I understand the issue that the prospects in Bellator are more hype than anything else, but at least the case of Vassell and James is that in the Heavyweights longevity is different: Knockout power is always the last thing a fighter loses, sometimes Unlike smaller weights: many heavyweights have no problem with strong weight cuts and with many heavyweights not being as fast throwing combinations of strikes, the loss of reflexes common with age does not affect Heavyweights as much. 

Both veterans are in their possible last run and at this point a title eliminator between the two or Vassell would not have a direct rematch against Ryan Bader for the championship.

Damn I went 7-8 slaughtered.... I think James may have turned a corner preparing for and fighting in those bouts in Russia in ACA... His age isnt great it could catch up to him any year now but these are 2 solid wins over fairly young heavyweights in their real prime, and not scrub ones at all, Fortune was highly touted... He refuses to be denied in the most brutal sport even in his 40s
