Already they have a very competitive HW, LHW and WW roster compared to the UFC, should they make the LHW tournament?

Bader
McGeary

Davis
Yagshimuradov (from ACB)

Nemkov
Vassell

Narkun (from KSW)
Machida

alternate 1: Aung La Nsang (from ONE) vs Prochazka (from Rizin)
alternate 2: Sonnen vs King Mo
(superfight: Wanderlei vs Fedor)

Let's hope Mousasi will move up also
 
LHW "rooster"...

There is no way ONE would send Aung La N Sang to Bellator. He's becoming a big star for them, too risky.
Bellator's LHW division is definitely deep enough though, especially if Mousasi and some other big MWs move up.
 
So they have a competitive roster but here's a tournament that includes several fighters from completely different promotions.

Those fighters probably have no interest in fighting for Bellator if they're already in One, ACB or KSW.
 
They might have a better rooster than the UFC but their roster is shit.
 
Assuming DC stays at HW and Jones moves up once he returns... Bellator LHW division > UFC LHW division.
 
Let him prove himself at MW first. He already stated he wants to fight Fedor so thats pretty badass. But maybe a bit too much yet. Moose is a proven LHW fighter and had some great succes at HW too (ie Hunt)

Jones, DC and Gus easily wipe the floor with anyone on this list

I got a bit of heat for mentioning a LHW tournament before... But after my initial suggestions, here is a revised list I think would make for an explosive LHW tournament that would get a LOT of attention.

Ryan Bader
Gegard Mousasi
Lyoto Machida
King Mo
Phil Davis
Chael Sonnen

And while these guys fight their next round of fights, have some fights for entry:

Linton Vassell vs Jordan Young
Liam McGeary vs Tyree Fortune

I don't think Aung will take part on this tournament for being a ONE Champ.
