Late last week Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney denied claims that his promotion offered a contract to ex-UFC fighter Leonard Garcia. According to Garcia's management, however, that story is "childish and far-fetched at best."
The CEO of mixed martial arts' second-most important organization fired back at claims made by former Bellator lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez that Bellator changed his contractual language and are using him as a pawn in a war with the UFC.
Former Bellator champion Zach Makovsky accused Bellator officials of coercing him to fight for less than his contracted salary by threatening to sideline him for the second-half of 2012.
