The Official Unofficial Bellator Rankings - February 18 2019

Well Bellator 215 and 216 happened. That's really all there is to say about that. MVP makes his rankings debut off a horrible fight against Paul Daley. Daley is no longer ranked. The heavyweight division went through a significant remodeling, with Cheick Kongo and Mirko Cro Cop both rising to the top. Somewhat surprisingly, former champion Vitaly Minakov did not break the top 5. Not too much movement in any other divisions, but there were some interesting fight announcements in the past few weeks.

Anyway, here are the Official Unofficial Bellator Rankings for January 28 2019.

The Official Unofficial Bellator Rankings - January 28 2019

Well it wasn't easy to watch but we finally have a new Bellator Heavyweight champion. Ryan Bader knocked out the legendary Fedor winning the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix, and becoming the first simultaneous two division champion in Bellator history. In the co-main event Henry "OK" Corrales defied the odds, knocking out uber-prospect Aaron Pico in just one round. Elsewhere on the card, former featherweight Juan Archuleta made good on his Bellator bantamweight debut, defeating a very game Ricky Bandehas in a close and entertaining contest. Both Corrales and Archuleta are now eyeing title shots in their respective divisions.
