WEC veteran Chris Horodecki (17-3) has signed with Bellator, and will debut at Bellator 47 against Chris Saunders (9-1). Horodecki went 2-2 in his WEC run, and was released by the promotion following his loss to Donald Cerrone at WEC 53. His last fight was a first-round submission win over David Castillo on an Ontario card in April.

It’s not Ben Saunders. Chris Saunders is a different guy.

Maybe.

Big step up in competition for Saunders. Horodecki’s faught some really tough guys and is no slouch anywhere. Good measuring stick for Saunders.

I was actually coming in to post the same thing. You even got the age on the dot. Well done sir.

I really hope Saunders can win this. Horodecki would just be another reason not to bother to tune into Bellator for me

never thought he should have been released in the first place. Horodecki isn’t the greatest but he’s solid and losing to a guy of Cerrone’s caliber shouldn’t be a make or break bout & I thought he might drop to 145 once they became UFC fighters….something else prompted the release before the WEC was folded into the UFC. Makes you wonder who will be cut (on a loss) prior to the SF merger.

When you can’t even pull off a Kalib Starne’s properly you get cut.

so when you do pull it off, you don't get cut?

most of the Cerrone fight was on the ground & his horrible team kept telling him to wrestle.

He should drop to 145, I think he just needs a new team.

It was just a joke, but realistically the reason he got cut is because the most exciting thing he did was get KO’d and was on a 2 fight losing streak. If you haven’t built a name for yourself in the company and you haven’t done anything exciting AND you lose then they don’t want you.
