Bellator SUCKS sometimes...

Bellator better THINK...

Im going to start off by saying that Bellator better get their feces together now and not waste one second. Bellator has been hot as can be over the past few weeks until they decided to go with Joe Warren as their main event. Now, just days before Bellator 42, Paul Buentello has pulled out of his main event fight with their heavyweight champion, Cole Konrad. It has been noted that their ratings are going down, and now we don't get to see their World Champion? They are not even going to give us a replacement for Buentello? What the hell is going on there?

Now, with there ratings dropping, the last thing they needed was Buentello to pull out. Is it because Buentello draws a lot of fans? No, its because we do NOT get to see Cole Konrad. Not only this, but do you notice that Bellator's card never seems final until the day of the fight? Hell, you cant even see a event poster for the show until like the day before hand. Bellator's organization ability as a whole just sucks to the fullest to be frank. I am not sure why they choose to run their company that way, but they do. So now, we get an event that typically only has six or seven fights anyway and take away the main one.

Bellator just needs to get their stuff together if they truly want to be a major player in this industry. They can say that they are not competing with the UFC all they want, but the truth is that they ARE. This is Mixed Martial Arts and every time you create a company for it and put it on television, you are trying to be a major player. That means that you compete for talent and right now Bellator is losing. How long do you think that people like Cole Konrad is gonna put up with this type of unprofessional ism? The truth is that if he was in the UFC, the UFC would immediately come up with a replacement for the fight.

Will the Bellator company? My boy Johnathan Ivey is out there! Why not him?

The bottom line is that top to bottom, Bellator is unorganized and despite having the lower grade talent that they have, they don't seem to care. I give Bellator ONE YEAR and they will fold. Will the UFC buy them out? HELL NO! Why would they? I think that Bellator will fold on their own. They barely got good talent as it is, so taking them out of the picture by not replacing guys like Buentello is just stupid.

Lets look at their talent pool and compare it to ZUFFA's...

Heavyweight Champion, Cole Konrad...Would he beat any of the top 15 Zuffa guys? Hell No. Let's look at Hector Lombard. Is he good? Hell yes he is, but the truth is that he would have trouble with most middleweights in ZUFFA. Could he beat Silva? No. Nor could he beat Nate, Bisping, Maia, Jacare, Munoz, or anyone else that is considered at the top of the game. Ben Askren would get handled by GSP, Shields, Fitch, Penn, Koscheck, Sanchez, and so many others. His cocky attitude would make him several enemies ready to knock his head off.

Eddie Alvarez...now he is different. Could he beat Edgar or Gilbert? I do not think so. However, he is the one HUGE bright spot. Good job Bellator, but the truth is that he will end up leaving soon regardless of what has been said. Especially if you do not replace his opposition and he misses out on fights because of your lack of organization. Joe Warren? Give me a break.

Im not even gonna talk about anyone else in the company.

Other than Jay Hieron. Jay needs to get his ass back to the UFC as soon as possible.

Why? Because Bellator's office, simply sucks....NO ORGANIZATION...simply sucks...

Now, I know I will get haters that are calling me a Zuffa Zombie, but you are simply wrong. I just call it like I see it and to be honest, I LOVE companies outside of Zuffa. I just think Bellator has a horrible formula of not organizing in advance as much as they should. Lets look at their roster...

You tell me where the talent is....Ill put a (KING) next to the one's that I think truly got talent. Is this meant to fighter bash? No...its simply saying that Bellator is barely breathing to begin with..Their lack of organization will hurt them. I will also put a side note saying who I think a few fighter's next fight should be...FREE AGENTS ONLY...If I ran Bellator, the following fights would be signed immediately...
