Is saying Bellator a no-no?

[muaytao]

Every time they talk about bellator they say another organization...

It's the WWE method. Don't acknowledge your competition exists

Prodction meeting: "listen you fuckin goofs nobody fuckin talks about Bellashit or your fuckin fired"

 

[Mammothman]

Why would they give free publicity to the rival promotion?

lol I've noticed that too. I remember Joe would always talk about Pride and K1 before UFC bought it. I always wondered if that was a no no, but Joe didn't seem to give a fuck.

i heard dana say WSOF a couple times but never bellator.

On the other hand, I think I've heard Jimmy Smith (Bellator commentator) mention the UFC a few times during Bellator events but I could be wrong.

if they didnt want to acknowledge bellator they shouldnt be talking about this "other organization" in the first place.

If Bellator wants advertisement on the big boy stage, they can pay for a spot like everyone else.

I think Dana has a relationship with WSOF and RFA. There like unofficial feeder leagues.

WSOF is technically owned by Zuffa. This has been known for a while.

 

[thedevious]

They did that for SF before they bought it, I believe. I could be wrong.

Joe Rogan has said Bellator plenty of times on the air.

I'm pretty sure Joe Rogan mentioned Bellator when Alvarez was walking in before the Cerrone fight.

He stopped with mentioning Pride after they didn't co-promote per Dana's request hence the "Japan" fighting league was born.

I guess now Anderson should "Go to th men's network where the competitions a little bit easier."

IIRC they have mention Legacy a lot of times too

They want to build him up without being specific
