So who do you think will participate in the tourney? Theres a fat sack a cash for some lucky LHW. I bet jardine will make a run for it. Mike Kyle maybe? Wat other lhws are out there that bellator could get to sign on? Prangley? James irvine? Imagine if they were all in that tourney. This thing has some real potential
King Mo?

SF fighters can fight outside of strikeforce. I think Mike Kyle would be smart to get on this. IMO. He's a good LHW.

They are gonna try to sign someone real big now that they got better TV deals. I think the next Bellator season will be one of the best.

Word on the ether is that Bellator will debut March 5 8-10PM. Tape delay on the west coast. That is a Saturday night. If it is true and that is their regular day and time then they will be counter programming the UFC and the SF arena shows.

Yeah bellator is pretty good at getting fighters for their tournaments that aren't washouts from other orgs. Not that I wouldn't mind seeing some ufc vets in there, but they usually find some dude from finland who's like 29-0 or something.

Yeah, I hope they pick up Jimi Manuwa (undefeated 27 year old Brit with excellent Muay Thai/Boxing and solid Judo/Jits) I want to see how he'll handle a step up in competition. Mamed Khalidov would be a good shout as well, he normally fights at MW but is prepared to go up to 205.

I don't think O'brien can make 205 anymore. Did you see his fight with Gegard Mousassi? Other than that I agree (but I doubt that we will ever see Arona in Bellaor)
