Opinion: Bellator is on Par with the UFC

With the conclusion of Bellator 291, Yaroslav Amosov has defeated Logan Storley and has staked his claim that he is not only the best welterweight in Bellator but that he is the best fighter at 170 lbs. on the planet. While the answer to this question is certainly not a clear one, the very fact that it is even being entertained shows how far Bellator has come on in recent years. Upon the monopolization of MMA when the UFC bought out Pride, Strikeforce, and the WEC, they established themselves as the major promotion in the sport and have remained the titan of the industry until today.
