I don't even know what to say...Bellator's contracts are seriously a joke the way they tie people down.

This is all probably part of an evil ploy by Bjorn Rebney to make Joe Warren the BW and FW champ like they once intended

What i got from this is that they want to prevent Tyson from competing elsewhere. Reminds me of M-1 and Vinny Magalhaes. I think this is also what they tried to do with Jonathan Brookins.

Booo...I don't like those contracts one bit. To prevent a fighter from fighting long after the contract ended should be illegal.

Bellator is just trying to cover their ass, they dont want Nam losing outside the org while Dantas is champ

If this was such a problem, why did he not say something or stop the fight from happening in the first place. This case will either fall through or Nam will get away unharmed.

It seems to me that Bellator had no problem letting Eduardo Dantas fight for another MMA org, because they expressed no distain or any kind of comment what-so-ever about the fight until Tyson Nam beat Dantas. Sounds like Bellator is being petty, vengeful, and vindictive all because their golden bantamweight got his ass handed to him. Not that I ever had that much respect for Bellator in the first place, but what little respect I had for them as an MMA org just went out the window with this little stunt.

Suing Tyson Nam because he won. That's ******* ********.

This is why I used to laugh at people who would hold Bellator in some lofty angelic position in how they run their business and draft contracts compared to Zuffa.

I doubt he gets into the UFC, he looked like an amateur until he caught Dantas
