don't see why the UFC would be interested after that performance and the shape he's in. Talk about plummeting stock

Yeah, he is just not motivated to do this anymore.

Bader vs King Mo has been added to the MSG show at Bellator, they'll be headlining the TV card before the PPV

He's still a name and it's not like HW has that large a talent pool anyway. Hell, it's 2017 and Mark Hunt and Pitbull are legit top 10 HWs. If he was halfway reasonable with his contract demands why not?

Because hes on the wrong side of his 30s not an exciting fighter and there might be some low key trust issues after the contract debacle? Given the Reebok deal I think it's safe to assume he'd ask for money he's not worth, at this point it sounds like he's either retired or will seek to be resigned by bellator.

MMA hasn't been as exciting lately. Don't know it just feels like there was a lot more going on this time last year.

I've been feeling the same way. There's been too many lackluster cards as of late. The last truly stacked card was UFC 205, which was about 5 months ago. Even FOX cards,which used to be very solid are now just okay.

The fortaleza card was entertaining enough, you either didn't watch it or were distracted when it was on

I meant on paper. That was an exciting card.

A lot of the main events we've had in the past 5-6 months have been mediocre. Even looking at upcoming cards, the only one that stands out is UFC 211. 210 has a solid main (DC/Rumble II) and co-main (Moose/Weidman) though.
