Will Bellator call Okami and Paulharris?

No other N. American org will go near him, I'm guessing.

why not guy just tapped in 30 seconds very good fighter who had very close fights with current contender Hendricks and Kos.

Palhares should be in WSOF ,Bellator,maybe Onefc SOON.
 
I want to see Paul harris vs War machine..
OH GOD!! Make it happen!!!
Seriously! Also please let Cecil blind as a bat be the ref...
 
No way is Bellator going to touch either of these two fighters, their not going to sign UFC cast-offs that would come over and dominate their fighters and young stars

Kongo anyone?

They might get Okami. After all, he's ranked #6 in the world and has fought for the UFC title. It wouldn't be a great shame if he took the MW belt. Then again, they didn't get Fitch, so I don't always understand their logic.

Palhares - I don't think so. I think Bellator wants a good reputation--I doubt they want guys who got fired from the UFC for disciplinary or drug/PED issues. The wouldn't even take Marquardt. If they take guys like Palhares, they'll be considered a refuge for MMA's problem children.
 
Why would they sign them?

If I was Rebney this is how I should see it:

-neither is a big draw (personally I don't think Okami should be cut and he would TKO Palhares without much trouble)
-probably would cost more money than their already signed fighters, no value
-could beat Shlemenko, who has made a name for himself as far as Bellator fanbase goes,probably has the most Bellator wins ever. A guy that got cut by the UFC beating Bellator champ wouldn't look good for Bellator.
 
I think Rebney has enough boring fighter with Askren to sign Okami.

I agree with you .
