UFC had the rights to match Bellator's offer and didn't.. that is pretty much the only reason why he is in Bellator.



I agree. This has pretty much been the speculation for a few months that he would sign with Bellator. Not saying Bellator pulled off a coup or anything. He is not a needle mover, and that is why they did not match. But they are going to start losing a lot of up and coming guys like Aljamain Sterling who are outspoken about UFC pay and the Reebok deal. Are they going to want to resign a guy who badmouths the company and its sponsors? Probably not. A lot of fighters might start using that as an "out". The people the UFC really wants to keep, they pay. The lower weight classes for the most part do not sell a lot of PPV, so I could see the UFC let a lot of these guys walk.
