"When a fighter’s earned a shot at the world title by winning The Toughest Tournament in Sports and competes in a title fight that knocks fans like us back in our seats (win or lose) delivering an incredible fight, when a rematch is called for, we will deliver it,"Rebney wrote on an open letter to fans posted on the company website. "Championship fights give us some of the greatest moments in MMA. And, re-matches of incredible championship fights will give fans like us more of those electrifying moments, while staying true to the world’s best fighters having had to earn their way to those title shots." http://www.mmafighting.com/2012/11/26/3693348/bellator-introduces-championship-fight-rematches

Alvarez/Chandler 2 Would have been Epic! Looks like Spike is trying to make things interesting. |

It strikes me as silly that they have this ultra restrictive policy regarding matchmaking and now they're making exceptions to it while still pretending like it's some ultra important/sacred thing. Why not just say "we're going to make exceptions to the championship policy when appropriate" and be done with it? I mean really, does King Mo really need to win 3 fights against lower level guys to prove he's worthy of a shot at M'Pumbu or Attila Vegh? It's ridiculous. |

Tomato Can - It strikes me as silly that they have this ultra restrictive policy regarding matchmaking and now they're making exceptions to it while still pretending like it's some ultra important/sacred thing. Exactly. Or say Rampage. Say Page loses to Glover, leaves the UFC goes to Bellator and wins a fight, Page vs Mo for the LHW title on Spike is the biggest fight they can make. Why risk Page losing in a tournament before you get that big money fight out of him. |
