UFC doesn't seem to be that interested tbh, which is a shame because Aljo could be one of the best BW's on their roster.
But I guess they would rather have Cruz fight Faber again then fight Dillashaw again then fight Faber again.

Jimmie Rivera is in the UFC, Chad Robichaux is 40 years old and hasn't fought in over two years, Tito Jones is a 34 year old 11-8 fighter, and so on.
Just listing fighters doesn't make it "awesome."

With guys like Dantas, Warren, Galvao, and Caldwell, Sterling should be able to fit right in.

Maybe not, but there are like 4 really good prospects and 4 really good current fighters on that list.

if anything WSOF needs to fold. Bellator could really use some of these guys and Moraes altho i would love to see him in Bellator should be heading to the ufc where he belongs.

i havent seen enough of these guys and WSOF lately to agree or disagree with you but if they are as good as you think they are ( i know Moraes is legit ) then these guys deserve a bigger platform.

I didn't see anything in Bekbulat's performance against Josh Hill that would lead me to believe he would beat Moraes.

This was always pretty obvious Bellator and Viacom live the ex Ufc fighters with Big names.
They've shown little interest in young fighters. This is why they don't compare to Strikeforce

Exactly, Strikeforce was built partially by bush leagues like their Challengers, Pride was built by Rings. But in order to develop this new talent they need the big names to draw the crowd. Also, WTF are they gonna do about SPIKE?
I mean obviously it'd be a shame for the UFC Bantamweight division to lose one of it's best fighters. But personally it would not shock me in the least if Aljamain heads to Bellator. As we've seen with their signing of Bendo as well as the announcement of him getting a title shot right off the bat. They are willing to go all out for talent and if Aljamain can get the same deal it honestly wouldn't shock me if he was soon their Champion.
You guys fail to remember that Aljo is a member of the Serra-Longo. Besides the regional Orgs on the East coast, no member of S-L fought team has signed outside if the UFC. So if Sterling signs with Bellator then he's probably leaving to join another team. IMO, Serra wants nothing to do with Bellator, he's a UFC guy thru n thru.

Why would he leave? Serra has many fighters who fight in many organizations. Did you not watch looking for a fight"?

Just don't quit on TUF and you'll be fine.
If you read my post, you won't have asked that question. CFFC n ROC are regional promos up here in the east coast similar to Titan FC down south, Legacy for the Midwest and so on. Bellator is a main competitor to the UFC. Thise other Promos are feeders for the Big 3
