Bellator 115 pound woman grand prix roster finalized. (ok not quite)

Pictured from top left to bottom right ; Megumi Fujii (20-0), Jessica Aguilar (8-4), Lisa Ward (12-5), Rosi Sexton (11-1), Jessica Pene (7-0), Angela Magana (8-4), Lynn Alvarez (5-1), and Aisling Daly (9-0)

(from Bloody Elbow)

1. Fujii: With a perfect 20-0 record and her status as arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in all of women’s MMA, Fujii has to be considered the favorite to win the entire tournament.
.
2. Sexton: She’s 10-1, and the only loss came to the much bigger Gina Carano four years ago. Sexton is a tremendous fighter, and I’m glad Bellator has her in the mix, although I do find it curious that she has a fight for Bellator on Thursday night against Zoila Frausto. If Frausto wins that fight, suffice to say Sexton’s stock drops a lot heading into the tournament..

3. Daley: The Irish Daley is 9-0 and has only gone to a decision once. My only question is whether she’s taken on elite competition. Whoever she faces in the first round of the tournament, that’s likely going to be her toughest fight to date.
.
4. Aguilar: She’s 8-3 and has been on a real tear of late, with three stoppage wins in the last eight months.
.
5. Ward: Her 13-4 record includes an impressive win over Stephanie Frausto at Bellator 22 last week, as well as a victory over Aguilar. That was Aguilar’s first pro fight, however, and I think the training she’s been getting at ATT would probably give her an edge over Ward if there’s a rematch — which I hope there will be in the first round of the tournament.
.
6. Pene: At 7-0 with four submissions and a TKO, Pene has a good-looking record, although I don’t like how she matches up with most of the rest of the tournament field.
.
7. Magana: Her 8-4 career record includes a loss to Pene, a win over Alvarez and three fights against Aguilar (Aguilar has won two of them).
.
8. Alvarez: It’s a demonstration of how deep and evenly matched this tournament is that Alvarez is No. 8. She has a 5-1 record, including a first-round submission win over the well-known Michelle “Karate Hottie” Waterson, but Alvarez’s one loss was to Magana and she hasn’t fought anyone else in the field, so I’ll have to place her at the bottom.

EDIT; Sexton has been suspended for 60 days following the loss to Zoila Frausto. Frausto may take her place in the tournament.

I'm actually excited about this tournament now because the feild they've garnered is about as stacked as a divisional tournament could possibly be. This is like a HW tournament with Fedor, Lesnar, Carwin, Duffee, Del Rosario, Jeff Monson, Cain and JDS. All elite or at least very good talent and high potential up and comers.

Oh and most of em are pretty hot too.

Ummm, hot's overstating it a bit. But I'm looking forward to see how they fare against Fujii. I have only seen a couple of them fight, so I don't know a ton about them... But I'd have to think she's a HUGE favorite in this tournament...

I'd hit at least half of them 100% of the time.

Ya all of em except megumi and mayhem are foxes. Unlike playmates, these girls in fight gear with no makeup and their hair in dreads get bonus points and judges on a much different curve.

Sounds pretty sweet

Sexton being fucking flattened by Frausto tonight should likely mean she'll suffer a medical suspension. Frausto I believe should take her place. Sexton is a high ranked fighter, but it wouldn't be fair to bump another fighter to make room for Frausto, who should absolutely get her spot in this tournament. That was the best KO in televised American women's MMA history.
