From the UFC? Think they've got a chance with Rory? What big name fighters do you think they can sign in the next couple years?

Really comes down to if the ufc can match offers. If it was blind negotiations I think Bellator would get almost anyone they want. I would expect that their initial offerers are more valuable than ufc's. But ufc waits for an offer then matches it. At that point it would be hard to leave the ufc.

Agreed. That's concerning...Bellaton paying way above what the UFC is willing to match. Overpaying.

Obviously over paying is based on how much money that fighter can bring to the org. If all offers are equal one would have to stay in the ufc. Coker has been successful in the game for a long time so I want to believe he is paying a fair price. While the ufc is using their name brand as a negotiating point to low ball offers.

people have been saying for years that Bellator needs a name change, and I think this one might be a winner. Let's hope Coker gets wind of this thread
