The Bellator brand of MMA has unveiled their plans to hold an eight-man light heavyweight Grand Prix tournament, beginning on April 9th and April 16th, complete with some of their hottest new free agent acquisitions. Naturally betting odds have surfaced for who will win this highly anticipated tournament, as well as for those individual matchups — so Bloody Elbow is here to bring you the numbers!

Bellator’s current 205-pound champion, Vadim Nemkov, is favored to come out as the overall GP winner. His ticket to win comes at a value of +190, with his closest competitor being Yoel Romero, who clocks in at a beefy underdog tick of +400. Former Bellator champ-champ Ryan Bader is next up in line with a +550 moneyline, followed by Anthony “Rumble” Johnson at +700.

Both UFC veteran Corey Anderson and Bellator newcomer Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov can be wagered on at +1000 respectively. Rounding out the odds for the tourney winner include former Bellator light heavyweight king Phil Davis at a lofty line of +1600, and then former UFC light heavyweight champ, Lyoto Machida, listed as an astronomical +3300 long shot.

The GP will kick off on April 9th and will see Bader (-350) heavily favored over Machida (+275), and Anderson (-140) as just a slight betting favorite over Yagshimuradov (+110). The second act of the tournament will happen on April 16th and is getting a set of tight betting lines. Romero and Rumble are neck and neck with Yoel favored at -130 and Johnson at +100 even money. Nemkov finds himself as a -150 betting favorite in his rematch with “Mr. Wonderful,” who is sporting a slim underdog value of +120.
