Does anyone else think that Zuffa is just trying to see what kind of budget Bellator (with their new partner Viacom) have? This is not a thread meant to question Eddie Alvarez's worth, just a thought that perhaps his contract negotiation is being used by Zuffa to feel out their competition's spending power. Perhaps Zuffa is intentionally quoting higher than expected amount of money, to see if Bellator can match.
Lastly, perhaps Zuffa wants to see Bellator use up their new Viacom-size budget as soon as possible, so that when a new unsigned prospect is up for grabs (or when a Bellator star like Chandler finishes out his contract), Bellator will have spent too much already and will not be able to come close to matching UFC's offer.
