Losing 3 in a row may have people overlooking a Fedor Emelianenko fight but realistically he still is an interesting draw and always provides excitement win or loss. A win over Monson won't get him back to the top of the Heavyweight mountain but it will prove he still has something left in the gas tank of his historic career.
2. Eddie Alvarez vs Michael Chandler taking place at Bellator 58 on November 19th
Alvarez looks to defend his Bellator Lightweight title for a 2nd time as he takes on season 4 tournament winner Michael Chandler. Alvarez is wildly considered a top 10 Lightweight and although Chandler is a formidable opponent it is a must win fight for the champion if he wants to stay in the rankings of the tough division as the only non UFC fighter.
3. Douglas Lima vs Ben Saunders taking place at Bellator 57 on November 12th
The main event at Bellator 57 features the Welterweight tournament final with the winner getting a title shot against Ben Askren. The winner of this bout isn't about to gain top 10 status in the division but they certainly will be someone to keep an eye one in the future.
4. Alexander Shlemenko vs Vitor Vianna taking place at Bellator 57 on November 12th
A middleweight tournament final bout in what has been an outstanding tournament full of great fights. Shlemenko and Vianna are the last 2 men standing and will be looking for a shot at Hector Lombard's title.
5. Hector Lombard vs Trevor Prangley taking place at Bellator 58 on November 19th
Lombard has to wait for the Shlemenko vs Vianna bout to defend his title next but in the mean time he will take on veteran Prangley in a non title bout. Not being able to fight UFC competition puts Lombard's ranking in doubt to some so a win against Prangley is a must for him and should be motivated to do so.
