Observations from My Couch: Bellator 36 "One Minute You're Kicking Ass, Then BAM!"

• Did Marcin Held not realize that there would be strikes thrown in his bout?  Going for all those submissions was great, but man did he take a beating.
• I don’t know who that was fighting Lloyd Woodard, but it was not Carey Vanier.  The Carey Vanier we saw in the tournament last season was a badass.  This one, not so much.
• Toby Imada: still the slickest submission guy who will never win a championship.
• Sure, Kevin Aguilar handily defeated Matt Hunt, but he’s in trouble when he faces Matt’s brother Mike.
• I’m sorry, that was awful.
• There was a time when Rob McCullough was practically untouchable.  Sadly, thanks to Father Time, he’s very touchable.  Still fun to watch, though.
• Waachiim Spiritwolf vs. Jaime Jara wasn’t so much a bloodbath as it was a blood-sauna, blood-whirlpool, blood-seaweed wrap and blood-spa session.
