Yeah, there was (obscene) talk on the net that he'd be cut with a loss to Randy, and his shot came as an injury replacement. I don't think many people put much stock in the fight though, Rampage didn't gain much traction (was scheduled to fight T. Silva, eventually fought Hamill) and Machida still stayed in relevant fights. Wasn't one of those career altering fights like a, say, Diego Sanchez vs. Paolo Thiago, where one guy got the win and went back to the main events while the other tumbled down the card. They fought, it happened, one had a W, one had an L, and they both pretty much stayed the same.
Big Cheicky Kongo fighting on the next Bellator. Against some Brit. Lavar Johnson is on as well. Johnson vs. Kongo sounds a good fight in a "Cheick Kongo will either die or win by submission" kind of way.

He has beaten a man called Caitlin and a man called Hooker.
Make him fight Fallon Fox.

So the MMA websites are already overlooking Kongo and Lavar's opponents, but if recent history has proven anything, the guys who made a name in the UFC, they haven't done so well. I'll be surprised if both guys win. I think I said it a few posts ago that the best thing for Bellator is to have these guys that have somewhat of a name LOSE to the unknown fighters kind of like the UFC did when booking the TUF 1 cast after the finale. After the finale, they were put up against mediocre vets and by winning it made people go "Ok Chris Leben must be pretty good if he dropped Cote and Rivera". Obviously the depth wasn't there back in 2005, but you get the point.
By beating the "UFC guys" it shows that the UFC isn't 110% the place to be as a fighter if they come to Bellator and lose when they were doing ok in the UFC. Now I know that in reality the UFC is the place to be right now, but you get where I'm going.
