Honestly I wish UFC did view Bellator as a threat and cared about what they did. Would force them to not let certain names guy like Mousasi, Rory, Bader, Bendo, just cutting Romero and Anderson mid contract etc.
That they'd go out and try and steal Bellator talent.
If Bellator had a big show like Sat they'd say lets go crush them and put a good title fight on ESPN to counter.
But they dont. They dont care one bit. They'll cut any name, release guys and let them go over, dont care about running a shit show against Bellator card cause they have so much guaranteed revenue they are too big to fail. They do 10x the viewers and make 10x the revenue.
The days of Dana's tombstone are long gone.
