Daley vs Page, Koreshkov vs Lima, Gracie vs Ruth, Macdonald vs Fitch, Amasov vs Larkin
I am looking forward to Daley vs Page because of their knockout power and the trash talk that has been going on between these to over the last few years.

Rory is on another level than any of these guys.

Rory has to be the favorite. Page is a wild card because he looks like a killer but hasn't been really tested. That being said I have a feeling injuries will play a big factor in who wins.

Rory would just take Page down and completely destroy him.

best fight in the tournament is Larkin vs Amasov.

Is everyone sleeping on ruth? I have watched ed compete for a long time. He is going into deep waters, but none of these guys have the wrestling pedigree or natural talent that ed has. Rory is a monster, and the rest of these guys are spooky, but ed ruth is the one guy who will have the advantage of dictating where each of his fights takes place. If he hurts one of these guys on the feet are they going to secure a panicked td? Against a 3x ncaa champ? Ed is my pick. Just call it a hunch. Flipside is gracie could finish him.

No doubt he can lose, but if he is better on the feet than gracie, it's over. Although ed has never faced a bjj guy at gracie's level, i can guarantee that this will be the best wrestler that gracie has ever fought. Very few guys are on ruth's level when it comes to wrestling.

I got Koreshkov winning the whole thing, but I'm rooting for Neiman.

Would be hilarious if he outpointed Ruth on the feet and advanced.

Koreshkov should move on from Bellator. They have no idea what to do with him anyways. A 3rd fight with Lima? Really? Really? Why?

Koreshkov has knock em dead striking which makes him a major factor

Bruce aren't they 1-1? Makes sense to completely clean up the division. Settle all old scores. The winner of this tournament will have a real claim to #1 170lbs in the world.

Yes they're 1-1. I just don't like seeing Koreshkov lose ok...haha 


that and Semtex vs Koreshkov is more interesting imo.

I feel like if Daley was coming off a win, they might have made that fight, but it's pretty clear that they're trying to build MVP's name off of Paul's. It might just pay off so long as Michael doesn't get touched by that left hook.

What do you guys think would be the most unexpected final? It ought to be MVP vs Gracie, right? Or maybe Larkin/Amosov instead of Page. All I know is that Neiman is probably the biggest underdog in that thing, two horrible matchups back-to-back.
