I'll give a quick mention to Jan Blachowicz v Ronaldo Souza. I didn't see the fight but he did a lot better with the move up than Jan's previous opponent Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman. Rockhold put on some size and couldn't utilise his take downs against Jan. Weidman didn't have the strength to take Dominick Reyes down either. So for Jacare to go three rounds without getting completely outclassed and/or ko'd looks good from my perspective. I know Anthony Smith had success moving up but he's the right size for the division and Jacare isn't very big at light heavyweight. That's why it seems impressive to me, even though he ultimately lost by decision.
Bellator Dublin has been announced for February 22nd. I had an idea it'd be that date and was wondering whether I'd go or not. I had planned to book a hotel for that date with the option to cancel or rearrange if it wasn't happening or on a different date. But I kept procrastinating. Now that it's official hotels will be expensive if they weren't already. The cancelled main event from September will be the main in February - Gallagher v Ellenor. Tickets are on sale November 29th. I'd like to go but am in two minds because of the expense.
