Not a bad looking list. There are some recognizable names.

Lol, I just posted this in the UFC forum. I'll delete mine.
Yeah it's a decent list, a couple of known commodities, and I'm sure a few of the "unknowns" will surprise us like they do every season. Roy is probably going to be extremely polarizing throughout the show. I love the guy, but sometimes when he opens his mouth he'd be better off putting his foot in there than talking.

I thought the same thing.
I guess to be fair though, that loss was to Nordine Taleb, who's 8-1 and participating in the next Bellator tournament.

Michaud's been wrestling since he was in diapers, often against kids 3-4 years older than him, and he walks around at 205, don't count him out because I've always felt his frame belongs at 170 and he has a chance to be a very decent Mark Munoz type guy at 170.

Looked this post up because I just found out Michaud was going to be on TUF 16 (front row shaggy brown hair), dude is a badass! Been watching him since one of his 1st amateur fights, definitely going to be pulling for Dave this season. Reppin' old skool REZ RUMBLERS!

Agree. He's good friends with Rory Mac and trains with both him and GSP. That's about as good a set up as you can get for a WW prospect.

A couple of years ago, Mike was touted as the next big thing in Bellator's Season Two Lightweight Tournament. He was scheduled to face Mike Corey but Corey ended up getting hurt so his teammate, Pat Curran, stepped up. It's crazy to think where Ricci may be had he fought Corey instead of Curran.
As for the entire cast, there are some really good guys in there with plenty of experience. Sam Alvey is a guy that I've become familiar with when he was in Bellator. He's the last guy to defeat Karl Amoussou at MW and gave Vitor Vianna a run for his money. Bristol Marunde and Saad Awad also have great experience. Should be a fun season.
