Bellator's tournament GP structure is messed up.

I hope Bellator President Scott Coker is reading this thread because the way he conducts a Grand Prix Tournament is different on what we used to,

And it is giving some massive confusion (especially the Welterweight Grand Prix).

1st Event - 8 Man GP
2nd Event - Semi-Final GP
3rd Event - Final GP

All the GP Tournament can be finish in 3 events in 1 year,

And yet look at how stupid and confusing the Bellator Grand Prix.

I hope they bring the original Bellator Tournament format on their next Grand Prix.

This is how a tournament should be done.

1st Event - 8 Man GP
2nd Event - Semi-Final GP
3rd Event - Final GP

I don't think Coker needs to read this thread.
Of course he knows that format is an option.
But he is an EMPLOYEE of Viacom whom are both content providers & content distributors.
They make the big calls

I know, but for crying out loud I can't believe how they ruined the original tournament format.

That is fair
I felt the same way, but its not about tradition, its aboput spreading out the big names/fights

Look at the MSG PPV they did
they put a shitload of big names on one cards & lost millions bc the PPV bombed
That had to tie Cokers hands

I hope someone can send this to Scott Scoker (maybe Sherdog can).
