the_mole Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Put this here because not a lot of people check the Bellator thread but they are doing a 8 man Heavyweight GP featuring most of their big stars at Heavyweight & Light Heavyweight Fedor Emilianenko, Frank Mir, Roy Nelson, Matt Mitrione, Rampage Jackson, Ryan Bader (LHW Champ), King Mo & Chael Sonnen Not the strongest guys but probably their biggest names The card will be 7 nights spread over a year, so not like Pride GPs and the winner gets the Heavyweight Title.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2017 Out of all the possible matchups there, the Pride fan in me wants to see Fedor vs Rampage the most. Fedor vs Chael wouldn't upset me either after all the shit Chael has talked. I can see Bader ending up winning the whole thing though. Fucking Bader.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2017 love it! i knew it was coming but i didnt expect the field to include the light heavyweights. Bellators heavyweight roster is deep enough but this is much better. Lots of crazy possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's potential for plenty of fun scenarios. Fedor vs Mir Rampage vs Sonnen Fedor vs Sonnen Fedor vs Rampage Mir vs Rampage I would put the 4 less interesting fighters (Bader, Mo, Nelson, Meathead) in the same half. That way, the other 4 participants are guaranteed to cross paths. They could still do Mo vs Nelson in the less interesting half of the bracket; which would be a wacky and interesting match-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 10, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2017 Fuck's sake. That's probably Anderson done then, right? Isn't this his second USADA suspension in the space of a few years? His legacy at this point is in worse shape than his shin was after Weidman. Borrachinha vs Gastelum wouldn't upset me now. Assuming Borrachinha didn't pick up any injuries while pummelling Fat Johny last weekend that is. Doesn't really scream main event but what can you do?

jimufctna24 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Deary me. Even after the Weidman losses, he was generally considered to be the greatest MMA fighter ever. I personally disagreed with that perspective, but MMA media and a lot of fans were in his corner. He lost his aura as a fighter a while ago, now he's losing his reputation. The days of his triumphant returns to Brazil where he whacked Bonnar and Okami, the stunning "Like Water" documentary, and the 2nd win over Sonnen; suddenly seem like outdated news.

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2017 yeh, Ansdersons career has ended with a bit of a wimper, he should have gone down in history shoulder to shoulder with GSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2017 I know the fight was unlikely anyway but it's all killed any chance of that GSP vs Anderson fight ever happening stone dead now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 11, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 11, 2017 Haven't seen it posted but Darren Till and Gunnar Nelson have been going back and forth on twitter and basically agreed to fight each other. Bit of a funny one considering Till's coming off a huge win and Gunni just got stopped. But it doesn't seem like there's a queue of guys lining up to fight Till. Gunnar is willing and Till just wants to scrap with anyone. I think Till absolutely leathers him if the fight happens though. Gunnar's grappling could make it a really tricky test on paper but I think he'll have a big problem getting Till down and on the feet I can only see it going one way.

OzExile Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I thought about Nelson as a perfect opponent for Till. and Till as the perfect guy for Nelson. Till's grappling is pretty strong, isn't it? Looks like Coach Kavanagh weighed in on that hype too. I'm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mole Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I don't know how good his grappling is (he did say Maia would be the last WW he would want to fight because of how good he is at grappling), he seems really strong and should get back to his feet if given the chance like in the Cowboy fight but even if Till smashes him, I'm sure we will here about the huge size difference as Till could be a 205er one day and Gunner could probably cut to 155 if he needed too.
