good talent...


another companies should be able to pick up some talent from this group...

Aliev shouldn't have been released. Sure, his style wasn't exciting, but he got.screwed against Marshall.

Also thought they should've kept Boughton around, pretty solid talent for a.notoriously weak division worldwide. Did.Desilets ever fight for Bellator.either?

Same with Brooks.

i dont think so....but they did the same crap to tyson nam, they never put him in a fight but went to war with wsof for his services....

That's a lot of cuts. Most of them make sense though.

What is the source of this? Is that Will Brooks who they released? Thanks.

No, its E.J/Emanuel Brooks, former Missouri wrestler.

This was cited as the source on another forum. Way at the bottom of each division ranking. Don't know who they are.

This other forum doesn't list their sources, either. I don't know if it is true or not, but it is not exactly a professional way of doing things. Then again, it's MMA 'media'.
