Admittedly years past I saw Bellator as a second tier org with UFC cast offs and prime guys looking to get into the UFC...
since Bjorn dickrider got canned, Coker took over, The Frittitas sold with WME at the helm, things have changed significantly. Not only does Bellator have fighters that are UFC level, they are still prime and the competition between the orgs has never been closer. All Bellator needs to do is get a deeper roster while doing less events and they will have a better product. WME depends entirely too much on the UFC name and less on their actual talent. We are watching the MMA landscape shift slowly but surely.
