I doubt there's any bad blood between Dana and Bonnar over that. Bellator gave him an offer, Bonnar let UFC know exactly what was happening and they said sure, help us bankrupt this organization.

Reminder that stephan bonnar was once filmed cleaning the dumpster at the TUF gym

The UFC was fine with Franklin becoming the President of ONEFC while still under contract to them, and Dana still likes Coker as opposed to Bjorn, so this doesn't necessarily mean Bonnar is on the outs. Although if he wasn't I would wonder why he isn't just fighting in the UFC. Maybe he wants to actually win a title for once, or maybe he just wants to beat up Tito.

Yeah I was going to post about the Franklin OneFC deal. That is way more troublesome for UFC's global expansion into a territory they desperately want compared to Bonnar fighting Rampage Jackson on some indian reservation. I'm guessing UFC doesn't want to give Bonnar a contract because they would prefer he stay retired and they don't want him hurting his UFC image more than the 2nd failed drug test may have already done, and Bellator will give him way more exposure than they would. Like in UFC Bonnar would be fighting St. Preux on a Fight Pass card, but in Bellator he'll be featured on the PPVs and main eventing Spike shows. And as everyone brings up, Bonnar beating Tito is worth it.

Or at least Tito fired back via twitter at some screenshot of a post that was supposedly Bonnar calling him a virus on MMA who has boring fights and must be stopped.

I wonder if the Alvarez deal had anything to do with it. We'll give you 1 LW who wants a million dollars in a division we can't support for 1 LHW that is more personable than all of our others put together (- Joey Beltran).

Even though it has been explained to me on these boards, I still cannot comprehend why people find Joey Beltran "personable" or why they want to watch his fights.

I know the conversation has moved on but I just wanted to add that Newton vs Vegh II was one of the worst fights I've ever seen and what a horrible display of wrestling by two people who have no idea how to wrestle. Bonnar will be fun. A fight against the Mexecutioner would be a classic sloppy rear end American Psycho war. Maybe even 5 rounds for the title (lol).

More regional MMA in regions the UFC is expanding into is manifestly good for the UFC and Victor Cui explicitly does not plan on going head to head with the UFC.

I'll die happy if I can see him flex and grin one more time, especially with a belt over his shoulder. Let him juice, he's charming and old.

I completely forgot it was happening, so in case anyone else here is like me: reminder that ONE FC has a card tomorrow. Featuring such luminaries as Roger Huerta, James McSweeney, and Jadamba Narantungalag (who, for the first time in his career, doesn't have the hardest-to-spell name on the card; that honor goes to Dejdamrong Sor Amnuaysirichoke). There is also an Askren fight, and the main event is Aoki vs. Kamal "Varner Vasectomy" Shalorus. Full card here. Should be fun. $10 iPPV @ onefc.livesport.tv, starts 6PM ET Friday.

If Bellator becomes the place to watch UFC retirees like Bonnar and Tito have ridiculous fights with each other why would the UFC have a problem with that. It puts Bellator squarely in B-leagues and works as advertising for the current UFC fighters.

The countdown on their website says it starts ~20 hours from now, but it could well be wrong. If anybody finds out for sure, please post the time here. E: The streaming website says 15:00 GMT which I guess is 11AM EDT? The countdown on the main website doesn't make any sense then but whatevs E2: according MMAjunkie it starts at 7AM EDT and Sherdog says 10AM?? I can't keep all these time zones in my head at once.
