Is Curtis Blaydes Bellator bound?

[strongstylekarate]

UFC top heavyweight contender Curtis "Razor" Blaydes is on his last fight contract with the UFC against Alistair Overeem,

And he said he is seeking better opportunities (better pay)....

Will the UFC match the pay that he wanted,

Or a new UFC top contender will move to another promotion possibly Bellator?

Wouldn't surprise me. I hope Bellator continues to get some big names/up and comers. Dana sucks.

 

[Go Go Plata]

The HW division overall is so bad that Blaydes is a top contender. Smh

Do you know how many fights you signed on for with the UFC for the new deal?

Yes. It’s eight fights.

If Blaydes beats Overeem he is the #1 contender in the UFC. I dont think he is going away.

Also he is young and most of UFC HW division are fossils or really not that good. He is top 5 by default and will keep being that way.

hes gonna stay with the ufc i think even if he loses and especially if he wins. cant see bellator offering him much since hes a wrestler, he might be another Kongo for them

It really shows you how shallow HW is in the UFC. Overeem is 2-2 in his last 4 and 1 win away from a title shot.

Fake news. Signed a new deal before Reem.

I'd just like to point out that @SalvadorAllende , @mime and @george14 should read threads before commenting.

I don't think that Blaydes being a top contender shows how awful the HW division is. Having Oleyinik, Tuivasa and Albini all in the top 15 tho... Yikes.

He will stay in the UFC.

He is just doing the smart thing that any athlete should do, test the free agent market.

He's not if he wins this week then Volkov will be the one getting the title shot, or possibly cain, or god I hope not Brock. Even BlackBeast with a win could get a shot over reem getting a win.
