Great news. Babalu now in the Bellator family. He'll compete in our 205 tourney on Spike in January. Can't wait.

That is a great signing for Bellator but what about his contract w/ ONE FC. Hopefully he can fight for both orgs. similar to fighters like Mousasi in the past who literally had contracts with both DREAM and SF at the same time.

yep...i think he will fight for one fc one or two more times before 2012 ends but 2013 its all about the bellator gp...

Bellator's 205 division is growing with King Mo and now Babalu fleshing it out now. I was thinking that he was signed to ONE, but as has been stated before, hopefully he can fight for both orgs.

Now we need Rebney to hook up with Soa The Hulk for the HW tournament before zoofa get a hold of him. The iron is hot.

Hell yeah, Soa would be a solid fighter but he is suppose to be fighting for ONE as well. Hopefully ONE and Bellator end up with a partnership like SF and DREAM had where these fighters can be shared, cross-promoted, and have dual contracts.

Good LHW are hard to find, he probably passed his prime and his chin isn't that good, but look their roster, it's easily the weak weight class of the promotion, since they are doing major international signs on the HW division.

For news that have flown under the radar, we have learned that Renato Sobral has been forced off ONE FC 5. This has apparently happened a while back, and it also means that their fight card is almost finalized with only Shinya Aoki's opponent yet to be added.
