It almost happened this weekend.
This Saturday, Bellator 214 goes down from The Forum in Inglewood, California. Topping the event is a heavyweight title bout between Ryan Bader and the great Fedor Emelianenko, who just might be fighting his last fight. A co-main featuring super-prospect Aaron Pico sweetens the deal. It's a card any fight fan should want to see.
But there's someone who really doesn't want you to see it. You know of whom I speak.
UFC officials still carry the mindset of the scrappy upstart, battling opponents tooth and nail for any edge.
