Is it safe to say....Bellator WW champ >>> UFC WW Champ?
The question wasn't about prestige, it was about skill.Macdonald would win again but that doesnt mean the Bellator belt is more prestigious. Just a bad style matchup
Lima is better than Woodley. He will beat Rory.Is it safe to say....Bellator WW champ >>> UFC WW Champ?
If Rory beats Lima, it doesnt mean it takes more skill to win the Bellator belt. The UFC will still have more talent at WW. Just a bad style matchupThe question wasn't about prestige, it was about skill.
Just imagine if Bellator gets Gus for example. UFC LHW is dead after Cormier retires.I think there is a presumption that the UFC is always the best and the other MMA organizations are not competitive. However, that was proven false with Strikeforce. Many Strikeforce fighters came into the UFC and did exceptionally well. I think the UFC is clearly the premier organization due to roster depth, but Bellator is willing to pay more and will attract former UFC talent like the recent MacDonald and Mousasi signings. Bellator is also very actively pursuing graduating top NCAA D1 wrestlers to build a strong farm team for the future. Coker knows what he is doing and the UFC has some credibility issues and fighter treatment issues. The Reebok sponsorship was a debacle for the fighters and the fact that the UFC doesn't have a company sponsored health care program for their fighters is silly given that the fighters are the product they are selling at the end of the day.
Yes. If Lima beats Rory, it’s also safe to say that Bellator WW champ >>> UFC WW champ.
Cmon my man. Ben Askren has been irrelevant for years.And if Lima beats Rory than Ben Askren is still the best damn welterweight on the planet.
Bellator has the better WW division. Venum, Daley, Koreshkov
Out of sight but not out of mind.Cmon my man. Ben Askren has been irrelevant for years.
