Eddie wants to accept the Zuffa offer and feels bellator hasn't matched... that is the bottom line.  Let him go.. build up Chandler and move on.  No reason to get butt hurt (I mean Bellator)... I love Bellator though.  I see why fans are irritated, but like @Greg said.. this does happen.  I hope cooler heads prevail.  Bellator has to realize the talent they have even w/out Eddie.

If they let Eddie go without a fight, guys like Chandler, Askren, and whoever else will assume that they, too will be able to go to the UFC if they want.

It's as much about Eddie Alvarez as it's about setting the precedent for the next 10 situations like this one.

Holding guys careers hostage though is not the way to bring in new talent. Why would you sign with an organization that when it comes time to move on takes you to court?  You have to also look at long term effects.  Plus the fact that Bellator signs year deals and not fight deals is a little ridiculous.

Rebney takes like ... 10 minutes every press conference trying to make his fighters believe that they are actually one of the best in the world ... not in their division .. the world. Stop trying to kiss their ass, he knows when possible they will make the jump to the UFC so he sucks up soo hard its ridiculous.

If they're anything like Jon Jones then yes, absolutely yes.

Bjorn Rebney is Satan in promoting form? Read what Greg just posted. If you guys think Bjorn is bad than you obviously have no idea about how ugly business can get.

Bjorn seems like a pretty cool dude. He does BJJ and actually has rolled with some of his fighters. However, his attitude towards contracts and trying to keep fighters in Bellator is kinda douchy.
