shit about one of the fighters for some fictional reason that only makes sense to you.
No offense. I respect everything besides that about you. I’m one of those people that believes you can respect fighters without being an obsequious fanboy.

DW, I don't mind you at all. You are quite like me which is why we butt heads.
Like I said, I am really not one to bitch about shots like that. I mean, I get mad at some other shit, but I’ve had concussion problems since I was a kid playing ice hockey (I’ve had about 10 of them). Shit isn’t a joke, so I have a bit of a personal agenda when it comes to that.
I’m not really talking shit at all on Curran, either. I think he should have showed some self restraint, but I’m not liking or disliking the guy any more now than I did or didn’t before (I actually like him a lot more at 145 than 155 since I think he was way too cautious at 155).

It sort of looked like Sandro was starting to sit up. Curran didn’t land vicious shots, but he had no choice but to hit him. At least, that’s how it looked to me live.

Damn that kick put him out instantly.
Curran cleaning up in Bellator. He may not want back in the UFC. Konrad fight sucked quite badly.
If heavyweight isn't the toughest division in the UFC, then why doesn't someone that can kick their asses move to it? They don’t even have to cut weight!!
That undercard fight they showed as filler had a nice finish with the one guy taking a nap before remembering to tap. Sandro was the second guy to go to sleep tonight. Pretty high percentage of that for a small card.

The way that 2nd round unfolded was unique. Curran tried to plow forward like his corner told him and he got beat up badly in the process, which gave Sandro the confidence to start dempsey rolling in kicking range for some reason, which gave Curran an opportunity to knock his block off.
Hopefully people will take the right message away from this fight (Curran, despite his quirks, is an elite FW) and not the ignorant one (Sandro doesn’t fight in UFC and lost so therefore he was never good).
curran isnt elite
sure hes good, but not elite. sandro really didnt look all that good in this tournament and really hasnt looked good since he ko’d kanehara a year ago. i dont know what was going on but against hioki, da silva, and malegarie he simply didnt look like the elite fighter he proved himself to be
and i think curran goes .500 in the ufc fw division, sure i might be biased since i’m just not a big fan of his him but i still think aldo, mendes, poirer, koch , hioki (again) and florian (maybe, i still hate him at 45) are all superior fighters and beat him more times then not

If he’s not top 10 he’s not far from it. The guy’s only turning 24 this month. Tons of upside to him if he keeps developing.

absolutely
i’ll give the guy his props, hes looked very improved at fw and is evolving at a nice pace. hes also young and has good wrestling, striking defense, and power for the weight class
hes a good tough fighter, but at this stage of the game he simply cant be considered one of the elite guys at 145.
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
"Você ta fudido. Se vai levar muita porrada, ta ligado?" - Anderson Silva
i think im just hesitant to label guys as elite
especially when they’ve only ever beaten one top ten fighter in their entire career
curran has plenty of holes in his game and in my mind is 3-3 in his past 6. his improvement has been fantastic, but its far too early to call him elite or top 5.
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
"Você ta fudido. Se vai levar muita porrada, ta ligado?" - Anderson Silva
Not top 5, but Palomino, Mann and Sandro is a good enough run of wins to put you in the top 10 at FW, even without the advantage of being in the UFC. He certainly has a better case than, say, Kenny Florian (3-2 in his last 5 for real). And his defensive abilities are certainly elite, so as long as he fights smart I see him having consistent success at a high level.
yea seeing florian and tyson griffin ranked at all in the fw division bothers me
i dont see either guy making any noise in the division besides being bodies for the young up and comers of the division to violently knock out. between them they have 2 shitty wins at fw against nunes and manny who really shouldnt have been anywhere near a top 10 fighter list
top 5 in my mind=elite, and curran just isnt that good yet. but hes starting to actually get some offense off and stop fighting so damn passively which is only gonna help him
"I have smoked weed with alot of UFC champions" - Joe Rogan
"Você ta fudido. Se vai levar muita porrada, ta ligado?" - Anderson Silva
When the fuck did Luis Palomino and Ronnie Mann become world beaters?
Curran is a nice prospect, but he had questionable wins over Huerta and Imada (very questionable in the case of the Imada fight), got beat pretty convincingly by Eddie Alvarez, and has one nice win over Sandro. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here.

I absolutely agree that Curran is not an ignorant fighter. He looked calm and calculating. That type of poise against a guy that fights the style that Sandro does can’t be easy. I am not sure about Curran being an elite FW but he is definitely showing high level fight intellect.

Just rewatched the fight, and damn, the way he sets Sandro up for that head kick is absolutely a thing of beauty. Perfect timing and strategy.

Big Tan Dan stop that fight twice? I know I know, heat of the moment and all……but IMO that’s one of the most egregious mistakes a ref can make…stop it or don’t. None of this half-assed hands on the fighter, oh no I changed my mind, crap.
