Along with UFC, Bellator is amongst the biggest MMA promotion in the world. The promotion has contracts with many MMA legends, such as AJ McKee, Patricio Pitbull, and Cris Cyborg. MMA promotions are supposed to be fair to their fighters and contestants. But recently, a ONE championship fighter, Eddie Alvarez, shared an ugly side of MMA on his Twitter.

Alvarez talked about Bellator on his social media. He wrote, “If fans only knew some of the stuff that happens behind the scenes. Playing Hood rat games with a Hood rat, winnings not likely.”

Bellator proposed Patricky Pitbull, a fight against Eddie Alvarez. According to Patricio on MMA Fighting’s Portuguese-language podcast Trocação Franca, Bellator offered Patricky free training for this fight and wanted him to beat Alvarez.

According to the source, Eddie Alvarez was set to compete in his last fight at Bellator and Bellator wanted Patricky to face him. However, the deal did not go through.
