  1. Bellator’s biggest free agent signing ever was Rampage. Not Bendo, Rory, or Tito. Biggest free agent signings by Bellator IMO are: Rampage, Bendo, Rory Mac, Phil Davis, Lashley, King Mo, Kimbo, Tito, Aaron Pico, Ed Ruth, Fortune, baby slice, Joey Davis, Kongo, Kharitonov, Daley, Honeycutt, Yankova.

    Best signings IMO: Bendo, Davis, Rory Mac, King Mo, Lashley, Pico, Ruth, Fortune, Joey Davis, Yankova, baby Slice.

    I highly doubt Bellator offered Cerrone 350k per fight to come to Bellator. I think those rumors are false. Hbu?

    How much do you think Bellator, ONE, Rizin, or WSOF would be willing to offering Lorenz Larkin per fight? Or how much would you offer him if you were a promoter?

    Do you think Bellator is paying Rory more per fight than any free agent they ever signed?

    Do you think Jared Rosholt ends up signing with WSOF in the near future? And what do you think happens with Sarah Kaufman?

    What are you hearing about the vacant Bellator title plans and Lashley’s next fight?

    Do you think Lesnar gets banned for life? He passed his first 5 drug tests. And failed 2 outta his last 3.

      1. Nm on Lashley’s next fight and Jared Rosholt Signing with WSOF. Those 2 were just answered lol. And Scott Coker just said they were gonna sign a couple of hw fighters. And it looks like they are gonna do a HW Grand Prix next yr to crown new champ.

  2. What do you think of Shlemenko vs Grove fight booking? So that means Grove re-signed with Bellator.

  3. Paul Bradley wasn’t released. His contract was up and they chose not to re-sign him. But Bellator has made some very mind boggling decisions over the past few yrs. Idk wtf their plan truly is.

    1. Bellator did not offer Bradley a new contract when it expired. Basically, they did not want to be in the Paul Bradley business. Just not a fan of his fighting style.

      1. I’m not saying them not re-signing Paul Bradley is mind boggling. Some of the guys they released over the yrs and recently were very surprising.

        Plus what are they doing with their women’s divisions? just putting on one off fights. I hope they have plans for their 125 and 145 women’s divisions.

        Some of the guys they cut they should have kept and the guys they’ve kept they should’ve cut.

        Scott Coker just wants big names/ notable names. He doesn’t want to have a roster full of great fighters.

        But Bellator is bigger and better than they’ve ever been. Even with a lot of really good fighters not with them anymore. They still have a pretty solid roster.

        Their ratings are pretty good. Attendance and gate up big time since Coker took over. A ton more media covering them. They’ve had a lot more international deals and have done some events outside of US/ Canada. They re- signed a lot of their guys. Big time free agents wanna fight for Scott Coker.

        Ppl only focus on the negatives with Bellator. But they’re a lot more positives than negative IMO.

        The ppl that talk shit about Bellator all the time are mostly UFC fans that want there to be a UFC only world. Also ppl from the previous regime hate the new Bellator.

        2. Please tell me exactly all the question and comments you are asking about since the thread of this post is long. I know I discussed some of your comments on my most recent podcast. Leave them all in response to this please.

  4. Did you see the Guardian headline that said “welterweight Rory Macdonald quits UFC and heads to Bellator”?

    He was a free agent and made a smart business decision. UFC fans need to get over it. There’s gonna be some top guys going to Bellator. UFC can’t keep them all. They have only so many they can pay big money to.

    What are your thoughts about Bellator making Lashley vs Applet? I think it’s a complete joke. And I think Bellator gave him some tough opponent options, but he declined them. Lashley only talks about fighting guys like Fedor or Kongo. But he loves crushing cans too much.

    1. I did not see that headline by the Guardian. On Lashley, there are other matchups I would have rather seen Bellator book than Josh Appelt.

  5. Can you ask Bellator if Adam McDonough and Zayats are still under contract with them?

    1. Oh and ask about Brian Rogers as well. I know he tweeted he was cut. But I wanna really know for sure. I’d appreciate it if you could ask Bellator about those 3 fighters.

      1. Brian Rogers was released from his contract. Last time I talked to McDonough, he was still recovering from injuries (shoulder). Haven’t heard anything recent about Zayats.
