ima zombie - Shit I HOPE this is true after all the shit Eddie has had to go thru with Bellator.You mean Eddie not wanting to honor his contract? Kind of sounds like the Nate Diaz situation.
Must see BLAF Fedor losing reaction GIF

Why would Eddie not want to hnor his contract? He was days away from being free and clear. Now he's stuck with a promotion he despises for even longer.
I think Johnny Hendrix has the right idea of training with a football helmet on or whatever he wears.Not sure how the concussion happened so I guess we'll see...
VitorpeepeetasteStrongTRT -So far off from the Nick Diaz situation its not funny. Eddie already fought out his contract, most companies would let go of the matching rights after hearing his feelings but Bjorn was ready to fuck his career over and sit him for years because the company had no other namesduckhuntgangsta -I meant the contract dispute with the matching rights and that whole ordeal.VitorpeepeetasteStrongTRT -ima zombie - Shit I HOPE this is true after all the shit Eddie has had to go thru with Bellator.You mean Eddie not wanting to honor his contract?

Well now I have no reason to get the ppv.
in for tito's pullout/shitty performance due to skull crack
Part of me finds this incredibly funny.
Part of me finds this incredibly sad.
In any case, it sucks that Eddie's injured.
If Bellator keeps the PPV on schedule and they do poor numbers they can defend the poor buy rate because Eddie was not fighting.
1 thing I will never forget about Bellator... A few weeks ago their match maker Sam Caplan posted something on facebook saying something like... "Looking for a pro fighter at WW for upcoming card at X place." I thought that made Bellator look cheap. The #2 mma Org in the world should not be looking for fighters on facebook.
If you're a regional local promotion then facebook is a great way to find fighters but Bellator? Could you imagine the UFC posting something on Facebook looking for fighters? Lol
duckhuntgangsta -Yep release Eddie and the UFC needs to releasethe Diaz brothers.Edit - my heart goes out to Eddie, sucks bad for him.
We all know Bellator does not belong in teh PPV business. They are only doing this to honor Eddies contract so expect another PPV when Eddie defends the belt.
I think BFC should just cut their loses and release Eddie. They are now 0-2 on successful PPVs
*release the*
A concussion suffered in training? Does that mean he got ko'ed? What other ways do you get a concussion in training?

Concussion.
That might have been a blessing in disguise if it causes them to cancel the ppv though. Unless they have already paid for the time slot
Bummer if true
Nexuscrawlers - Bummer if trueIt is true ariel confirmed it with spike tv's pres.
Wow, that's why you dont preorder ppvs. Lol, they better make it a free card.

I_Bungalo_Baboo_Babies - Wow, that's why you dont preorder ppvs. Lol, they better make it a free card.They need to. At this point the prelims are much better than the main card.
duckhuntgangsta -Would be nice to see how their ppv would of done, now with Alvarez out they probably won't go through with it. Shame cause my buddies and I made plans to watch it. Now that's up in the air.gallo_de_ pelea -duckhuntgangsta -Yep release Eddie and the UFC needs to releasethe Diaz brothers.Edit - my heart goes out to Eddie, sucks bad for him.

Well played...more specifically, I meant Bellator should give up the PPV idea which I believe they have to conduct to fullfil Eddie's contact.
Emotionally, I have many much more simpathy for Eddien than the Diaz Brothers. Eddie really did get fucked out of a lot of money and didn't want to spend his prime on the shelf in legal battles.
The Diaz brothers are not happy with the deals they willingly aggreed to. I agree they should get paid more but I think they are going about it the wrong way.
Personally I would love to see Alvarez in the UFC. Bellator like the UFC hold their own interests above the fighters. As a fan of the sport and father of a fighter I always want whats best for the athletes.
As for the Diaz I love watching them fight not in-love with the shit talking thou. Hope they iron things out with the UFC soon.
