Matches to make after Bellator 125

Melvin Manhoef vs. Shlemenko/Hasley Winner
Doug Marshall vs. Tamdan McCrory
Rafael Carvalho vs. Ben Reiter
Brian Rogers vs. Jason Butcher
Jay Ayala vs. Cheick Kongo
Raphael Butler vs. Lavar Johnson
Goiti Yamauchi vs. Scott Cleve
Martin Stapleman vs. Diego Nunes
Chris Honeycutt vs. Dante Rivera
Julio Cesar vs. Eric Wisely
Poppies Martinez vs. Darrion Caldwell
Jesse Juarez vs. Paul Daley
Ron Keslar vs. Herman Terrado

Why not just give Goiti and Caldwell wins on their records now and skip the fights.

And Honeycutt. Do you know what Caldwell would do to Poppies?
 
Manhoef vs. McRory #1 MW contender (I know they said Mel is getting a title shot but I strongly disagree w/ the choice, both had quick fights, but don't have a resume warranting a title shot, have them earn it thru each other)

Carvalho vs. Cooper

Ayala vs. Sosnovskiy

Yamauchi vs. Jenkins (proj. win of next fight)

Juarez vs. MVP (proj. win of next fight)

Cesar Neves vs. Wisely

Honeycutt vs. Scanlon

Bonilla-Bowman vs. Dizy

Rogers vs. Marshall

I concur. Especially with Rogers/Marshall, it would be a violent, and mostly likely a quick affair between two glass cannons.

I agree with almost all your picks besides Carvalho vs Reiter, those are arguably bellator two best MW prospects. No need to match them up at this point in there careers
