He'll never be the Pride Cro Cop again, this seems like a waste. let him crush cans in Japan to end his great career

But a deal with a lot of money peaks interests.

Bellator wanted CroCop and had a deal 99 per cent done when UFC heard about it and stepped in with big $$$ just to keep him from Bellator

on a side note, I don't think this will look good for the UFC on the lawsuit.

No hate for CroCop and he's still better than a few of the fat slobs on the HW roster, but seriously, guys like Ben Askren don't get signed for the sole reason of him or his style not being marketable and an over the hill, already retired and came back 40 year old who most definitely is going to be paid more than Askren was (or at least similarly) is coming back after a lackluster first stint from when he was younger.
What will they say? That he's got better since his last stint? Gained a bit of experience and is now ready for the big show?
Who wants to bet me his first fight is against Ken Shamrock?

I kind of like that the UFC and Bellator hate each other so much. It's kind of entertaining.

Think about it, Bellator was reportedly 99% sealed on a big money offer for Cro Cop. If the UFC came in and out-bid them, it means Cro Cop was able to leverage two top-tier competing promotions against each other to get a lucrative contract.
It's actually a perfect illustration that Bellator/Viacom is a viable competitor to the UFC, at least when it comes to free agent signings.
