The Three Amigos Podcast caught up with Bellator lead commentator, Jimmy Smith, who detailed a falling out with ousted president, Bjorn Rebney almost caused him to leave the promotion.
Jimmy Smith has been a staple in MMA quite a bit longer than his commentary tenure denotes. A veteran fighter himself, he also had a lead role on the History Channel's Fight Quest back in 2007. The spot launched him into a much more visible light in the community, and ultimately helped land him his current commentary/analyst role with Bellator.
Once upon a time, though, all was not right in Bellator wonderland, and Smith seriously contemplated leaving the organization.
