Bellator imo, mainly coz of Rory.

 

[Cam Zink]

Just now I realized how awesome Bellator ww is.

 

[Threetrees]

Bellator imo, mainly coz of Rory.

I might take Larkin, Lima and Daley over Wonderboy tbh
Koreshkov too
Lima and Koreshkov are interesting style matchups for Woodley as well

The current version of non-gassing Maia vs the current version of broken-souled Rory?

Maia makes Rory his pet for the entire fight instead of just the first round like he did when they first met.

Rory still beats Maia imo.

I'd pick Maia over most of the fighters on both lists
but not Hory

UFC since Rory is by far their best guy and he got 50-45'd by Wonderboy. I'd still pick him to beat Woodley though.

Daley is so inconsistent that he can get randomly dominated by a guy that can't fit himself in the ufc. I might put MVP ahead of him in those rankings....

It's actually pretty damn close though. Nice work from Bellator getting Larkin there.

The whole Bellator roster is bonkers.

Who the fuck is Brutal Bob? Robbie Lawler?

Rory still beats Maia imo.

Watch R1 of their first fight again. Maia made Rory look like he didn't belong in the UFC.

Then he gassed. Hell, even gassed all to fuck he took Rory down in R3 and continued to land strikes on the feet.

Current Maia doesn't gas and current Rory is no longer as good as the version who got lucky in their first meeting. Maia wins a rematch and it's not even close I reckon.

Who did he get randomly dominated by recently?

I know that Maia gassed
I think he gassed because of how Rory fought him, I think he has gassed recently because guys are content to shell
But I'm not pretending like I'm 100% right, I would just still pick Rory. Would be happy to be wrong

Lawler vs. Daly would be unreal.

 

[thatdude21601]

I would watch all these people fight Nick Diaz.

Lightweight might be deeper, but there's a certain violence level present at welterweight that can't be topped. Carlos Condit will be sorely missed.

He sounds like a casual that assumes Lima is some random can.
