after watching his last fight he deserves to fight for that belt. i’m glad elite gives him the opportunity to fight for another organization like this.

D’ya reckon Dream & Elite EX are paying these guys in the lower weight classes better than the UFC???
I think this could be the downfall of the UFC dominance - if all the other organisations allow their fighters to complete in any orgainisation…
I’m not sure whether that would be so great for MMA - it could end up very fragmented…
