Pretty smart of PFL to take advantage of Bellator's overseas markets

Quite possible this fight isn’t officially a done deal yet. Shabliy apparently has said he wants a million if he wins and is awaiting a response from PFL.

Fair enough PFL should honor the tournament contract

I think PFL should honor the previous agreement, if they don’t want to do 1 million grand prixs afterwards, that’s cool but conclude this one
All of Bellator shows are going to be in Europe … they have to fulfill contracts signed before the merger

they said 2 will be in US and I guess like 6 in Europe.
I saw an interview of Donn Davis confirming Bellator as a Europe event … if they changed their minds ? Let’s see

Probably one Cali and one in Conn, those are the two main Bellator US markets.

Excited to see how Usman deals with a fundamentally sound and fast striker considering his last 3 fights have been some lower competition.
I like Shabily here, Usman hasn't been forced to fight outside of his speedy kicks and pot shots often but I feel like Primus despite being slow and relying on toughness showed there's some holes in Usman's defence and his offence isn't as potent when crowded. Shabily should have the feints and striking IQ to draw out those flaws without running into an unseen kick.
I'm leaning Shabily, I tend to favour guys who rip combinations instead of pot shotting but this is a great fight to see how elite these guys truly are..... not a knock on them but at this point Dan Hooker would've dominated Primus, Bendo and Patricky too so I'm excited to see them tested against each other now.

Seems like current Bellator champs will continue to defend their titles in these new Bellator events.
