[Wild]

Bellator announced a pair of signings Monday, as the company brings a former King of Pancrase and a fighter from a familiar gym into the fold.

Japanese standout Isao Kobayashi has been added to the featherweight roster. With a record of 18-2-4, Kobayashi has won two straight and five out of six and was King of Pancrase at lightweight.

The other signing is of Brazil's Thiago Jambo Gonsalves, who trains out of the Pitbull Brothers Academy, home of longtime Bellator standouts Patricio and Patricky Freire. Gonsalves (18-4, 1 NC) is a welterweight who has won eight out of his past 10 fights.

Goddammit I was hoping for Bas vs kimbo and Ken in a 2 on 1 match

I feel like there are a lot of Pitbull Bros. Academy signings. UFC 190 had a lot of fighters out of that academy as well.

Don't be so impatient, King! We may yet get a 6-man tag with Kimbo, Bas, Ken and Frank Shamrock, Ray Mercer and Butterbean!! Give Coker some time!
