Very interesting. Dude is a beast and there’s literally no one for him to fight in Bellator/PFL.

The man is an absolute monster, but the article says that his deal expires at the end of 2025 , 23 months is a long time in this sport , he might not be the same person by then

I'd love to see him get some high level fights sooner than that -- hopefully he doesn't take too much damage in the interim.

Two years is a long time.

He's got Tom Breese who's just joined PFL.

Actually I just realised that Tom's at 205 now.

My bet is most of Bellator fighters are going fight out contracts and look to join the UFC. Get the vibe that most guys aren't digging being absorbed by PFL

Must wonder if a championship clause will come in?

Have you seen him blowing 85k on a onlyfans model? Dude ain't hurting for money.
