No idea really. I feel like it's going to be a lot of fun watching though. Some exiting fights there.
This is what Rory wanted. What's the point of a tournament belt when you have the real belt on the line?Am I the only one who thinks its absolute BS that this isn't a tournament belt, and a guy who's fighting a 5 round battle with the champ of a higher weight class is THEN EXPECTED to defend his belt multiple times in a tournament immediately after?
Larkin is like 1-2 in Bellator and I'd be lying if I said I knew who Amosov was before this tournament.Why are Ruth and Gracie fighting each other? Shouldn't they both be bottom ranked in this list? I've never heard of either of them
This is a great GP. I am going with Koreshkov and MVP in the end. Cannot wait for Daley/MVP. Been hoping to see that match for a long time.

Tough dude. Maybe he wants to go on a career defining run? Imagine if a year from now he's a two division champion with 3 WW title défenses?
Besides, if Phil Davis won a prize belt for a 4 man tournament, I'm sure the winner of this will get something special a la the PRIDE LW and MW GPs.
Why do you go with Koreshkov - he already lost to Lima and I don't think he got anything for Ruth, which he will face in the end. MVP will be Koreshkov's opponent in the finals arealdy mate.

In a nutshell, Ed Ruth is one of those college wrestlers that Coker has built up. Is undefeated. He has faced some decent competition in his last 3. Nobody with a losing record, or anything like that. He's had some KO's here and there.
Neiman Gracie is kinda like Ruth, except not a college wrestling standout. Instead of TUF vets and journeymen, Gracie has faced mostly Chef Boyardee quality cans. Think MVP without the charisma, stand-up skills, or any of that. Has he beat anyone good? Meh, not really. One can say he hasn't really been tested yet.
If it's possible to have Lima/MVP in the finals, that would be a good pick as well. I haven't seen the bracket layout.
