It's a shame the cans didn't pull out wins to screw it all up.

I don't normally watch bellator fights and saw 70 posts in the thread. I wondered if there was a fight worth watching, but ran into wonderful news instead.

Rampage vs. Mo is the fight only the morbidly curious want to see.

I haven't ever been called morbidly anything before, but I feel it is appropriate right now.

Yeah Bellator will dock the pay of fighters who don't sell their tickets so that they can still call those tickets "sold."

EDIT: I can't find a link right now because google just wants to sell me tickets.

It's a shame Eddie didn't fight though because he would have won and been a free agent champion.

My guess is Bellator trying to change the terms of Alverez's contract to lock him in for more fights to change the fight. Alvarez likely said he'd fight either but refused to extend for it, so he's stuck with a third chandler fight. Bellator better hope that Chandler can somehow win.

Has there every really been doubt that Viacom would clean house eventually?

I mean they want to compete head to head with the UFC. That doesn't really seem like what Bellator's MO was prior to the purchase. I think Rebney's been a lame duck since the purchase.


EDIT: Coker announcement is supposed to come later today and will include a conference call.

Bellator's 2014 is shaping up quite like UFC's 2012.

I dunno, UFC ran a tournament in 2012.

If you consider the bullshit in Australia "running" a tournament, then sure.

Coker has a money spigot in viacom that he never had in strike force. If he's given the full reigns we are going to see some poo poo.
