A loaded UFC 178 lineup could get even more interesting, as a bout between streaking lightweight Donald Cerrone and Bellator MMA 155-pound kingpin Eddie Alvarez has been targeted for the Sept. 27 event.
Sources close to the bout who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matchup had not yet been finalized confirmed the news to Sherdog.com. The bout is contingent on the UFC acquiring Alvarez’s services from Bellator. Negotiations are ongoing because Alvarez currently remains under Bellator contract at the time of this writing.

Man, that card is already stacked too. Would love to see that fight!
I'll believe it when I see it. Although with Coker running Bellator now, I'm not surprized. No way this would even be considered if Bjorn was still in charge of Bellator.
all part of dana's plan with coker.
RKing85 - I'll believe it when I see it. Although with Coker running Bellator now, I'm not surprized. No way this would even be considered if Bjorn was still in charge of Bellator. If true, he likely let Dana buy out his contract. He's no just gonna let one of his fighters fight in the UFC, but he'd let him go.

Feelz Good - RKing85 - I'll believe it when I see it. Although with Coker running Bellator now, I'm not surprized. No way this would even be considered if Bjorn was still in charge of Bellator. If true, he likely let Dana buy out his contract. He's no just gonna let one of his fighters fight in the UFC, but he'd let him go. That would be good for MMA if they had that relationship
this is why dana wasn't stressing coker joining bellator.
So I'm assuming this means they don't ever want to do another PPV, and thus had to release Ed?
Holy fuck.. that'd be fucking amazing.
DAMN.... that could headline a PPV on it's own!!!
