xFINISHxHIMx Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 http://www.mmamania.com/2014/2/17/5421174/bellator-ceo-bjorn-rebney-ufc-superstars-gilbert-melendez-dana-white-mma "We're going after everybody, more-and-more often. I think there's a bigger picture issue. The biggest thing is there are two major players in MMA. It's far and away better for the fighters. When a fighter has one option, he has no power at the negotiating table. But, when he has two options, the fighter has all the negotiating power. That's actually counter intuitive, coming from the CEO of a fight company. But that's the truth. And my checkbook may take a shot because of it. But, if the fighters can earn what they feel they deserve, overall we and the sport will be in a better place. You're going to see much more of this as we move forward, guys coming from the smallest regions where we find undiscovered talent, to the superstars from the UFC and other guys we find in the United States." Do you think that other high profile fighters will follow the footsteps of Gil and Nick, and leave the Ultimate Fighting Dictatorship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays_Hero Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I could see roy nelson, hendo and Anderson among others all good there soon. The sad part is Roy is leagues above the best Bellator HW while he's struggling to hold a top 10 ranking in the UFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
