I want to see todd duffee win a couple to get back in but he definitely should be able to make it again.

agreed...he was released based on something other than in cage perfromances..and then immediately fed to the t-rex named overeem...tough times for a guy who, after his destruction of tim hague in his debut, was the next big thing.

I think Askren is entertaining, but I can see the counter-argument.

Askren is entertaining because he makes me jump around my living room and yell "just F****** do something already!" So I guess I'm the entertaining one...but it's during his fight.

I love watching Askren fight. 

And Kalibo is exactly correct, the answer is Ian Mccall and Patricio Pitbull. 

I'd also include Minowaman and Patricky Pitbull.

I'm having trouble thinking of a fifth right now, but I guess Joachim Hansen is a solid answer. I can't think of anyone else at the moment. Alexis Vila is generally pretty entertaining.

I like Askren as well...Most the Bellator Champs are exciting and a lot of the fighters!

Some Bellator champs are fun to watch. Others... not so much
Konrad is very boring, Lombard is generally boring until he gets the ko (unless it's within two minutes), Warren tries to be boring but he gets his ass beat while trying, so he's pretty fun I guess. I can't watch Makovski fight...he is very dull. Alvarez is usually very fun to watch, his fight with Curran sucked though. M'Pumbu is always entertaining.

I like Todd Duffee as well, "little lesnar".  Once he refines his stand-up and sharpens his boxing, he will be very dangerous on his feet.  Hector needs to make the step to the UFC, he is obviously UFC caliber, now it is time to step into the deep end and see if he swims like phelps or sinks like hoffa.  I am thinking he would get some tough fights right off the bat.  Any great wrestler would be a bad matchup for him, but he is very very impressive.

Askern and Alvarez are incredible.. if they stay winning and showcase their skiils it wont be long before dana has them in the ufc.. its just the way things are going lately.. both to be in ufc before end of 2012 is my bet
