The Official Unofficial Bellator Rankings - December 2 2018

Bellator 210 had one of the deepest preliminary cards of any Bellator event and it really showed in this weeks rankings. Featuring upsets over top fighters, and close decisions between hardened veterans, the prelim card really delivered. The main card was also pretty solid despite not having much of an effect on the rankings, although it did keep John Salter in the mix at 185.

Bellator 211 was kinda sad. Alessio Sakara suffered a harsh knockout at home. Again. The rest of the card consisted of regional talent and kickboxer Hesdy Gerges getting has ass kicked. If you saw it live, I'm sorry. If you didn't, you don't need to.
