Bellator signed Matt Mitrione. Thats now two Bellator fighters who I'm kinda interested in watching.
Mitrione was a free agent, and decided to sign a 4-fight deal which also included the chance to work for Bellator as a commentator for a new kickboxing promotion that they are going to start. He's 37 yrs old, so even though heavyweights age better, its a good time for him to forget about titles, sign for more money, and go for a chance at a career after fighting.
edit: his new deal guarantees 6 figures per fight [Reply]
The New York General Assembly has scheduled a vote to legalize MMA next week, and everyone believes it will pass easily. The number of co-sponsors alone is almost a majority.
After the governor signs it (the NY Senate has already passed it), the NYSAC will have 120 days to get everything up and running, so that November event in MSG may actually happen. [Reply]
Anyone watching the freebie from Australia on Fox Sports?
I'm not familiar with anyone outside Hunt vs Mir, but that should be entertaining... I'm thinking Hunt walks through everything Mirs got and eventually lands one of those big hamfists [Reply]
