How A Bad Booking Broke A Company 

The most surprising bit was that Jon Anik commentated for Bellator

From the title I thought it was going to be Kimbo Slice vs. Seth Petruzelli destroying EliteXC.

Tito's appearance in TNA, him strolling down the ramp, the crossed arms, & him nodding, was & is such a meme in pro-wrestling fandom for how awkward the moment was!

A Tom Ransom minidoc on a random Thursday? Count me in.

Gotta love Tom's completely random and insignificant stories. They're so fucking good.

Tito attempting talking is still one of the biggest hilarities in the history of mma. 😂

ahhhh so thats where kevin lee fits into this

This is the type of content that keeps me coming back

Love to see jason and tom doing videos. They are the reason i watch this channel from back in the day.

The old school bellator tournaments were awesome

I swear Tito's brain jus tells him "just keep saying words dawg... Just keep saying em. They dont make any fuckin sense, but keep doin what you're doin!"

These are the kind of videos us fans want. Stop the podcast crap and go back to this being the norm!

Shlemenko is the only guy Hector Lombard didn't knock out in Bellator

These videos outshine the podcast ones significantly.

Love everyone who's joined over the years, but I have missed Tom vids.

Oh dear lord, the days when Dixie Carter was running TNA into the ground at the same time

Good thing Tito’s hand were around Cyborg as solidly as possible

"You have to have quality fights to have someone stay in on a Saturday" Boy dana that aged about as well as milk.

Not including the Ken Anderson face during Tito's TNA debut is a bold choice. Genuine comedy gold

What was crazy is they fired Bjorn, brought in Coker which absolutely destroyed Bellators credibility with Kimbo DaDa, worse than Bjorn ever did.

The music really ruined this video. It drowns out all the talking.

These are my favorite types of videos. The longer documentary style videos

This is the type of content that really puts MMAonPoint in the spotlight. More of this please, the podcast videos are really not helping your channel IMHO(At least I myself do not really enjoy it)

Toiling in the kitchen on a 14 day stretch, and this gem drops in my lap, ty for keeping me sane all these hours!

These are my favorite kind of videos on this channel. Keep them coming brother

The editing and music in this video is sick

More of these please. Love mma stories I had no knowledge about

We need more Tom!!!

The UFC is on the downside sadly. One FC free Fri fights are be then most UFC PPV now. And let’s not talk about the Sphere….

Good to see you back, Tom. Great video!

It's been 80 years since we've seen and heard Tom 😂

I was at Bellator 120 live. All the fights (from prelim to main card) were great except king Mo vs Rampage. The pacing of the card was terrible. Im a big fan of Storm but as soon as Tito vs Storm was announced i thought it was a terrible matchup for storm. An undersized middleweight striker vs a big LHW wrestler. Honestly they looked 2 weight classes apart.

Love seeing Tom back doing videos! He was definitely doing it more when I first subscribed.

Was just thinking the other day that it had been a while since Tom did a video. Nice!

Matchmaking onscreen That's great That's the alternative needed. If only some company would do this

Coker is what really killed this company. Getting rid of the tournament format and signing 50 year olds as your main events

Missed you Tom. Love the new guys but the OGs are just awesome. Loved to see your growth from 1000 subs. Alwyas was a fan of the channel always will be. Especially with sick pieces like this. Keep on keepin on.

Did no one watch this before uploading to see the massive discrepancy between the audio of the music and narration portions of the video?

Nice to have you back tom

Love this style of video, excellent!

Absolutely love to see Tom back that side of the camera. I might have seen 1 or 2 mmaop vids without having subscribed, then I saw the one where he was doing shots throughout the video, on a second take after loosing the footage of the first. It was hilarious, it was possibly a little stupid, but it showed the dedication he had to his craft. If you've never done any videos for RU-vid, you really don't know how much work and effort it requires to produce content at the level they do. Or if you have but never lost any footage, you don't know how devastatingly heart breaking and demotivating it is. I subbed right away.

Great video, really like this format

Tom should host more videos like this! Great work! ❤

There are 3 types of people. People who think HEMA is cool, people who think they are too cool to think HEMA is cool and people who haven’t heard of HEMA yet lol.

Tom docuseries is what I need in my life

Love the videos Tom produces and how much detailed they are, he does a great job breaking down timelines. Keep them coming bredren! 👊🏾

Great stuff Tom. I had forgotten how snappy your writing and delivery is. Immediately reminded me of Will Buxton’s style actually. You’ve all got your own style for sure I quite like the cadence. Also whoever edited this was great this felt much different with media/fight commentary overlain not just moving images. I know that’s not always possible or cost effective but even just using commentary or press piece quotes audio only to advance the story was done really well here

Amazing piece of work

Quality video. i never thought i needed this in my life but damn. i had no clue that's how bjorn left belator and how coker got in! well done and welcome back to this type of videos! you did amazing

This was a great video - please do more like this 😊❤

Great job on the video

I would love it if these short documentary videos w/ Tom are a regular occurrence, I just hope they are more of a bi-weekly, or even once a month thing. They're a great palate-cleansing tone-shift from the usual content, but the research, editing, and writing of it would benefit so much from the extra time between uploads. It's even more educational than normal, and it further proves why this team is killing it with content and genuinely cares about the sport and people that support it/their viewers as well.

