Everyone Gravitating Toward Bellator...

Is it me or am I seeing a lot of former UFCers at Bellator?

They all look happy to be there...

BJ Penn, Cain, Stitch etc.

I think a lot of them feel the fun times in UFC are done but the UFC is the top organization so you need to be there, but bellator feels like why they got into the sport. Phone Post 3.0

I completely agree with you.

It's undeniable that the UFC is the top organization but anyone who has achieved their dreams and doesn't need to prove anything is going to gravitate toward Bellator because, as you stated, it's fun and more about why they got into this to start with. Phone Post 3.0

These guys grew up watching pride and WWF it was a spectacle an enjoyable one at that. Suit and tie, uniforms, don't fit right with warriors Phone Post 3.0

Bellator has signed Pico. They just need to get a few of the younger guys early and have them develop under the Bellator banner. The UFC currently has a stranglehold on the MMA market but is seemingly losing its appeal. In any business unhappy employees seek better working conditions. Bellator is in position to make a legitimate competitive product.

I'm a longtime mma fan. Haven't really watched a UFC event in a couple years. It's just gotten stale to me. I don't know. This Bellator event tonight has really brought back that feeling from so many years ago. Phone Post 3.0

Even GSP was in the back with Carmont. If Aldo and Jones were in attendance this would be the best crowd of all time. Phone Post 3.0

I have to agree, the UFC is losing its appeal. I don't know what it is, but something is happening and it's just not the same.

Something is happening. American demand for MMA is growing again and not only the UFC is benefiting.

I'm the biggest MMA fan EVER. I watch every Ronda interview and movie, and read every UG thread about her. I've never actually watched a fight, but it seems neat. Phone Post 3.0
