Brazilians Marcos “Lôro” Galvão, Luis “Betão” Nogueira, Alexandre Popó Bezerra and Rodrigo “Ratinho” Lima will go up against American Ed West and Travis Marx, Cuba’s Alexis Vila and Japan’s Masakatsu Ueda to find out who will be the next to get a shot at the Bellator bantamweight title, by winning the 135-pound GP. Set to kick off in May, the tournament will pay out 100 big ones, besides a shot at the current champion.
Zach Makovsky is the currently the man to beat, however, 2011 GP winner Dudu Dantas will get his due title fight at a date yet to be determined. Should Dantas win, he will defend his crown against the winner of the upcoming GP.
