Bellator has quickly become a powerhouse in the mixed martial arts community and with all the recent cuts in the UFC, they can only grow stronger if they sign the right fighters. In order to sign some, they had to let some go as well, however.
Now free agent, ex-Bellator fighter Bubba Jenkins has shot back at the MMA organization. Posted on Twitter, Jenkins said that he has still not been properly paid for his bout with Georgi Karakhanyan at last August’s Bellator 160 event.
