I miss the days where every Bellator event had a part of a tournament.  It made it much more exciting.

Is Bellator really only doing 8 fights for an event that happens in 25 days?

@rappinpapsoda Bellator is doing the best they can! In a difficult sport in difficult times! And selling out a few 10 thousand + capacity arenas while doing so

And theres the million dollar tournaments thats a dream win for any fighter, personally I would go for that chance over a UFC contract

However I don't agree with some fighters who were cut

yeah I would actually argue their quality has gone up since moving to showtime. they are second rate to ufc but not a bad promotion by any means

Bjorn Rebney and Scott Coker have done a great job building it up, and alot of fights have been fought in the Bellator cage now, heres to many more, and many more million dollar tournaments

C'mon Bellator, I get that Brennan is young but hasn't he already beaten enough middle-of-the-road journeymen? Are we really going to learn anything from this?

@rappinpapsoda sorry for talking down to you there, I just think its important to have alternatives to the UFC, and Bellator do a decent job

I see Bellator signed Tofiq Musayev the other day. Another good signing for them. And interesting built in story lines with him having a win over Patricky already.

According to Rosta this is the third time Cotton's pulled out from a fight against him. Romero don't want that "fighter with a pulse" smoke.

And now he gets a guy who hasn't beat anyone with a winning record since 2016! You might as well rebook him on another event at that point.
