The Featherweight Grand Prix quarterfinal matchups are as follows (h/t MMA Mania).

Bellator 226

Daniel Straus (26-8) vs. Derek Campos (19-9)
Pat Curran (23-8) vs. Adam Borics (13-0)
Emmanuel Sanchez (18-4) vs. Tywan Claxton (5-0)
Sam Sicilia (16-9) vs. Pedro Carvalho (10-3)

Bellator 228

Patricio Pitbull (29-4) vs. Juan Archuleta (23-1)
Darrion Caldwell (13-3) vs. Henry Corrales (17-3)
Daniel Weichel (39-11) vs. Saul Rogers (13-2)
A.J. McKee (14-0) vs. Georgi Karakhanyan (28-9-1, 1 NC)

The reigning featherweight champion, Patricio “Pitbull” Freire, will be defending his title throughout this Grand Prix tournament, starting with his Bellator 228 fight with top contender Juan Archuleta. That means that the title could conceivably change hands multiple times throughout the tournament.

Who are you picking to win this Featherweight World Grand Prix? Will Freire be the champ at the end of it all, or will the division be ruled by somebody else?
