I wouldn't be surprised if Bellator MMA will grow exponentially over the next couple of years.
They have Greg Jackson & Randy Couture doing TV shows similar to the Ultimate Fighter series. They also recently acquired Quinton Rampage Jackson and Tito Ortiz. While I think both Tito and Quinton are at the tail end of their careers (Tito actually having been done close to 5 years ago), Greg Jackson and Couture can bring a lot of experience to their federation.
I think what they might also have are deep pockets and a propensity to take care of their fighters. If Jon Jones, Anderson Silva and a few other (maybe 2-3) big names were to hop on over to Bellator, I can see the tide changing.
Heck, as it stands, I only watch the UFC now because there are about 7-9 fighters that I think are worth watching. For most of their pay per views, I just wait to read about the results the next day.
