Fucking Bellator will probay match Popov and Bilostenniy in their first fight rather than build them up. If they play their cards right, they can build a healthy HW division.Definitely. I think most upper-tier wrestlers could hypothetically beat him if they were able to survive and tire him out.
He is a prospect that is still developing. While he may have a championship level ceiling he definitely needs to improve his wrestling and conditioning to realize his full potential in the sport.
From what I read it sounded as though he had been having a hard time getting fights in Russia since he left ACA, so perhaps signing with an international promotion like Bellator is what he needed to make the most of everything.
They should make a play for Cappelozza, Delija, and/or Ferriera for PFL next. They seem to have shit contracts and could be open to move.
