Agreed…. They knew the only way for Patricio to relinquish his title was letting his brother fight for itUtterly shit title fight but at least it gets the division moving.

Keep Mix vs. Gallagher as the main, get that Conor rub off.Will this be the new main event? or will Mix vs Gallagher still be the main event?
Anything is better than an inactive champ, at least we will get the division going and sets up for potential interesting title fights for 2022. Mainly, Shabliy vs Goiti as title eliminator or Primus vs Benson. Also, opens the possibility of signing Tofiq Musayev when he enters free agency in 2022 for a title rematch. I think an instant titleshot for Tofiq as the rematch can sway him to sign with them rather than other promotions.Utterly shit title fight but at least it gets the division moving.
I think it’s just them taking advantage of the fight being in Ireland and Patricio vacating the belt. Things just lined up this way. I don’t think this was anyone’s first plan. I will admit Queally getting the belt would not look good for Bellator.This is a fucking joke that makes Bellator look so bad. I know that some people don't like Sid Outlaw, or whatever, but this just makes a mockery of the division. No one can accuse me of being a Belllator hater, but this is outright stupid and the definition of shooting yourself in the foot.
It wouldn't look better if the champ was coming off of 2 straight losses while only having to beat Queally for the belt either...I think it’s just them taking advantage of the fight being in Ireland and Patricio vacating the belt.

Pitbull brothers are Bellator legends I’d look at it as a favor to them. Patricio had to vacate to let this happen anyway so I’d say it’s the right move given the current situation. Let’s get the division moving.It wouldn't look better if the champ was coming off of 2 straight losses while only having to beat Queally for the belt either...
If this is the second plan there should be a third plan.

Horrible news really
Only with Bellator can people be offended that a #1 vs #4 match-up is for the title. A ready made rematch due to the ending of the first fight. No one on the roster is as over with a crowd as Queally is in Dublin. That atmosphere will be incredible. Adding a title to it adds even more.
Some would literally scrap that to have a fight featuring Outlaw or Shabliy in Connecticut. Crazy to me.
Queally would be one of the most ridiculously average world champions ever, that's the main issue.
I agree but it is the right move. Queally is a bit of a name in Ireland and it sets up for AJ vs Patricky, which is an easy sell.This is a fucking joke that makes Bellator look so bad.
