Who can name 10 Bellator fighters.

Also Francis split decision vs Fury is a huge deal for Bellator vs UFC. Imagine that was rigged to make Nganou look good but Fury keeps the win.

So they don't have Venum anymore. Liz and Cat are UFC sloppy seconds.
Nemkov is a stud. Is Koreshkov champ, he got 1 loss ? Larkin is a top guy who never panned out. Mousasi is done mainstream wise. Like entirely. Bader is old and was top 5 at best in the UFC. Pico the rushed prospect. Pitbull bros are like 135ers and they are maybe 36 37 38, so that's old for that weight. Cyborg keeps fighting outmatched girls. Well nobody for her to fight sort of outside the UFC, even there, she is a 145er, 135 125 are active division. Ward was some guy, Brendan Ward or something, like mid of the pack guy. McKee is ok.

So besides Nemkov literarly 0 guys who are potentially young superstars. So they got 1 guy who can be a future star.

Why would they keep Bellator alive and not just absorb the roster?
Makes no sense to me, Bellator is awful.

How do you know they are top 3-10. Who did they fight that was or is in the UFC.
 
Just end Bellator with 2023 and have some stacked PFL cards that will generate buzz leading up to a Ngannou fight. Now is the time to ramp things up. Tourneys and crossover superfights all year long.
 
I listen to the PFL president today on the MMA hour and he said something a little different. I wouldn't trust no tweet.
 
Out of all the knock of American MMA brands, Strikeforce had the best HW division, even better them the UFCs. The rest never was interesting. Some fights yes.

Ryan hand over the belt. Don't get recked. You won't land a magic left hook or get a choke of a takedown. You got hurt enough. Ryan is a good guy actually.

Definitely not a true HW, I really hope that they don’t throw the bank at him for the public execution via Big Frank
 
another two years of bellator running concurrent alongside PFL? not sure why that makes any sense. to me, just incorporate the best fighters, maybe like 20-30 of them and then cut the rest. add them to PFL, cut the downtime in between fights in PFL, and start setting up good fights. the idea of bellator, another 2 years, another 2 years of big john, just sounds horrendous. just take scott coker, the best talent, and start PFL now. get this shit going. another two years is a waste of time.

Top 5 for Usman seems a stretch. If Shabliy puts Patricky away then that'll be two dudes he finished that Usman couldn't .I'd say you have to rank Vartanyan, AAA and Shabliy at least higher than him outisde the UFC, maybe Christian Lee too.
