Honestly, this could be a blessing in disguise. Rampage will throw one of his bitchfits and not want to fight anyone else unless they're riding a 1000 year losing streak as well, and the show could be moved to Spike, where there'll be a bigger audience to watch Curran / Strauss and Chandler / Alvarez II, two actual fights people will want to see.

Everybody wins.

Except Dana, he loses out on Chandler.. was it Chandler that was in the big contract dispute that was solved by Bjorn putting on this PPV?

It was Alvarez. Apparently the deal between Alvarez and Bellator now is that if Eddie loses to Chandler again he's free to go, but if he wins he has to fight the rubber match. Not sure now, though, especially if this card gets moved to Spike.

Bellator are having a conference call around now to discuss what to do. King Mo versus Rampage or something similar might be on the cards.

And it's official, the card is moved to Spike.

EDIT: I can't see them doing King Mo vs Rampage, as King Mo is fighting for the (interim) title, in a rematch from getting ktfo.

EDIT 2: Alvarez apparently still gets his PPV bonus.

Rebney: "We are going into the PPV space, but our competitors do PPV every 3-5 weeks if their card is good or not. We do PPV when our cards are spectacular."

I wonder whether Bjorn realizes that the Rampage / Tito fight being cancelled actually made their PPV that much better.
