Everything indicates that the Bellator x UFC war is far from over. Recently, the athletes who make up Scott Coker's organization are trying to fulfill what has always been the fans' desire: a crossover between companies. Chris Cyborg, Douglas lima, Patricio and Patricky Pitbull, among others, challenged Amanda nunes, Kamaru Usman, Alexander Volkanovsky, Dan Hooker, respectively, and the current ball was Dustin poirier.
Upon learning that the North American, one of the top lightweights (70,3kg) in the UFC, did not reach an agreement to face Tony Ferguson, Patricky Freire took the opportunity to try to convince 'The Diamond' that Bellator is a good company and that it would certainly value him.
Imagine how cool MMA would be if when a promoter doesn't value their fighters they could go offer their talents elsewhere. Come to @BellatorMMA @DustinPoirier, I'm sure they'll make you feel appreciated and pay you what you deserve. And then we can fight 😁

“Imagine how cool MMA would be if the organization didn't value the athletes and allowed them to fight in other places. Come to Bellator, Poirier! I'm sure you'll be treated well, you'll get what you deserve and then we can fight,” Pitbull posted on Twitter.
