Bellator has been going all out lately when it comes to signing former UFC talent. After acquiring a former champion like Ben Henderson, they managed to pick up arguably their most talented fighter yet - welterweight Rory MacDonald. What happened next is a bit surprising though - the promotion signed former two-weight title challenger Chael Sonnen.
The press release from Bellator announcing Sonnen's signing stated that he wanted to fight in three different weight classes (which he dubbed gangster weight), and one of the specific names he called out was the aforementioned MacDonald.
