it was Frankie's first fight at feather after losing two consecutive decisions to Bendo...

Second fight at feather, fought Oliveira first! Just messin mate.

So I decided to check out the reach stuff and I went through the top three or four fights of the last bellator and UFC cards, figuring that those guys were top billed so the reach stats would be more accurate. The categories are close (-200 max fav.), average (-450 max fav.) and high odds (-450 +) of the match-up. I know its a small sample size but still kinda interesting.
