Bellator MMA vs Rizin was one of the biggest cross-promotional MMA events. Bellator MMA took the bragging rights as they defeated Rizin 5-0 in the main cards. This asks the question if we would see the UFC in such events.

However, the man in charge Dana White has a negative opinion of such a prospect for the UFC. The President denied any cross-promotional event for the UFC. So fans would have to wait for the UFC Boss to change his opinion if they want to see such an event.
