Welcome to Fightful MMA's weekly fighter rankings (as of 10/20/21).
Bellator's Light Heavyweight Grand-Prix's semifinals took place last weekend and perhaps nobody had a better weekend then Corey Anderson, who wasted no-time in dispatching of Bellator's former 205-pound champion, Ryan Bader and secured his spot in the finals against current champion, Vadim Nemkov, who also found himself advancing when he stopped Julius Anglickas in the night's main event.
