...Just cracked my top 10.  I'm sure he's honored.

Seriously though, awesome knockout.  I gotta stop betting against this guy.

Don't stop betting against him just yet. I don't think he'll get past Pitbull.

Is he fighting Pitbull for the title shot then?  I assumed they'd just be the next two contenders.

Yeah wait a minute... I'm not sure how they're going to resolve this logjam at the top of the Bellator 145 division.  Will Warren fight Freire first, and Curran gets the winner?

Anyway, I've got Warren, Freire, and Curran stacked one behind the next at 15, 16, 17 on my rankings.  Sandro down in the low 20's.

This is becoming quite a stacked division and sadly for these guys, the UFC is where it's at until proven otherwise.

Warren was supposed to defend his belt against Freire at Bellator 47 a few weeks ago but that got canceled. Warren in my opinion is clearly better suited at 135 (if not 125), but I think his plan is to go back and forth from 135 to 145 over the next year.

I actually think Warren is an entertaining personality and I don't have a problem with the guy. But he's had some pretty good fortune in MMA so far.  I don't think it's going to continue much longer.

That's true.  There's a whole category of fighters like that, and I'm a fan of most of them.  Guida in particular gets that said about him frequently.

I have to update mine after last night.. Curran will be jumping up.  Warren is basically putting the 145lbs division on hold b/c of his participation in the 135lbs tourny right?

Goddamn Fantasy League @@#%$%%^%%$^^%#$^^$%^

Ok, better now. Seriously I always thought Curran would win but picked Sandro because I took him in the league. Then I thought better of it yesterday BEFORE ANY OF THE GOD DAMN BELLATOR FIGHTS STARTED but it was already locked. Definitely have to update rankings today.

As far as my rankings go, it would hold him steady.  Bart is a warrior, but he is not a top10 fighter.

depends on the HOW...if he dominates bartimus, then he'll get launched into my rankings...if its a close fight, snoozer, or he shouldve lost but the judges ***'d up...then he stays in the depths of non top 10-dom
