Minakov, McGeary, Halsey, Shlemenko, Lima, Koreshkov, Daley, MVP, Brooks, Chandler, Dantas, Warren, & Patricio Pitbull. That's talent for each division in the UFC.
Ehhhh calling them talent for the division isnt saying much.... UFC still has guys like Clay Guida, Diego Sanchez, Jake Ellenberger, etc, floating around. Those guys are "talent" but they arent top 5 talent, they are just bodies. And thats what I consider most the Bellator guys you listed. UFC has enough of that, it needs fresh top 5 level fighters.

MVP is interesting, I need to see him against a credible opponent though.

At least half the fighters I named have the potential to crack the top 5 to 10 in the UFC. What are you expecting? Established elite fighters? I remember when people were knocking Strikeforce's roster and the WEC's LW division. Now look at them. I'm not saying that Bellator has talent like Strikeforce/WEC did, but they have some great fighters with potential.

Everybody above 145 in Bellator is fringe top 10 at best in the UFC

Since you don't want to grapple go to a local gym and spar with some Muay Thai guys. Make sure you let them know that you're ready to dominate MMA so they don't take it easy and you end up hurting them in the process.

I would just go for boxing, most of my physical conflicts have ended with one punch so I've got knockout power, I've got hellacious speed. My defense is impeccable, I can feel punches coming before they're thrown and pain is a foreign concept. Great work ethic, and my stamina is good, I can have it up to par in a couple weeks . . Mentally I know to be confident in myself and smart enough to not underestimate anyone. I know if I committed to it I would make it a priority of adopting the mindet of being the best their is but I have so much respect for the sport I can't say it to this point. My grandfather was a boxer

The reason I would DOMINATE MMA is because my grappling is too good . . I prefer not to go to the ground, although I can win with less energy expended there, I've beat people that of outweighed me by over 100 pounds and it wasn't because of was stronger then them. I have an innate sense of control and I use finesse and intelligence to win. But I want no part of MMA. I don't like how they don't wear shoes

I have low expectations for this card, but based on tradition I'm going out to watch out.

I fully expect Kos/Ellenberger to be a snoozefest, because both dudes seem disinterested with fighting at this point. But if there's one or two good scraps on the card I'll be satisfied.

This is not a bad card. Just not PPV worthy. If this was fox card it would be perfectly fine. We had PPV cards last year that was just god awful so I am not too upset. One thing I don't like is Tibeau in the opener. Hes going lay on Ferguseon for 15 minutes and that won't be watchable
