EDIT:: And Rory's a bit more than a litmus test for all three of them.

I dont really know what to think about Larkin he´s an entertaining fighter but he hasnt build a name yet at least not with casual fans. I dont know if the UFC is willing to bump up the cash for him. Bellator would ge thrilled to get an exciting fighter like him on his ranks imo. specially since Guillard has been mediocre at best
Ive never been a fan of Rory, but he is one of the fighters that is badly underpaid, he has a ton of followers and the UFC kind of lost his interest in him after the Ellenberger fight, I think he is very poorly marketed just like 90% of the UFC roster, but he has the skills to become a star. I hope he can achieve that in Bellator.
UFC is going to keep bleeding talent to them

He's top 10 in two divisions, has a dominant win over the 155 champ, has a great fanbase, fights frequently, always brings it. If Dana says something about moving needles and tries to underpay him he needs to up and go.

Bendo's striking is ... ok. His main advantage is how he transitions between the aspects of the game with the grappling being where he truly shines. most top level welterweights will be strong enough to keep him striking with them and expose him.

Of course sponsors won't pay as much to be seen in a Bellator even as they would a UFC event and of course Bendo has fought enough times in the UFC for the Reebok money to not completely suck, that said, Bellator are most likely paying him much more show/win money and just the fact that he could easily double the Reebok sponsorship money if he could use his own sponsors on the UFC along with the fact that he doesn't even get to negotiate with "his sponsor" and try and argue his worth must be pretty frustrating.
