Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 1 Perfect, 250 Points | Tied for 150th
First Thiago Santos cannot compete in the tourney due to visa issues and Zak Jensen takes his spot. Then we find out that Mike Hayes broke his occipital fighting Neil, and Santos takes his spot in the semi's. Now Blagoi Ivanov, who was a favorite in some minds to take the tournament, has been injured and is replaced by Neil Grove. This tournament is cursed!
P.S. To everyone claiming this news is irrelevant anyway because the Bellator heavyweights are terrible, Talent doesn't grow on trees, especially heavy's. They are building the divison and that won't happen overnight, however Bjorn and his team have done well with the other divisions and I think they will make things happen eventually. Please feel free to start your own thread as this one is intended for intelligent discussion of Bellator and its heavyweights.
