Why is Bellator going head to head with the UFC again?

[KickWith3rdLeg]

I thought they both have a handshake agreement to not step on each others toes when it comes to broadcast times. I think this is the 2nd or 3rd tentpole event Bellator is putting on a Saturday during a UFC PPV this year.

I want Bellator to survive for many reasons, but it feels like when TNA tried to go head-to-head with WWE on Monday nights and paid big time for it. They are not as powerful as they think just yet, despite signing a few older big names fighters much to what TNA did (signing old Hogan, old Sting, old Big Poppa Pump, Hall, Nash - Big Country, Fedor, Mir, Mitrione, etc). I really hate using pro wrestling talk in the UFC forum, but i can't really find a closer analogy to each respective industry.

Simulstreaming is quite entertaining though not going to lie....

There's only 1 relevant fight on the UFC card.

And only 2 fights that are worth watching.

Tonight's Bellator > UFC.

I know its annoying, Bellator getting recorded again...

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Probably because they know the UFC is serving up a steaming shite on a shingle sammich for a PPV.

UFC is doomed to die. Russia will soon take over MMA

Because they are retarded.

If there was ever a situation where Bellator could win the head to head its this , maybe the worst PPV ever the UFC has put together vs a very decent free card but I still have my doubts , I don't know one person in real life that even knows what Bellator is .

Aaron Pico > Nunes vs Pennington

UFC on the television and bellator on the tablet. I don't give a fuck if bellator cuts into the UFC's profits.

How many fights out of freaking 19 on Bellator's card are worth watching?

Bader vs Mo is most likely going to suck, but not as much as Fitch neutralizing Daley and Kongo doing the same to whoever random heavyweight he is fighting. Nunes vs Pennington is an underwhelming main event, but it will probably have more action than those three fights combined.

For value alone the Bellator card is far better than the PPV the UFC is trying hype up. Also, if I have to listen to Cruz trying to get into a pissing contest or talk over the other announcer calling the action my attention will immediately shift back to the Bellator card. Give me Goldie's intellectually disabled mic skills over Dom's any day of the week.

Worked out pretty well for them this time but it is a stupid thing to do
They didn't know UFC 224 was gonna be so trash tho

It'll backfire more than help them in long run if they keep doing it.

I have no skin in the game, but Bellator has a better card tonight, and it’s free
