#2 Will Brooks
‘Ill’ Will Brooks marked with Bellator in 2013, assembling a 5-1 record before testing Michael Chandler for the Lightweight title in 2014. In spite of going in as a dark horse, Brooks unseated Chandler to guarantee the title and afterward vanquished him in all the more persuading conditions in a quick rematch. Two title defenses pursued, yet Brooks was never really content with how Bellator were advancing him, thus he moved to the UFC in 2016.
Sadly, the move didn’t satisfy very just as he was anticipating. A strong success over Ross Pearson was a decent begin to his UFC vocation, yet Brooks at that point went on a slide, losing to Alex Oliveira, Charles Oliveira, and Nik Lentz before being discharged from the advancement in 2017.
While he doesn’t go down as a bust on the size of Hector Lombard – generally in light of the fact that he didn’t earn very as much publicity coming into his UFC debut – it was all the while frustrating to see Brooks bomb so hopelessly in the UFC.
It felt like his match, which is based around his magnificent wrestling and cardio – simply didn’t fill in also under the enormous lights, and his horrid record unquestionably makes inquiries of exactly how great Bellator’s Lightweight division really is, especially as Chandler immediately recovered the title there once Brooks had left.
