UFC calling bellator the regional circuit

[Dertysandal]

"Will Brooks dominated the regional circuit for years."

Lmao did anyone else catch that at the introduction of will before commercial?

It is a regional circuit when you think about it, they travel around to smaller cities to put on events and always host local fighters on the undercards haha. I think it's strange that both Brooks and Held have struggled so much in the UFC, I think they're both better fighters than their records say but oh well the big show is where it matters.

It is a regional circuit and "masters" circuit wrapped up into one.

I can see Brooks getting the cut now

 

[mjmj]

Did he not?

That's an insult to regional MMA promotions.

Bellator is UFC's retirement home and they have a tv deal in America (and nowhere else). That makes them seem like more than they are.

They ran the undercard for the fourth biggest MMA promotion in little Ireland last week and they made a mess of it.

When he fought Olivera, Rogan said only that Brooks fought in "other organizations." I guess they're under orders not to mention Bellator on air. Bellator announcers, on the other-hand, are told to mention UFC as often as possible. LOL
