Personally, I dont mind fights like Baroni/Karo or Thompson/Lashley in order to move ONE on to the tournament for name value...
As much as Bellator wants to build new talent, no one watching SpikeTV casually tunes into a card full of unknown prospects on their way up... Allowing the aging 'meh's of MMA to fight each other for a spot is a great way to bring in a 'name' without handing out too many tourney spots to undeserving 'names'...
Im quite positive that the UFC actively puts together fights with less talent and less interest, albeit mostly on their undercards... Why no beef for every fight they give on FS1 or FightPass that isnt perfect?
Seriously though, getting bent out of shape because Bellator is giving two career MMA fighters/entertainers a fight against each other on one of their many cards... Thats just lame and really trying to split hairs to find issues... I suppose all those career MMA fighters who we entertained ourselves by watching while the sport grew, they dont deserve a paycheck anymore, eh?
