Bellator seems to have a disproportionate amount of God squad members, even for MMA.

He's never NOT made it to the finals, that's impressive considering how many tourneys hes done.

Nobody in the UFC LW or FW division could do that to Nunes.

Scratch half of what I said. Thought Nunes came into the UFC at 155 for some reason. Guess not.

I see a Pitbull/Wilcox final.  I see Justin ragdolling the smaller Taimanglo.

Partially agree with Zarog's sentiment.  Every fight is different and it doesn't necessarily mean that Pitbull would have beat Kenny Florian at his best. 

But it should leave no doubt that the best at Bellator's 145 could compete effectively in the UFC.
