    I like Bellator but I want to see Lombard and Alvarez in the UFC.

    Alvarez-Aoki II in Bellator should be good. I'd rather see Chandler in the UFC, his performance against Alvarez last time out showed his class IMO.

    Agreed, the rematch is decent. I want to see Chandler in the UFC. My main concern is seeing all the best mix it up.

    At 34, Lombard could be near the end. We will have missed his best years. Same as Cung Le. He was good but its the constant demand of the competition that forces these guys to improve or die.

    I'm not sold on Cung Le. Flashy, effective to a point, but pretty vulnerable IMO. Web at his supposed best it took him two attempts to beat Scott Smith, who was getting by on resilience alone at his best.

    Agree with you 100% on seeing the best together. Bellator should **** off their tournament policy and make the winner of Alvarez-Aoki Vs Chandler. They'd actually begin to look more organised that way, at the moment their business policy is inspired but too rigid IMO.

    The Cung who fought Smith was a movie star, no matter what he says. If you leave real fight training for that long then your come back training camp has to be serious and I don't think his was.

    Cungs striking is legit, flashy, fast and power. I never rated his boxing though. No defence and poor punching technique. Cung had the base but its the UFC which would hve forced him to improve. Wand exposes flaws, Smith just won from lasting the distance.

    Not too keen on an org based on tournies. Great side show, great for team sports but doesn't work 100% in MMA me thinks.

    Your telling me a guy who took a fight on 6 days notice and had one of the best jiu jitsu artists in mma locked up in a darce choke at the end of the 2nd round is horribnle. LMAO. Weidman will choke out anyone in the division.

    Im not so sure mate

    He's come on a lot since the Mousasi fight IMO , i think he'll be beaten before he gets a chance to dance with Silva , but i would value his presence in the UFC's MW division

    Some of the fringe contender's would provide him with a stern test , but id fancy him to beat most of them , he would be a good addition overall

    There's some good fights to be made with Lombard in the UFC

    @34 , will he move across ????

    To be honest

    That is a really good shout , Chandler is a really solid 55'er , extremely gifted wrestler who just gets better

    He himself is one of the big earner's @Bellator , so who knows ??? , he's only young so one would expect a switch to the UFC eventually
