Anyone think Bellator is more “legitimate” than the UFC now?

[PrideJitZoo]

In terms of how they handle championship/interim championship fights and matchmaking.

And before you shit on Bellator’s HW GP, at least there is a proper architecture in place where the winning fighter moves on unlike the circus matchmaking in the UFC lately.

Lord Chael > teh UFC

Ain't nobody know bout dat UFC shit dawg.

We be traneing bellator now son.

 

[Co-Co Zola]

I wouldn't know, I only watch UFC...bro.

 

[Maladroit]

needs more Shamrock, Dada 5000 and Royce Gracie fights

 

[AllAmericanNightmare]

Rory is the only legit fighter they have. Stop being controversial for the sake of it.

 

[Kalmah]

No.

 

[ftpngo]

legitimacy in match making means fuck all when you only have a small % of the top fighters. It's not like winning the bellator hw tourney gives you any credible claim to be the best in the world

 

[SuBB]

ufc divisions are too shallow, as long as bellator has the real goat MW gergard the ufc means shit now...

 

[Vil7]

I am more interested in the HW tournament in Bellator than anything recently in the UFC.

 

[Char Jawz]

They're prelims are usually littered with local fighters that have 3 or less fights and get paid $250-$1000 show/win money. Say what you will about UFC prelims, but at least it's mostly roster fighters, getting at least $10,000/$10,000 to fight.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

No, but its slowly catching up. Very very slowly.

[riitzni]

Stop it.

They're bush league and you know it. Same shit with Strike force, people gargling Coker's tiny balls simoly because they're the opposition to the establishment.

You edgy rebels have said a lot of dumb shit over the years for this bizzare cause. It's like NFL fans crowing about how much more legit the XFL is.

 

[Tylerl90]

Not even close.

 

[nevernamed]

Have you ever watched bellator? Does Chael Sonnen HW champ sound legit to you? lol it could happen

 

[MemphisMafia]

I think they both have areas they lack in. I do believe the UFC has gone the wrong direction since WME took over. They have no legit ranking system or way to make it through the ranks. It is this loud mouth show off against another.

 

[Kingz]

Coker doesn’t really give a shit about titles. He makes non-title fights and has champions fight out of division all the time.

The logical next Bellator LHW title match would be Ryan Bader vs King Mo..but the fight is happening in the first round of a HW tournament and there’s a good chance Bader doesn’t defend this year.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Has the OP ever watched Bellator?

 

[nanika]

no fight promoters are legitimate

from Don King , bob arum and al haymon to Dana white, bjorn and even coker.

it is a crooked business built on the exploitation of young people's dreams.

the fighters often make good money but the promoters always make great money.
