It either ends up being another trainwreck I get to watch on TV, or good competition I get to watch on TV. Very happy either way, more MMA options on TV is always good

I am seeing the internet explode so here is a short statement from me about the situation with the WBKFF.

If you didn’t read my first Facebook post on November 15th, I suggest to read it so you have at least an understanding of what we were dealing with and know why this is happening. So if you are on my FB page, scroll down a few posts, if you are not on my FB page, you can read it here: https://www.facebook.com/146491048754602/posts/2269748513095501/

As you could read in that statement is that Tom the owner, was in the hospital a week before the fight because of all the crap that happened and the stress Paul Tyler has inflicted, and Tom’s health is not doing better, so I have been trying to get a hold of him (since yesterday already) and he just called me back saying he went to home early because it’s driving him nuts.

He just assured me that the fighters WILL be paid 100% certain, also the cars (Mustangs) that were promised to Julian Lane and Joey Angelo WILL be there once they go through inspection. These cars are “one of a kind” cars, special engine, color, rims, wrap around it, etc, they just need inspection before they are going to be OK’d, that’s why. And since Tom has his mind ONLY on getting money for the fighters, it, unfortunately, it is taking longer

The last 5 weeks have been insane, the only thing that Tom and his team have been trying to do is to get that money “unfrozen” from the bank and other possibilities so that they can pay the fighters. This is VERY important to Tom, I hope you understand and believe that.

All the fighters who didn’t get paid, all those fighter’s emails, texts, phone calls, etc, have been answered immediately, all of them! He has also been sending money to fighters who needed “fast cash” for food, rent, car payments whatever they needed it for, Tom wired them the amount they asked for immediately. (You can ask the fighters themselves). Does that look like a man who doesn’t care and doesn’t want to pay the fighters?
So yes, they have not been paid in full, but again, they are all working on it really hard and promised it WILL happen

I cannot say anything anymore because of certain reasons which will come out once everybody is taken care off.

Personally, I can tell you that it has been on MY mind every single day since the event, and I know 100% certain it has been on Tom’s mind every single day as well since I have talked to him MANY times. It has been driving us crazy as well

We are VERY sorry that this is happening, it’s a freaking nightmare and we know that the fighters need money, at least you know now why it’s happening (if you read the other post), not that it makes everything easier for the fighters, of course it’s not making it easier, but at least you know WHY it is happening.
And one more time, he JUST told me that the fighters WILL get paid 100% certain!

Sincerely,

Bas

Oh, and we didn't take down our website down, 100% NOT, apparently we are still worked against. It will come back on again. I am just saying this because people looked into this as it was "proof we screwed the fighters", again, 100% we did NOT do this.

Godspeed

It's gonna get lost amidst...basically everything about that result lol, but props to Bellator for the clusterfuck heavyweight tournament I 100% didn't believe nothing would go wrong in. Every advertised fight happened, nobody got pulled and replaced, and we had comedy moments like 4 of the 7 fights not getting past the first round and 3 of them not lasting a minute. I got what I hoped for

What are promotion's obsession with putting a title on King Mo? Is it the crown?

They want a light heavy champ, these two are available, and Mo beat Jiri 4 years ago

The ref didn't see the towel, and when the one fighter's corner visibly climbed the cage I assume the other fighter's corner did the same offscreen because they thought something stupid would happen, and the combination of it all caused something stupid to happen anyway

Nah. Make no mistake, he is an rear end in a top hat, but I just wouldn't say it's to the volume or degree Floyd is

Light heavyweight Christian Edwards will be paid his show money by Bellator despite not having his fight on Friday's card. His scheduled opponent Roman Huerta missed weight

By 22 pounds https://www.instagram.com/p/BvRvZvrFxoL/

Christian Edwards posted:

Well I have some bad news. My fat, piece of poo poo, opponent didn't make weight. He was at 227!!! Wtf!!! So they cancelled my loving fight. I'm so sorry to everyone who bought tickets to come watch me crush this scrub, but it is what it is I guess. I was so loving excited about fighting in my home state. I'll be back Oklahoma. I promise. Thank you everyone.

Lol holy poo poo a fight went to the scorecards because one of the fighters wasn't engaging so much, and after the fight, the president of BKFC came into the ring and announced that he was giving half of the losing fighter's pay to the winner.

Probably is actually legal in Mississippi

Is he in the tournament, or the "season"? Remember that there's just a bunch of fights before the tournament, then the top performers, ranked by a points system, fill out the bracket. This guy might just get KOed and never seen again.

Looks like just the season, everyone outside of light heavy and heavy has only had one fight so far https://www.pflmma.com/standings

He'll likely go by Alberto El Patron which he is able to use, but more people know him as Del Rio so that's how some news sites still refer to him when tweeting/posting about him
