In all seriousness, I agree that Roy (or Rory for that matter) has no business being on the prelims or tape delay. Honestly, it's stupid that the #2 organization in the world whose goal it is to give the UFC a run for its money even has tape delay in 2017.

As for Roy he use to be a draw when he was knocking fools out but when he spends most his fights trying to stall his way to victory and winds up dropping 7 of his last 10 in starts to dull his shine a bit. Roy is leaving the UFC with a negative record in the org.

Rory may not be a draw among casuals, but he is a big name among MMA fans. And considering how the UFC is replacing him with a bunch of can crushing nobodies that have even less name value that he did, I don't see how Bellator is losing with these acquisitions.

Rory, Bader, Davis, and Henderson are the most talented signings Bellator got but they paid more than they will ever be able to bring in. It's like when Strikeforce paid a ton for Dan Henderson and he never got raitings. They will make less money having them on the roster than if they never signed them.
