Twitter reacts to Bellator NYC

Bellator NY broadcast live on pay-per-view television from Madison Square Garden. It was intended to be a coming of age for the world’s #2 promotion, but the five-fight main card ended up showing six fights, in a partially reshuffled order, with some bizarre occurrences.

-Chael Sonnen defeated Wanderlei Silva by Unanimous Decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-27)
-Neiman Gracie defeated Dave Marfone by Submission (RNC, Round 2, 2:27)
-Matt Mitrione defeated Fedor Emelianenko by Knockout (Punches, Round 1, 1:14)
-Brent Primus defeated Michael Chandler by TKO (Injury, Round 1, 2:22)
-Zach Freeman defeated Aaron Pico by Submission (Guillotine Choke, Round 1, 0:24)
-Douglas Lima defeated Lorenz Larkin by Unanimous Decision (50-45, 48-47, 48-47)

As always, Twitter reacted.

Lima vs. Larkin was a test of the skill level in Bellator, and like he did with Strikeforce, Scott Coker can find and nurture talent.

Twitter reacted to Chandler vs. Primus being like a chair pulled out from under you, after the ref took it upon himself to bring in the doctor.
