Big news. Big signing by Bellator. And sets up a potential Bendo-Brooks title fight this year, assuming he goes back down to 155.
Personally, I think it was a smart move by Bendo. Bellator has some studs, but nothing like the UFC right now. He can be a big fish in a small pond. He actually could have a chance at being a two-division champ on Spike.
Will be interesting to see if other current UFC free agents - Overeem, Sterling - sign there as well.

Example: Bellator could offer Bendo 20% of revenue from all live gates that do over $4M. Bellator does not do gates that high, so it's no risk for them to place it in a contract; the UFC does do gates that high.
Aljo has the same manager as Bendo. I expect him to sign with Bellator, but I expect the UFC to throw the bank at Overeem. Mitrione is tough to know.
