Corey Anderson reacts to Bellator brand being terminated

Corey Anderson has given his thoughts on PFL seemingly dissolving the Bellator brand following their purchase.

As we now know, PFL have officially eliminated the Bellator brand following their purchase in late 2023. It was confirmed by Donn Davis, with all events being branded under the PFL banner moving forward. One man who was always going to be impacted by that is Corey Anderson, the Bellator light heavyweight champion.

Anderson had a mixed career during his time with the UFC but under the Bellator umbrella, he was really able to flourish. He finally became a world champion, which is something that many always believed was possible for him.

Following the aforementioned news, Anderson had a few things to say on social media.

Imagine being the champion of an organization chilling on the couch and your wife walks in and tells you "did you see this? Bellator is dead now?"… and all you can do is shrug your shoulders in confusion…. CUZ you still haven't heard a thing. Lol
Yeaaaah, that was me.
