I liked the idea of him as a ref. (I am ok with him in Bellator. Maybe he can sometimes fight and sometimes ref!)

Where is he from?


Bellator needs new names at 145, so I welcome this

He's the one who's best friends with Michael Chiesa. They were on opposite teams on TUF (Faber v. Cruz I think), but stayed besties the whole time.

Overrated power, awful striking, no grappling.

He could probably still KO Fedor though, IMO

I was a bit harsh, but he definitely has overrated power, awful striking and no grappling.

He's from a team called Sikjitsu and he doesn't even appear to have a belt system because they consider it their own style of grappling.
