I know Manhoef is the immediate title shot, but beyond that, who is there in Bellator's MW division?

Dan Cramer
Rafael Carvalho
Clifford Starks
Tamdan McCrory

Who would you guys go with after Manhoef and do any of these guys actually stand a chance? Also, is there anyone I'm missing?
 
So...you're pretty much sure he'll beat Manhoef too, eh?

I wanna see The Barncat get a shot.

Melvin is the man but Halsey is a BEAST. He's prob the best MW Bellator has ever had. He's a legit sized MW with awesome grappling and his striking is only going to get better.

Also I would like to see Barn Cat get a few more fights before a title shot. Beating a WW shouldn't just give him a title shot. Give him Doug Marshall.

A shame when a fighter with a 1-0 promotional record gets a title shot. A win over Marshall at that.


I miss Bjorn.
 
There are tons of options but none really stick out to me at this point... probably going to have to pair 2 of em together to get the next title challenger.

Options include:
Shlemenko rematch
King Mo
Cramer
Reiter
Carvalho
Grove M'Pumbu winner
Parlo
McCrory
Bubba Sordi winner

I dont think any of these guys are worthy at this point and would need another win but thankfully since Halsey already has his next challenger they have the time frame to get them all another fight. My guess is they will do togehter 2 of Shlemenko, King Mo, and Grove / M'Pumbu and the winner of that fight will get a title shot

Where are you getting King Mo? Did he actually want to move to MW? Can he make weight?
 
I think if M'pumbu can win two straight that would be a good fight.

He wants to fight at hw, lhw and mw next year. As far as I've heard, he barely cuts anything at 205

After his last fight he said he's a Money Weight.... and that he would be willing to fight at MW.

And he can definitely make MW. He's a small-ish LHW.
 
Mo to MW would be something I'd be interested in or getting Okami or Mamed.

Other than those three I have little interest in any Bellator MW fights for the champ.

Halsey/Melvin, if it doesnt end in the first 30 seconds for Melvin then he gets taken down and its over.
 
Totally on board for a Barncat title shot against Halsey.
 
Dan Cramer and King mo pose the most threat. would LOVE a king mo vs halsey fight. a Okami fight would be good too
