With the UFC light heavyweight GOAT Jon Jones vacating the title and moving up to heavyweight, Bellator CEO Scott Coker argues that his promotion has the best 205-pound division in the sport.
“Listen, with Jon Jones moving up to heavyweight, I think we have the best 205-pound weight on the planet with Bader, Gegard wants to move up, we have Machida, and we have Corey Anderson now,” argued Coker. “We have a bunch of killers in that weight To me, we have a great roster of fights for [Corey Anderson] – and even Phil Davis. I mean, we’ll be able to put some great fights together, and I’m excited about that division.”
“I got to meet [Anderson]. I got breakfast with him and DC probably like two weeks ago, and he’s been training with DC. DC said, ‘Hey, you have to take a look at this kid.’
“At the same time, [Bellator matchmakers] Rich and Mike were saying, ‘Hey, we should really sign him. He’s a top four or five guy in the world. He’d be a great addition to our 205 division.'”
Fucking Bellator, man. Just can't help themselves. It's comical how time and again they clown themselves and literally tell everyone that UFC is superior.
All I know is, Bader is heavy favourite to walk through the UFC LHW division in 2020
The divisions are both fairly terrible. With Cormier, Jones, Gus & Rumble all moving divisions or retiring. Bader is easily the best LHW in the world right now

Unfortunately for Bader, Rumble is coming back to enter in the USADA pool.
