UFC fighters ringside on Bellator tonight

[Baconcandy12]

D.C, Luke Rockhold and Josh Koscheck sitting ring side on Bellator and Bellator puts the on tv...whats going on here?

Edit: everyone's getting butthurt, I don't think it's a bad thing but just found it strange since you know uncle Dana wouldn't show Bellator fighters sitting ringside at a UFC event.

 

[Mikedh]

What's the problem?

 

[VIP1349]

Watching some fights maybe?

 

[Roop Holstry]

Go on......

 

[Jas Hanz]

Some excellent career decision making there. Can't wait for the fallout.

I just found it strange they showed them on t.v. you wouldn't see UFC doing that with Bellator fighters.

 

[Scitney]

Just like the WWF/WCW invasion. Bellator gets more like pro wrestling each event.

 

[Amerikuracana]

Are MMA fighters not supposed to like the sport of MMA?

 

[Kingz]

I remember when this was a big deal at Strikeforce: Evolution

AKA teammates Ron Keslar and Nate James are on the card BTW. It's in Fresno

Since Bjorn Rebney was replaced by Scott Coker a new era of peaceful co-existence has permeated throughout the MMA world. Besides Dana himself attended a Strikeforce event years ago, why not fighters? Especially considering the fact that Daniel Cormier and Luke Rockhold got their recognition and early success thanks to Scott Coker and Strikeforce.

 

[Go Go Plata]

You must be new. UFC fighters are always seen supporting their teammates at other promos

 

[CC27]

Whats strange about it?

Just like you see Warren at UFC events cornering Jorgensen or Lima cornering his brother.

Arent they there for Honeycutt? Doesnt he train at AKA or with Kos and Kos/luke/DC are cool.

Keslar and James. I don't think Honeycutt trains at AKA but does with Kos. Keslar and James are long time AKA guys and it's in Fresno. Not a massive leap from San Jose.

I've seen, heard Rogan mention his name and heard Joe Warren himself(because hes so loud) on UFC fight cards.

Yes, Dana himself attended a Strikeforce event, It was Diaz/Daley. And Zuffa owned Strikeforce at that time.

This is bad because some top UFC stars, with pending ppv fights just gave the direct competition the rub. They weren't in the background cornering their buddies, they were in the crowd having some laughs on free tv. Not very smart if you want to stay in Dana's good books, and they DO want to stay in his good books.

 

[wompuscatwilly]

Not strange they were there but I agree with TS that UFC wouldn't do it.

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Er, "Ufc" Headliners...

It doesn't mean anything. However you think Dana feels about Bellator...it's nothing compared to how he felt about Strikeforce at the time GSP appeared cageside with then SF champ Gegard Mousasi at Strikeforce: Evolution. Dana's reaction, even with him being the king of unreasonable, was the same as most sane people...it was "So what? he was just watching some fights"

 

[DizzyYeahYeah]

Michael Chandler was cornering somebody in the UFC and Rogan said his name and that he was a top guy in the LW division.
