He soldiered on after the brutal KO and even defended Fortune in that nut-shot fight. I think the shitty performance in the Souwma fight compounded by the Natividad dude getting KTFO by a scrub in the same week just broke him.
He will be back 100% if Fortune beats Mitrione lol
Mowry vs Moldovsky makes sense but I think they are going to book him against another unranked guy. Once Fortune signed his new contract he started fighting better competition. I guess once Mowry does too he will do the same, but in the meantime he will probably have another easy fight.
Mowry vs Ayala, Markes or Sidelnikov
I think Mowry should be above any of them, specially Markes, he would just get embarrassed. But any of those would make sense, I just hope he doesnt fight another gimme fight.
I usually do not like Moldavsky's fights but I think a fight against another grappler who can take him down and take the fight to him would be good.
He's definitely above them but he needs a win over someone from them to add on his resume or maybe even Vassell first
That is the reason why I thought Mowry was ideal to face Mitrione. It would be a name opponent to rise his stock. Mowry has shown vast improvements and is a finisher so I would assume Bellator would push this guy more. But I guess we'll find out what the company has in store for him. I havent read anything about his contractual status but that seems to be Bellator's "modus operandi" and thats sonewhat what Josh Thompson explained once. The amount of money you sign for translates into the quality of opposition you face (it would be interesting to know how much Usman N. signed for, BTW). In Mowry's case, he has faced low level opposition and im assuming it has to do with him being relatively unknown at the time, so hopefully once he re-signs and starts facing the Tim Johnsons, Linton Vassells, even the Sergei Kharitonov (once he heals)...or he seeks free agency and checks out what the UFC is offering.
