Bellator dumped its entire womens roster today too. If this pay per view flops, I would not be surprised at all if Bellator shuts down within the next year.
As great as Chandler, Alvarez and Askren are, Uriah Hall is a bigger Twitter following than all of them and he's just a runner up on the Ultimate Fighter. I know Twitter isn't the best indicator of popularity, but it does show how much better the UFC is at getting new fighters exposure and creating stars compared to Bellator.
