All of these fighters are on the upside of their career too. I friggin' love this division these days. Quality over quantity, I think this is p4p the best division in the promotion. I can see only a max of 3-4 out of the 26 signed fighters that aren't UFC-level fighters.

Hell yeah, long time coming.
I'm sticking with my theory that he threw his last Bellator fight to get released and drop to 125lbs in order to get a UFC contract.

and most of the top 20 is on the UFC or has no need to be in there
#14 Banuelos: already lost to most of the UFC FlyW roster
#15 Yamamoto: looks pretty good , he has a win over Tokoro
#16 Ortiz: signed to UFC
#17 Freitas: was on TUF as a BW, wish UFC would have kept him for this division
#18 Santela: hopefully will be next
#19 Nobre: had his shot and *****ed out
#20 Elliott: signed to UFC
I like this fight better as well. Didn't want Jorgs first fight at 125 to be against Dodson.

They found a great replacement when Ian McCall was injured and another great one now that Dodson is out.
Having good relationships with some of these high-level feeder orgs (RFA, Legacy) certainly has its advantages.

As someone above mentioned, i would have rather seen AMA product Sean Santella, or one of the 2 highly reguarded brit prospects. Either Pietro Menga 10-0 or Giorgio Andrews 9-0.

Anyways, agreed @yoss, but you can also add Legacy to that list. They've got a good working relationship with the UFC, which is why prospects like Holly Holms, Robert Drysdale and Thomas de Almeida have signed with them. Santiago also bounced back in Legacy.
I'm interested to see how WSOF fits in. All the talk has made it seem like they could be another great feeder org, but they seem to be on a higher tier than the aforementioned shows, more like a Bellator, but with arguably better talent at the top of some of their divisions.
Wonder if they're really gonna let guys walk after a few fights with them. Idk if they're gonna let champs like Moraes go without a behind-the-scenes battle.
