It’s tournament season, and that got us thinking …

What would happen if we took the best champions in Bellator history and matched them up, bracket style? Who would wind up the best champ of all time?

So with the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four upon us, we’re giving you the chance to vote for your favorite Bellator champions ever.

Check out the bracket above (or open it in a new window here), then click through to vote in our polls for each of the matchups. The first-round voting will end tonight at midnight ET, and we’ll get the next round going after that. Everything will culminate Monday night when we crown our all-time best Bellator champ – through your votes – around the same time we have a new NCAA men’s basketball champion.

(Disclaimer: Fighter seeding was done largely based on total number of title-fight victories. To make the field, fighters had to have had at least two wins in title fights and/or have held the rare distinction of being a two-division champion. Not all fighters who qualified based on those criteria made the final field of 16.)

Don’t like the seeding? Don’t like the 16 fighters in the field? Sound off in the comments – but most importantly, just vote.
