Alvarez- former Bellator/UFC champ
Bendo- former WEC/UFC champ
Barnaoui- former ROAD GP champ
Musayev- former RIZIN GP champ
Patricky- current Bellator champ
Usman- maybe reigning Bellator champ
McKee- former Bellator FW champ and GP champ
Bak- former Cage Warriors champ
Primus- former Bellator LW champ
Outlaw, Shabliy, Queally, Rabadanov, Mamedov etc… all possible as well.
I’d like to see them go with a 16 man but I doubt they will as Coker said it will be 8 man.
Covid lockdowns caused the 16 man FW GP to take forever so I assume they want this done quick.
I expect Usman to win the title in a few weeks and I’d love to see him defend the title vs Barnaoui in the first round of the GP because Barnaoui lost a controversial decision to Makhachev when they were young in M-1 and then he KOed Zavurov with a flying knee in the ROAD GP finals so he is 1-1 vs Eagle MMA already so there is a history there.
I’ll save you some time. Usman beats Pitbull, Barnaoui and everyone else Bellator throws at him, and when Islam moves to WW in the UFC, Usman takes the UFC LW title.
