Bellator's 5 Greatest Moments
By: Jeff Sherwood

Toby Imada vs. Jorge Masvidal
Bellator 5, May 1, 2009 -- Dayton, Ohio
What can you say about this? It is the clip that helped put Bellator on the map. It was everywhere.
With over a million views just on the official Bellator YouTube channel -- not including how many saw it on TV, on another YouTube channel or somewhere else -- word got out about Bellator because of what Imada accomplished. This coming at a time when Bellator was on just their fifth show and people were still skeptical about the tournament format they were running.
Imada’s inverted triangle, even if it was in a forgettable organization, will go down in history as one of the best submissions in MMA history. Plus, to make things even more story-like, Jorge Masvidal was dominating the fight up until the finish. Imada, a total journeyman until that remarkable victory, told the tale with his face when his hand was being raised in victory.
Bjorn Rebney calling highlights "Bellator moments" all started with this fight right here. Read more -
ESPN MMA's Hot Button: Melendez's Next Challenger
By: Sherdog.com Staff
This week, Sherdog.com Administrative Editor Jordan Breen and ESPN.com's Chuck Mindenhall debate whether or not Jorge Masvidal deserves to be the next Strikeforce lightweight title challenger.
Masvidal was brilliant on Saturday night against K.J. Noons, but should that mean Gilbert Melendez is next? Or is this the perfect opportunity for some more UFC-Strikeforce crossover in an effort to get Melendez an elite-level challenger?
