Bellator a launching pad for Konrad?

Rogent Lloret (9-1)
Lloret has a few good wins but looks a bit passive at times and small...

Eddie Sanchez (12-3)
Eddie Sanchez is an ok fighter, not UFC Level but neither are most of the rest.

Scott Barrett (10-1)
Barrett is a big 265lbs meathedded wrestler, but Konrad has him trumped at that!

Damian Grabowski (12-0)
Grabowski (Mini Pudz!) has a bit of hype about him too, I could see him winning if Konrad doesnt.

Neil Grove (8-2-1)
Grove has a puncher chance and is a big 265er, unlucky for him he isnt the only one in the tournament so not giving him much chance.

Mike Hayes (12-3-1)
Hayes just doesnt look like he will deal with the higher level fighters and wrestlers id say.

And one more to be anounced. Not all UFC level guys but winning a tournament with 8 decent fighters like this would make a statment. Im guessing he is a heavy favorite based on his Wrestling skills?

Hopefully on to better things for the winner of this. I really would love to see Bellator being used as a Propper B League for UFC or SF, The winners of the tournaments would get a launching pad into the bigger organisations etc.. MMA is big enough now for UFC to have a B league.

Whos peoples call to win this? Would u like to see Bellator used as a B league for SF or UFC? B league sounds bad... 1st devision to put it more kindly!

Theres videos of most of them on youtube but I couldnt be arsed adding them at this time of night!

i hope the last one will be this guy:



Maiquel "Big Rig" Falcao

Fighting out of the Chute boxe academy, record is 25-3, with 24 finishes, and 20 first round knockouts.
check out the video, there is a particularly spectacular one where he soccer kicks a guy out of the ring!!
but he is 211 lbs so he should not really be a heavyweight, compare him to (the recently droppped to 170lb) Cyborg in the video.

either that, or another guy you may have heard of, Fabio Maldonado...who actually beat Falcao twice.

trains with the Nogueira brothers and Anderson Silva et al.
17-3 in MMA, 22-0 in boxing.

he is also quite small, but he made the big and talented Jesse Gibbs tap to punches to that might not be so much of an issue.

If Grabowski wins this (which I think he will do) then he should definitely be a top 15 heavyweight, there are some good fighters in this tournament.

Is konrad definatly in the tournament? I think he will win and then join his buddy Brock in UFC.
