Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 3, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 3, 2020 something that was brought up on The Bash podcast the other day that was related to the aimless Bellator Euro scene, but should apply to all of Bellator. The company is in desperate need of a ranking system. I know the UFC one has its critics, but it gives divisions structure and Bellator needs it. A World and European top 10 and the inclusion of European belts would be great. Right now, it feels like the European fighters are just fighting for no reason without an end goal.

Paid Members WeeAl Posted October 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 8, 2020 Terrible. I mean, that doesn't make sense on any level at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) That announcement also pretty much confirms that Nemkov will rematch Davis next. I can't think of anyone other than Anderson for Nemov or Davis to fight next. Elsewhere, Coker has said that the recent signings are not a sign that he's going to build Bellator's roster, rather the new signings will act as replacements for fighters they intend to release. This is great news. Bellator needed to shake up their roster a bit and get rid of some dead wood, which they now seem to be doing. I am far more positive about Bellator than I was a month or so ago. Edited October 9, 2020 by jimufctna24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 9, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 9, 2020 i would have had no problem with them throwing Anderson straight in with Nemkov. Guess Davis does deserve it though. Bellator need that ranking system though, badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 11, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2020 That’s a top signing. I watched one of his fights with Yan a while back and it was incredible. Keep meaning to watch the other one. Kind of wish the UFC had got him just so we could see the rubber match but it’s one of the best signings Bellator have made, IMO. Unless he’s dropped off since the Yan fights I can see him doing big things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 12, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2020 Like we said in the Zombie vs Ortega thread, Europe seems to be churning out beasts for fun at the moment. The fact that there’s enough of these guys out there for both the UFC and Bellator to grab up says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 12, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2020 yeh, i skirted over it when it was announced but Usman Nurmagamedov is said to a real prospect. 11-0 and heavily tipped to go on to be better than his cousin Khabib. Daniel Cormier gave him a glowing review on his podcast last week (though he would wouldnt he). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 12, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Are we getting this week’s Cyborg show on Sky Sports or what? Can’t see it on the listings and it’s on Thursday according to MMA Junkie. Is that right? Thursday?  Edit - ah never mind, found it.
