With all the trash comments I've been reading about Bellator, after the Bendo signing. I have to come to their defense. Most fans' perspective is that if you're not in the UFC, you're not an elite MMA fighter. I would argue that outside of the top ten of each division, the UFC would be like any other MMA org.
Then you have these non informed fans who post comments saying Bellator doesn't have the money to sign top tier fighters, or Bellator will go broke from signing the elite guys. Comments like that only reiterate the fact that they are casual fans with limited MMA knowledge. If you know who owns Bellator, then you would know that they have the money to sign Conor, if the opportunity presented itself.
