    Scott Coker said that Bellator is not in the business of signing the O.G.s anymore, then 2 days later he signs Romero AND Rumble.

      Coker is saying UFC rejects, but Rumble wasn't rejected, the ufc wanted him back. It was probably because they don't know what to so with him, same goes for Yoel. They are stuck if they were around.
      Yoel would probably beat everyone ranked 6-15, stopping new contenders from coming up, and he's old.
      Rumble is trying to go straight for a title shot, and jones is playing with heavyweight, he doesn't want to fight Ngannou unless its for a belt, izzy wants to move up. A fight against Reyes, Glover, or Smith doesn't seem like a appealing return. Maybe Santos, but he is coming off a loss, wouldn't want to make it 3 in a row.
      Both guys just didn't seem to fit into the picture very well. It was just easier to let them walk than have them sit out for most of the year.

So with the UFC's testing, he'd have one too many PICO Grams! xD. Even Dana said; 'We would've loved to have him. but use your imagination!' . Rumble is a beast and we're all happy he's back!

      According to the USADA website hes had four tests this year. He was still under contract with the UFC from his 2016 deal. He needed six months of testing before he could fight.
      The only way its because of USADA is if he failed his last tests and all parties involved are covering it.
      Rumble isnt a cheap add. His last payday was a disclosed 500k. It very possible the UFC wanted to renegotiate now that the hes been out of the spotlight.

    IDK but I get the sense that Yoel makes rumble a bit nervous, or it’s the wrestling pedigree that was making him squirm. After all DC was Rumbles kryptonite.

    What rumble means by the “ younger” generation is the ufc wants to cut all the fighters who are a bit older with the massive contracts . Those fighters have those massive contracts like rumble they earned it! Ufc .( Dana) especially talks about loyalty but when it comes to the fighters they don’t have loyalty. This just shows the ufc could careless about their fighters who are a bit older and has a good contract that they have earned. The ufc just cares about money and the ufc looks at an amazing fighter like rumble who has a bit contract with the ufc . They can sign 10-15 new fighters , hardly pay them anything and in return they make way more money . Ufc is trying to get rid of the older big contract fighters to save money abs higher lots of new fighters which is wrong . You should take care of you own because fighters like rumble made the ufc 100 times the money they paid out to him . Sad world that we live in , every company is always trying to replace the people who earned their position/ salary and who put in the work to get where they are and once the company finds people who they can pay peanuts to do the same job your gone . Destroy these fools in bellator, I can’t watch you there

      Yes rumble earned his contract but then he walked away and signed as an ambassador for BKFC. Unfortunately it didn’t work out but he definitely didn’t expect the UFC to take him back on the same salary. No employer in any industry would..

      That's cause he know he's not elite enough. He's always come up short and would be lucky to be top 5 nowdays. At least in the B leagues he has a chance at becoming a champion.

    He keeps pushing back his return. I remember 2 years ago he was talking about BKFC and promoting them for a bit. Then the UFC a year ago, and now Bellator. Is he really coming back, or just trying to get people talking about him again? Idk, hope he does fight again. Maybe against Corey Andersen, first fight back.

    • @ciaranlynch2128
      @ciaranlynch2128 4 года назад

      He was working with bkfc , I think he said he wouldn't fight with them, he was an ambassador for them or something. He never said he was returning soon then, he just said he will eventually return. He talked about the ufc as he was always still signed with them , now he's talking about Bellator because the ufc let him out of the contract.

    As i see Rumble in this interview, and listen to him, between his facial expressions and what comes out of his mouth, i notice that his worst enemy is his mind or mental tuffness, he seems to battle with the ability to be a killer in the octagon. He seems to really have a great heart towards his competitors, but might have a problem with his on / off switch come time to transform in the octagon to a killer. If he can tweak that emotion at the right time everytime, he could be one of the most respected, at the same time sucessful fighter athletes, the world has
    ever seen!
