Interesting move by Gil, I wish the UFC would keep him because there are more interesting fights for him there. After Eddie rematches Chandler, he is dipping out of Bellator. Can't blame him for getting paid though, and Bellator will have to overpay to get a fighter like Gilbert.

I'm torn, on one hand I'm happy to see Gil get paid, but on the other hand, I don't want to see him leave the ufc (no knock against bellator, but there are better match ups in the ufc)

Gil is one the best and most exciting fighters in the LW division, the ufc better match the offer. But after what Dana said about the situation, I have a feeling they're not going to.

It's a smart move for Gil but he has no leverage with Zuffa. If anything Rebney seems to me overpaying.

so gil is banking on ppv points when they haven't had a single ppv, tv show appearances on spike so they'll probably book him on TNA impact like they did rampage,tito and king mo since its their highest rated show, and viacom movie roll,when spike has had shyttier movies than syfy:usure:

Well considering Bellator offered a higher base salary the rest of the deal are just perks

Dana has always been a dikkhead and a brute, but this year he is completely out of control. This Gil situation, calling out Overeem(even though what hes saying is true, he shouldn't be the messenger), trashing Pena's gym prematurely, the GSP shyt. Lorenzo needs to seriously talk to him

Obviously. None of them are seeing a title shot anytime soon but I'm not too sure they'd do the same as Gil. It would be huge for Bellator in regards to Nate and Nick.
True but that doesn't really impact Zuffa.

What has done wrong in the Gil situation?

:why:
calling out Overeem(even though what hes saying is true, he shouldn't be the messenger),
dude is paid to fight and is not only calling out retired fraudsters but is ducking ex champs with shaky confidence.Dana is well within his rights to name and shame.. :yeshrug:
trashing Pena's gym prematurely,
he heard it from the horses mouth and spread the word, its not like thats going to hurt the gym, did he fine someone I dont know about? :rudy:
the GSP shyt. Lorenzo needs to seriously talk to him
what gsp shyt, dude was wrong to announce he was fleeing under those circumstances..The guy is just shady as fukk, first its to do with personal problems like his dad and alleged baby mama.Now its cuz he thinks the sport is infested with roid cheats :camby:
