Signing a ‘life-changing’ deal with Bellator was a no-brainer for Saul Rogers

Saul Rogers has finally penned a deal with one of the world’s biggest promotions and hopes to debut under the Bellator banner early in 2018.

The Telegraph announced the UK standout’s signing recently, and it brought an end to two years of speculation regarding Rogers’ status with the UFC.

Back in 2015, “The Hangman” fought off four opponents to earn a place in the TUF 22 Finale against Artem Lobov – the only man who held a win over him until that point.

Rogers would not make it to the fight. Ahead of the contest, Dana White claimed the Brit had “lied on his visa application” and Ryan Hall was brought in as replacement for him.
