Bellator announces championship rematch clause

Quote:

While fighters will continue to control their destiny in the Bellator cage, chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney has given himself some wiggle room.

The fight executive today announced a new championship-rematch clause that will go into effect with the organization's upcoming move to Spike TV.

When "called for," Rebney will have the option to book title-fight rematches.

Rebney said he listed to feedback and made the change.

"When a fighter's earned a shot at the world title by winning The Toughest Tournament in Sports and competes in a title fight that knocks fans like us back in our seats (win or lose) delivering an incredible fight, when a rematch is called for, we will deliver it." he wrote on bellator.com. "Championship fights give us some of the greatest moments in MMA. And, rematches of incredible championship fights will give fans like us more of those electrifying moments while staying true to the world’s best fighters having had to earn their way to those title shots."

AKA - "Were going to exhaust all of our talent and matchups untill they're drier then the Sahara"

Yay.

If i remember correctly not getting a rematch and being told he had to win a tourney to earn a title shot pissed Eddie Alvarez off.

Jay Hieron should have gotten one against Askren. I had him winning that bout.

too little too late to keep alvarez?

I certainly hope so. I am very anxious to see Eddie in the UFC.
