Bellator Signs Jorge Masvidal

According to reports from FiveOuncesOfPain.com, Jorge Masvidal is the latest fighter to sign with Bellator Fighting Championships, which is scheduled to starting airing fights on ESPN Deportes in April.  Masvidal, who has seen recent success with both Strikeforce and Sengoku, is among a growing number of fighters signing with the upstart promotion.

Masvidal will join Eddie Alvarez in the lightweight tournamnet, while rumours circulate about the other potential fighters.

FiveOuncesOfPain.com also recently reported on the negotiations with EliteXC bantamweight champion Wilson Reis.

Other fighters being looked at now include former WEC champion Paulo Filho, Hector Lombard, and most recently (according to Fighters.com) Nick Thompson.

Damn.

ESPN are most definitely not half-stepping.

Can’t wait to see how this shakes out.

Yeah now they just need Nick Thompson, Trevor Prangley, Tara LaRosa and Eric Pele and they can have a BodogFight reunion show!

They need 8 in each division

I’m sure they’ll have plenty of Latino representation, but I expect a solid mix once the full lineups are out

Monte Cox (his agent) wrote up a deal that basically makes Alvarez a perpetual free agent. He can fight wherever he wants.
