I think Bellator's erratic matchmaking is on display more often than not, and the fans have to suffer through terrible matchmaking. You can see examples with Paul Daley, which instead of fighting against Neiman, Koreshkov, Amosov, or someone in the top 10, he is fighting Homasi. No disrespect to Homasi but Daley is a big name, why is he fighting a guy who is not ranked at all? I get it that is a fun match-up, but if they wanted to set-up a fun match-up then book Daley vs Raymond Daniels.
Also, after Neiman beat a top 10 opponent in Ruth, he faced a top 5 opponent in Macdonald, and after that...they matched up with Kunimoto. Again, no disrespect to Kunimoto, but Neiman should be a contender, a couple of fights away from a title-shot. Why does he go from top 10 and top 5 opponents to a top 20 opponent? Neiman should be fighting Daley, MVP, Fitch, maybe even Millender if they are looking for a rebound fight but not a guy who is not ranked at all.
Ballator's matchmaking sometimes cheats us of great fights. You dont see things like this in the UFC, there is always consistency in their matchmaking, or at least there is some semblance of consistence most of the time.
