More name fighters are taking a chance on free agency than any time since the dark ages of the UFC. Now, several name fighters that made the jump from the UFC to Bellator are speaking out about why.
What is there to complain about? That's the big question that fighters are answering in the ongoing battle between Bellator and the UFC over free agent talents. As always, the UFC is winning that war. They have more resources, bigger platforms, more fighters, more prestige, and the lure of bigger paychecks at the top. But now more than ever (or at least since the dark days of the late 90's, when the UFC was bleeding talent) fighters are out testing free agency to see if they can get a better deal than what the UFC has to offer.
