Bellator picked up FKA Jack Swagger. He's a pretty solid wrestler that WWE had zero clue how to book aside from a few brilliant moments.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

apparently in college he had a 1-2 record in wrestling against noted ghost Cain Velasquez

Yeah, being a great college wrestler, as well as being 6'5" and 275lbs suggest he'll more likely be more of a Brock Lesnar and not another C.M. Punk.

35 is a bit old to try and develop a whole striking game but as a Bellator heavyweight, he may never need it.

The top 5 UFC heavyweights are all good strikers. He could probably be top 10 in the UFC, though.

People on the reddit web site are really pumped about Bellator's heavyweight tournament that's so lovely half of the entrants aren't heavyweights. Well I guess Rampage is because he constantly misses weight. Since it's Fedor/Mir in the first round every single one of the remaining possible matchups sounds awful.

Lol, Rampage said he's not thrilled at the idea of fighting anyone who does a wrestle, especially Chael Sonnen.

I think half the entrants not being heavyweights is a selling point. Most LHWs are just less fat heavyweights and anyone who’s good at LHW would be good at heavyweight. Chael is the only one who doesn’t belong ability wise and I would argue that for other reasons he’s essential to the whole venture

I agree that most of the potential matchups are bad. They should have done a round of 16 with insanely bad fighters like Francis Carmont first

I can see James Thompson being fed to this guy soon as a warm up fight. Be a shame if JT was fit and uninjured and ready for it.

Look, this heavyweight tournament is going to be one of the funniest things ever. If someone could discreetly shoot King Mo into the sun first, it would be appreciated.

How Chael "Gets Manhandled by Rashad's Size Advantage" Sonnen gets through this will be hysterical.
