This is how free agency is supposed to work.

Who knows, he's only 24. He's gonna tap a ton of guys either way. 

It's gonna be fun, so glad they scooped him up.

It's a little weird seeing more and more Bellator guys in the UFC. Good weird though, I like it. They're doing pretty well for themselves so far too!

Give him a real fight

Let him get the winner of Trinaldo vs Felder. Or evan Dunham or Jim Miller as a warm up.

Held vs another jiu-jitsu ace sounds great from a fan perspective

but he's 24, a great international prospect, and super consistent at beating less talented fighters.  So what's the rush from the UFC's perspective.

Let Marcin heel hook a few fringe TUF-alum types to build his profile, then he can move on to bigger and better fights

Glad for Held finally getting the recognition he deserves.  Guy's a ******* elite Lightweight and I am intrigued by who he fights first.

Come on Yossgold Maynard and Northcutt... one is too green the other over the hill. The lowest level guy I would give Held is someone like Kevin Lee.

this signing does nothing for me.  

I don't see him cracking the top 10/12 so kind of blah. 

In the grand scheme of things Bellator got Rory and UFC got Held.  Bellator wins this round of free agency.

Diego probably won't tap to a leglock

Marcin will either have to tear his leg clean off, or find another way to get things done

Good debut fight, hope Marcin aces it
