So, with just those two guys, Bellators MW division would have-

Rafael Carvalho
Jacare Souza
Gegard Mousasi
Anatoly Tokov
John Salter
Alex Shlemenko
Melvin Manhoef
Hisaki Kato
Rafael Lovato Jr
Ed Ruth
Chris Honeycutt
Neiman Gracie
Romero Cotton

Not to mention WW's like Douglas Lima and Rory MacDonald, who have expressed interest in fighting up at MW.

Much as Fertita-era Zuffa screwed fighters financially, they were very good about re-signing their stars, and not just the megastars.

The UFC needs an owner who actually has a deep knowledge of the sport, and who cares strongly about the sport as a whole and not just a few superstars. It also needs an owner whose attention isn't divided between the UFC and a Hollywood talent agency. The evidence keeps mounting that Ari Emanuel is just absolutely not the right person for this job.

Can't believe UFC is actually letting so many fighters get to the last fight of their deals. Ufc just isn't trying to pay

You heard loud mouth Dana when asked about moose and his fighter pay complaints. He isn't selling out arenas. Ok so then you won't mind him going to bellator. Ok cool.

His argument is so stupid
Dana isn't giving moose the opportunity to sell out arenas
Mousasi could be a star

I also just want to add the days of the UFC looking all glorious are gone. Who the fuck would want to take less money just to say IM the ufc champ instead of the bellator champ. Not me sorry. Money talks.

Tell me when the Bellator champs start making more than UFC champs. UFC maybe U Fight Cheap, but Bellator isn't exactly digging deep.

I tell you what I'm a big fan of Jacare and Gegard and feel they are the #1 and #2 MW's in the world, with Yoel being considered as well. If Bellator gets both Jacare and Gegard, I for sure will tune in for all their fights and feel it will be a significant momentum swing in favor of Bellator.

BJ Penn.com has an article with Cyborg stating she wants to fight out her UFC contract and test free agency.

Coker has already responded, he is very interested.

Anatoly Tokov
(25-3)


15 of his wins have been by TKO or KO, 5 by submission. He beat Bellator vet AJ Matthews in Rizin and won his Bellator debut by TKO.

John Salter
(13-3)

John is 3-0 in Bellator, and likely next in line for Carvalho. Brandon Halsey (who ran through Shlemenko to win the title) had John Salter as his rebound fight after dropping the title to Carvalho. Salter destroyed him.



Rafael Lovato Jr
(5-0)

One of the most decorated jiu jitsu practitioners in MMA today. Won his Bellator debut in 13 seconds.

Chris Honeycutt
(9-1-1)


2 time NCAA Division I All American. 5-1-1 in Bellator. Only 28 years old.

Neiman Gracie
(5-0)


28 years old. Trains with Renzo Gracie. Very decorated jiu jitsu practitioner.



His stand up isn't the best, but his ground game is good enough to take him into title contention.


Ed Ruth
(2-0)


26 years old. 2012, 2013, 2014 NCAA Division I Wrestling Champion, 2014 World Team Member, 4x All-American, 4x Big Ten Champion.

Romero Cotton
(0-0)



26 years old. 3 time NCAA Division II national wrestling champion Romero Cotton. He hasn't debuted yet, so he could be a bust. But with a wrestling background that decorated, it's highly likely that he'll do very well.

Yes... Paying a billion dollars a year in fighter salaries would be a great business model.

Profit billions vs hundreds of millions. A problem I wish I had.

Fighter pay increase will equal more viewership. More viewership will increase revenue.

Does the NFL pay out a billion a year?

Is the UFC putting on 40 events a year?
