Well that's a mistake on their part. He's 8-3 in his career with them. Hope Rizin or the UFC pick him up. He's 11-3 and only 29 years old.

I agree. Really does depend on the kind of money they were looking at though.

When bubba first came in he was a real prospect, but seems like he has plateaued. If he was on an over priced bjorn contract, it makes sense.

He might have been in a marcin held type situation. Quality fighter than really doesn't bring return to a company like Bellator. Sucks to see quality fighters get cut, but balancing a budget is the name of the game, especially when the company completely restructured and downsized a couple years prior.

Who knows? Clearing up some money for Larkin? Misha? Story? Perez? More than plausible imo

Jenkins has the ability as a fighter and the personality to be very successful and popular in Rizin.
