Well Dana was fucking right. It's gonna get ugly and here we go... Who knows how much time will be wasted of Eddie's career with this bull.

I'm getting the impression they offered to match the pay, but will only have him fight 1-2 times a year and he would rather go to ufc to fight 2-3 times a year against better opponents for a chance at the big bucks. Could also have to do with sponsorships. Its a bummer, I feel for the guy. He seems to be trying his best and bellator is effing him over. Scummy and questionable behavior by bellator |

in_different - I'm getting the impression they offered to match the pay, but will only have him fight 1-2 times a year and he would rather go to ufc to fight 2-3 times a year against better opponents for a chance at the big bucks. Its points on PPV, I suspect Bellator matched the show/win... Bellator cant match a % of X when X is an undetermined variable. |

Can people finally stop acting like Bjorn is a much better guy than Dana, and one who respects his athletes? He's a businessman, just like every other promoter. It all comes down to being profitable and controlling as much of the market as possible. Stop pretending that Bellator fights for the little guy. They don't.

Alvarez had the chance to sign with Zuffa a long time ago.. he's the one who fucked up, what did he thing would happen? But I hate seeing fighters being sued for shit like this. Fuck Bellator! |

Matrixkick - I'm not pro UFC and I'm not pro bellator. What exactly is going on? I missed the first few minutes of the interview - Bellator did not match UFC's offer so they're suing him? Is that correct? Thanks |

^ bellator didnt match the offer so they are suing eddie to keep him on the sidelines as punishment for not resigning with them. standard operating procedures for bellator. |

TheAssMurderer -So it's being said...Matrixkick - I'm not pro UFC and I'm not pro bellator. It just sucks for Eddie. He's going to go through this bs now. I wonder how many fights he could have had without all of this controversy! I realize he's to blame to some extent, BUT STILL!

Bellator is just sullying their brand with this stuff. Just let him go. Its to early in the game for you guys to think you can match zuffa. Get your spike shit straight and then see if you can enter the ppv market. |
