Kimbo was scheduled to main event the London card.Pretty sure, Kimbo got busted in Bellator right before he died and Shamrock got busted also.

This may also be the reason that fighters like Sergey Kharitonov dont bother to sign with the UFC

Well there are two sides to every story, and the truth "usually" lies somewhere in between. He claims that it was a two part decision to leave his biggest offer on the table with the UFC.
1. The exclusive UFC contract policy. (Which he said WILL DO, so long as:
2. He could get a three fight per year GUARANTEE from the UFC to sign an exclusive contract.
Sounds reasonable to me. In 2009 with only 200 fighters on the roster the average WAS 3 fights per year for a UFC fighter. That has changed since the UFC feels the need to have 620+ fighters on the roster now, and the average fights per year for UFC fighters has dropped below 1.4!
The blowback they'd get from an AC if they did makes it not worth it. And Kimbo's suspension was only 30 day (GO TEXAS!), it was up months before he died, let alone before he was scheduled to fight.London doesn't care about SAC suspensions and neither does Bellator. That's why I laughed when people act like the UFC can't give suspended fighters a fight outside of the states.
Bellator fighters are all natural bro

We also never hear them complain about pay eitherdo we? why is that? Because they didnt hire USADA?
In fact i know 2 fighters from bellator (one current and one former) they told me they've never been tested...
