I hope Gil does great in Bellator and he Eddie and Chandler put great exciting fights for the fans. thet will set an exaple to other fighters and the UFC may think twice before bullying a fighter in the future ( at least the good ones)

It will be a double-edged sword. We won't be able to see ALL the best fight each other, but the UFC will not be in a position to bully its fighters with such impunity as they are now able to get away with. Today, they can get away with murder because its fighters are terrified of being thrown out and ruining their careers.
Multiple strong MMA groups will have its good points and its negative ones. I think we all remember the bad old days of boxing when the situation was impossible and it killed boxing.

But the negotiations might be long, tedious and intense. But where there's a will, there's a way.
Co-promotion is not the boogie man that everyone in the house makes it out to be. Co-promotion need not be a 50-50 split. It could be 90-10 or 80-20 or anything else.

What other sports company accomplished such a rare achievement? The norm in America is for sports companies to from into leagues, and even for leagues to form and compete in a grand annual super event, like the world series or SuperBowl.

I've also heard that Dave was told by Bellator saying that they would, and I quote, "give him a can" to keep him busy. Which I doubt will fly with him.
The tournaments mean jack **** if the winners can't fight the champ like they are supposed to. While they are enjoyable, they need to get that **** under control. Otherwise, all it will do is make fans and fighters unhappy. To be completely honest, I don't feel Bellator needs to do tournaments anymore... but I don't feel as they should do away with them completely.
