Another UFC fan laid out the potential that prime UFC fighters have. They think that UFC fighters can decimate their Bellator counterparts.

Similarly, one fan gave a good future prospect. They said, “I’d be so down to see a bellator champs vs ufc champs ppv”.

Another fan wanted a President vs President match. The fan hilariously commented, “Him vs Dana is the fight to make”.

However, some were critical of such a prospect. One social media user said, “Tall that talk Scotty! In about 5 years we might see these fights.”

Moreover, one fan said, “You have fighters that went over there an became champions already.” Similarly, another fan added by giving ex-Bellator and current UFC fighter Michael Chandler as an example. They said, “Nah, I mean the perfect example is Chandler. They can compete but they cannot become champions.”

Furthermore, the comments section gave some interesting points and opinions. One fan said, “We need one championship vs ufc”.
