Lima fixed some issues from recent fights. Much more urgent to stay on the feet and create opportunities there

Oak

All Bellator prospects are trash. Except maybe 2 out of 20.

The moment I know its a Bellator "prospect" going up against someone half decent I fade

One of the few prospects in Bellator that I think will turn out to be something is Archie Colgan. He keeps getting better fight after fight.
