Fights to make after Bellator 144

Here are mine:

Goiti Yamauchi vs. John Teixeira

Michael “Venom” Page vs. Brennan “Irish Bad Boy” Ward

Rafael Carvahlo vs. Hisaki Kato/ Ben Reiter

More on why I pick these fights here: http://mmaoutsiders.com/2015/10/24/fights-to-make-after-bellator-144/

Hope Goiti goes to the UFC after his,Bellator contract is up.

^You seem to hope everyone that doesn't fight in the UFC who is good goes to the UFC. Why? Do you not want competition in MMA? Do you not want more than one promotion to have a legitimate roster of talent? Competition is good, I hope Goiti stays in Bellator.

I hope Ben Askren goes to the UFC, beats them all, then goes to Legacy just to **** with them. The UFC will become Legacy's feeder league.

I want to see all the best fight each other. He has an interesting style and would add more color to the division.

I'd rather see Curran go to the UFC already. He's sort of in a weird place now in the division and I don't see him gettng another title shot anytime soon.

Curran is starting to show signs of aging which worries me. Before Goiti leaves Bellator, I'd want to see if he can truly earn an opportunity at the Featherweight crown in Bellator. Plus Bellator needs more up and coming guys to take over when Straus and Curran hang it up.

@TapologysPhantom While I can't deny Pat Curran might be slowing down. It could also contribute to Curran "off" performances the fact that Coker regime is giving Pat tough fights probably because they don't like his fighting style, a methodical/plant on your feet- wait to counter style. Look at these facts regarding Curran and Straus matchmaking for example :

• Daniel Straus loses title to Pat Curran gets a rebound fight in Justin Wicox (the Wilcox fight was already the Coker/Chou regime). Gets title shot
• Pat Curran loses the title to Pitbull. His next fight is against tournament winner (N1 contender) Daniel Weichel. A fight against the n1 countender isn't a rebound fight by any means
• Straus loses his title bid to Pitbull. Gets another rebound fight with undefeated yet unproven prospect Henry Corrales, who was making his Bellator debut
• Curran next fight after two losses was supposed to be up and comer Goiti Yamauchi at Bellator 139. Yamauchi gets injured wins a fight against late replacement Emanuel Sanchez
• Curran next fight was supposed to be against prospect Justin Lawrence, Curran gets injured. This fight for Curran was a fight with little to gain and a lot to lose. Curran wins - just beat an unproven prospect. Curran loses - got beat by a prospect, Curran is washed up. 

I am not clamoring that Justin Lawrence and Goiti are world beaters, but are much more dangerous fights to take than Justin Wilcox and Henry Corrales.

Kurt Angle might announce his mma debut at Bellator 145. 

He just tweeted about it.  ->  Huge announcement coming today for #Bellator145  Stay tuned! It's damn true!!!!

Rumor is that it could be a fight against Ken Shamrock. Shamrock has teased an announcement in twitter as well

I highly doubt Kurt fights. Do I doubt that Bellator's current regime would approach him to fight? Not at all. But I don't think Kurt would actually want to fight professionally at this point.

Kurt Angle is not fighting, confirmed. He’s doing something with Bellator but it’s not fighting.

If Botter is right I wonder what Ken's announcement is and if it's related to Bellator. Maybe Ken is gonna fight a bare knuckle fight?

Maybe Bellator will co-promote wrestling/mma like they did with that split kickboxing/mma event. 

I hope not.
