I wonder when this will be up for grabs, and who will be fighting for it. Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a tournament 
To be honest, I don't think kb will ever be that big in the states; I could see them having their nitch tho.
I just have a feeling that most hybrid bellator shows will be in European countries where kb is big. Introduce a new market to mma with kb as the lead. It makes sense to me.
Kb as the spearhead in short.
Nice looming belt tho; I like the blue a lot.
Agree that KB will probably have a hard time taking off in the US, although I do think Coker can be successful with it as a secondary promotion.
And yes...that blue and black is awesome.
Whats cool about Bellator kb is all Bellator mma guys can fight there, and obviously vice versa. I also think fighters would be attracted to Bellator based on the ability to do mma+kb. I bet Bellator Boxing is next, they could do a show each friday thats sport specific, then for the last friday of the month do a crossover show that has a different title from each sport mainevent it.
Something like that anyway.

Imagine Dynamite cards w/ MMA, Kickboxing, and Boxing. We may see that someday.
Honestly seeing Boxing on the same card as Kickboxing and MMA might end up being really underwhelming. I'm a big fan of watching the sweet science but I personally think that KB and MMA are far more exciting to watch and going from those back to a boxing match could really slow an event down.
You may be right. Good point.

I see your point but i have watched some entertaining boxing matches over the years. And if they put the sweet science on a card with kb/mma while making sure its a slugfest type fight i think boxing casuals would tune in and kb/mma fans may start watching boxing a little more, then they could use the weekly shows to guage if boxing or kb grow in viewership.
But also the mma fighters that would like to box is a decent list. Kimbo, KJ, Nick, Rampage, Mo and many others, i could see kj and nick leaving for the freedom to box or kb.
I also think all the mma vs boxing conversation could be valid when theres a legit platform to compete against each other without jumping through hoops.
@Wild All 3 sports can be boring at times, but the opposite is true aswell. Worse case maybe bellator boxing is where the old dogs/legends could box. Id watch.
