Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to read my Sunday edition of the blog. Before I go any further, I must share this first. Your winner and NEW Ring of Honor World Champion..... Davey Richards!!!!!! I will discuss the results of ROH Best in the World in a later blog post.
MLB News
Over the weekend, the Yankees head home and hosted the Colorado Rockies in a 3 game series. After a loss on Friday, the Yankees managed to defeat Colorado yesterday and today. The Mets also had the same fate as well as they lost to Texas Rangers on Friday, but recovered yesterday and today as well. Therefore, the Mets made the trip worth it to Arlington, TX where it was triple digit weather down south. Both teams will have off tomorrow and later this week the Yankees will face the Milwaukee Brewers while the Mets make another road trip to Detroit to face the Tigers later this week as well.

As you may know, Bellator Fighting Championships has started their Summer Series yesterday. The difference between the Summer Series and a regular Bellator season is that the Summer Series only has 3 fights and is televised once a month. That means the remainder 2 shows of the summer will take place in July and August respectively. Chronologically in terms of events produced by Bellator, yesterday's event was Bellator 46. Here are the results for Bellator 46:
1. Ronnie Mann def. Adam Schindler via KO near the end of the 1st round
I thought that was a great way to start out the televised portion of the event. Ronnie Mann was very impressive in that bout.
2. Nazareno Malagarie def. Jacob DeVree via Submission in Round 3
After two attempts at the guillotine submission Malagarie made to DeVree, the third attempt proved to be successful.
3. Marlon Sandro def. Genair Da Silva via Split Decision
Both of these guys were from Brazil and also had an upbringing where they were raised from a poor neighborhood. However, Sandro's experience proved to be a benefit for him as he spent 3 years fighting in Japan (and when someone practices combat sports in Japan, you know the rest)
4. Pat Curran def. Luis Palomino via Submission in Round 1
Good conclusion of a fight event though it was a short main event.
Overall, it was a great card. In my opinion, the fights ended a lot sooner than I expected. Which is why I understood why MTV 2 stretched it out a little with non-MMA segments in between to fill up the air time.
Bellator also posted a video, which was their "Highlight of the Night"

As you may know, last week's Monday Night Raw, there were glitches in their specialty show called "Power to the People". The match between Evan Bourne and Mason Ryan was originally scheduled to be Evan Bourne vs Sin Cara, but due to the glitches mentioned... well you know the rest. WWE acknowledged it later in the week and as a way to apologize the fans, tomorrow's episode of Raw will feature an interbrand match between Raw's Evan Bourne vs SmackDown's Sin Cara. Personally, I find it odd that WWE is advertising their cruiserweights ahead of time for Raw since WWE prefers to promote their heavyweights. Nonetheless, I have nothing against it and will be looking forward to the match.
