"Nate [Marquardt] was a dynamic in that we do things in a very specific way. We have a tournament format, you have to fight three fights to get there, nobody gets an automatic title fight. It's a different way to promote MMA, it's objective... it may not be the right fit for everyone. We just weren't able to fit all the pieces of that puzzle together to get it done." -- Bjorn Rebney Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney spoke with The Fight Nerd recently to preview the fifth season of Bellator FC, which debuts in New Jersey this September.

NOTE: Sorry for the lateness the past three weeks (later than what I normally do here), my internet has been garbage. Should be fixed tomorrow so I will be back to normal. At the post-fight press conference for Bellator 59, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney said that he would do his best to bring Kurt back into the octagon to fight again. Kurt Pellegrino gave his farewell speech afterwards, stating, "This isn't the way I wanted it to end," Pellegrino said in the post-fight press conference. "You know, walking up the stairs I wanted to honestly tell you that you guys would never ever ever see me fight again unless you're watching old tapes. It's just getting a little hard. I missed my daughter's first words, which were 'dad,' preparing for this fight." The above video is the full fifteen minutes of Pellegrino's speech, as well as answering questions from the members of the press, and asking his wife if he can fight again.

Now that Sengoku has been releasing an enormous amount of their staple fighters, Maximo Blanco is vying for a slot in an American MMA organization and last week it was rumored that Bellator signed the 'Venezuelan Vindicator' (I made that up). We asked Bjorn Rebney if he was signed with the organization and he admitted that he has been looking at Blanco, but nothing has been inked yet.
