Pretty interesting

Spong vs. Rampage - LHW 
Johnson vs. Vegh - LHW 
Arlovski vs. Minakov - HW
Moraes vs. Dantas - BW
Okami vs. Schlemenko - MW
Palhares vs. Lima - WW 
Gaethje vs. Chandler - LW
Karakhanyan vs. Straus - FW  

Fitch vs. Hawn - WW
Dave Branch vs. Brett Cooper - MW? That one's a little strange to include

Overall very interesting.

The only Bellator guys I see winning are Chandler, Straus, and maybe Dantas if those exact matchups happen.

WSOF would have to allow Alvarez/Chandler III to headline the card, plus allow Bellator to take a bigger portion of the revenue split.

I just don't see this happening because this would put all the Bellator champs out of commission and therefore unable to headline the SPIKE TV cards.

This is such a great marketing ploy by WSOF; Its a great way of moving their name up the organisation pile as Bellator's only way of saving face would be to go ahead and win big.

If Bellator says no, for whatever reason, WSOF will say that they were scared and knew they would lose, making them look like a worse organisation than WSOF, which moves WSOF up above them in everyone's minds.

If Bellator says yes, but loses the majority of the fights, then WSOF will be seen to have proved that they have better fighters and thus are a better promotion.

If Bellator agrees but wants to change the match-ups then everyone will see it as Bellator not having faith in the talents of their fighters against WSOF's, and wanting to give them easier fights/more certain W's, again promoting WSOF to be seen as a more credible promotion.

So Bellator has to win big, and that's a big ask considering the match-ups they have put forward.

Well done WSOF, what a great piece of work, and its hard to see how they could ever come out of this looking bad.

That would be a dream night of fights for me, good match ups but org vs org is what's really interesting. One side most likely Bellator would have too much to lose so it will stay a dream, unless after the ppv Bellator buys wsof.
