My fault. I was thinking about the Featherweight Grand Prix. Never mind. Perhaps Bellator will put on a Bantamweight Grand Prix in 2020.

I want to be excited about bellator fights but theres just too many squash matches headlined with one decent fight every time that usually ends up being a rematch