What a story and what a way to narrate it, loved it

it amused me that he said "the best in the world" over the graphic of CM Punk whos moniker in WWE is just that...but ironically in UFC hes the only one who wasnt that

Love the formatting of this vid, beautiful work, keep em coming Tom.

Great content dude ! More of this please 🙏

Terrible Editing!! I can barely hear the Voice Over

I miss when UFC had competition.. UFC is in there 10-17 wwe era

This was such a well made, well written piece. Would love to see more from Tom!

Tito and that press conference was hilarious

Tom you are a true G please produce more content like this... You are a key solo piece to the team.

Loved the video! Always great to remember the infamous episodes of the MMA history. Thank you!

Production quality in this video is off the charts. Beautiful! The content is great as well

Please more videos like this and not whatever the hell the last one was

Well done man! I’ll be waiting for your next vids like this.

14:43 the size difference was insane

It’s a business. What makes sense to purists is not always good for business. Purists do not pay the bills, casuals do. Like every sport or entertainment company in the world. It’s the truth, like it or not.

Great video Tom, would love to see more of these!

Y’all cannot blame Björn for the complete collapse of Bellator. In my opinion, the advertising was best when he was leading the company when he left. I didn’t know when the fights were on until they were off so blame whoever after.

REALLY enjoyed this video.

That was good, interesting well put together video. Looking forward to more like it

Шлеменко легенда,даже проигрывая не стучит!

Being a Shlemenko fanboy in 2014, that time was a rough one. Lost to Tito, lost the MW title to Brandon Halsey in seconds, and tested positive after a really cool KO of Melvin Manhoef. Depressing af. Completely ignored Shlemenko having a close fight with Mousasi in his Bellator debut but that’s cool, I guess lol.

Excellent video

Honestly Shlemenko isn't that big even as a middle weight. He probably could have made welterweight. I mean Douglas Lima was bigger than him

We respect our hard work Tom ❤

That Tito press conference clip was BRUTAL to watch😂

I love this style of videos, the round table disscusions are #2. IF O'Malley wins ill budget to be an HOF of this channel. Some one remind me next weekend when Suga wins (: (yes im poor, i just graduated college. please do not hate)

I forgot about this! As a Bellator fanatic at the time I was devastated watching this occur.

I would love to see documentaries on fight gyms, how it started, coaches, fighters, champs, rise and falls, when they boomed. Kinda like the Catch as catch can with the Snake Pit

This was badass man great video

Great video.

It’s been 3000 years since the last solo Tom video

Yes, more from Tom would be cool. Hope to see it soon

Great video. Awesome narration as well. 😊

Yeah this was the best video the channel has put out since the One hydration video

Exactly the type of content that I love. In-depth analysis of not so long ago MMA outside of the UFC that no other channel would make🫡

Great narrating Tom

This is a great video on a less discussed topic, it’s a shame that bellator’s later reputation as a retirement home will overshadow those early tournaments and the real potential it had

Love this, I’d love more videos like this

Great content but maybe tune the music down a bit. Might just be me but struggled to hear the commentary at times.

For me, ONE Championship will always be on par with the UFC. They have the talent and the format and their live production is great

Love these videos! Keep em up!

Tom!!! Good to see ya bud

Those early Bellator fights bring back memories.

I'm still waiting for the Greatest Rivalry fight-series Trilogy in MMA History.... Chandler vs. Alvarez III. Bellator 120 was going to have this fight, as the maiden PPV card in it's history, but the "MMA gods" looked downupon such a great series and frowned. Alvarez got a concussion 8 days flprior to fight-day and the fight never happened. That was the beginning of the end of Bellator, which us what ai thought this video would be about: the backstory with Eddie Alvarez and Bjorn Rebney, etc. However I was satisfied with getting an almost-perfect Quadrilogy fight-series between Figgy & Moreno. 👌🏽🤟🏽

Excellent video 👊🏼

9:21 Good lord I could listen to Tito try public speaking all day long. HOW does anyone let that guy get behind a mic?? His business partners had to have known it was a bad idea. Fun for us as fans, though.

What's Good O.G Tom ✌🏼 MMA Right On Point 💯

I like all of the voices for the channel. You all do pretty well with your research and the videos are good but i will shout out ole Tom here dont know what it is but he finds those topics you dont really think about but want to know about once you do.
