In all this talk of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix and subsequent rumors of a Lightweight Grand Prix, it seems that some of us are forgetting about the promotion that put on *seven* tournaments last year, without once sucking their own dicks about how awesome they were to pull it off. Well, Bjorn Rebney and company are returning to the airwaves new and improved on March 5th with a new slate of tournaments, and CagePotato wants to keep you abreast of developments. Because we care, Potato Nation, because we care.
Probably the deepest and most talented division in Bellator, eight fighters are entered in the third tournament at 170 pounds. The field is already set, and packed with stars and standouts competing for a large check (see what we did there?) and a date with current welterweight kingpin “Funky” Ben Askren. A full list of the competitors and some highlight vids are after the jump, so now you can discuss the tournament intelligently, should it come up on the golf course or at the dinner table. You’re welcome.
See what we did there? PicProps: FiveKnuckles.comWelcome one and all to 3am A-Hole, where we yell at each other drunkenly after last call in a belligerent manner and misspell stuff. Now, this was originally conceptualized as a streaming major live event on CagePotato, with exclusive interviews planned with Alistair Overeem and Dana White all simultaneous-like. Unfortunately, since neither of them are responding to the messages we Facebooked them, those plans were scrapped. To be honest, we hadn’t figured out the streaming-interview technology anyway, but whatevs, brah. Shit would have been dope.
Anyways, with a firm deadline looming and no White-Overeem love fest to carry us, we decided to go with a Comments of the Week edition. CagePotato posts what it claims to be Comments of the Week, but friends, they are lying to you. We’ve examined documents known as calendars, and we believe we can prove that these jokers are going weeks, sometimes months, between comment reviews. Well, Potato Nation, you can believe that 3am A-Hole is going to pick up the slack. We’ll pick out some comments from roughly the last week for extra appreciation; really good ones might show up on a Comments of the Month column. Hell, we may actually reward you in some material fashion, but don’t hold your breath. Now, you may ask: Why? Oh great Potato, why would you shower us with more attention and entertainment? Well, Nation, it’s because we love you. Also, you love talking about yourselves, and it keeps you occupied while we’re hammered.
