Yeah 19-0!! 12 Sub finishes and a load of 1st round finishes too. Guy looks like one to watch, im sure hes on the prospect thread if I ever read it!

Reis and Karakhanyan who is only 25 have only 2 losses each and both could go to the top outside UFC without a doubt. Hell of a start to a tournament so far.

And Reis who's only losses are a SD to Patricio Freire (JMO List for god knows how long, guy is top 20 and has been for a bit) and a UD to Soto who was top 10 before his last loss.

BIG Tournament, Along with the Ww one Bellator is button on good shows. Lets hope they can find someone for Lombard and Konrad whats now becoming a Belator thing... a catchweight to keep Askren active, Alvarez anyone? Easier fight in Huerta as something to keep him buys till he gets the Tournament winner?

Any word on Lombard or Konrad?

Patricio Freire and zac george are also rumored to be participating.

Daniel Straus (14-3 MMA, 1-0 BFC)joins Georgi Karakhanyan (14-2-1 MMA, 2-1 SF), Kenny Foster (8-2 MMA, 1-0 BFC), Zac George (20-3 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Eric Larkin (3-0 MMA, 1-0 BFC) as officially confirmed participants in Bellator's featherweight tournament.
