Bellator Boss Thought Tito Would Cancel Tonight's 'Freak Show' Against Shlemenko
BJPENN.COM News - May 17, 2014
“I love the fight (between Ortiz and Shlemenko). I love the fight for that reason, I’ve called it a freak show and people say, ‘Why you do you call it a freak show?’ Because it is a weird fight, and we don’t get the chance to do that. We got the tournament format where a 205er fights a 205er. If I put Tito against some 205er you and I picked out of a hat in the top 25 or 30 in the world, I think everybody would have gone womp, womp, womp. But Shlemenko brings this weird intrigue to it.” Bellator President Bjorn Rebney is entering the world of pay-per-view tonight with Bellator 120 and his middleweight champion is welcoming a much larger Tito Ortiz to the promotion.

Rampage: 'Cormier needs to watch what he says before he gets smacked'
BJPENN.COM News - May 16, 2014
“Why do I care about Daniel Cormier? Is he in my league? He’s just talking ’cause that’s his boy. That’s what people do. I don’t think about stuff like that. That don’t bother me. I don’t care about what other people say. I know what I’m going to do to ‘Mo.’ I don’t care what Daniel says. Daniel can’t get in the cage and fight for ‘Mo,’ can he? OK.”

Bellator Boss Says PPV Providers Are Backing Them Against The UFC
BJPENN.COM News - May 16, 2014
“Oh yeah, look, the ROI on this, so far has been spectacular. It goes deeper than that, it goes to what is happening with the affiliates. The affiliates right now are looking at a situation where the WWE is pulling out with the WWE Network, you know, and also at the same time, the UFC is pulling out to a certain extent with the Fight Pass or Fight Network, or whatever they’re doing. Right now, we’re completely at home with those affiliates. So, the Time Warners, the Comcasts, the DirecTVs, the iN DEMANDS, etcetera, have really come on board to support this event in an amazing way. So, you’re seeing it everywhere. The radio, the TV, the digital print is everywhere. So, Rampage is supporting it, King Mo is supporting it, Tito’s doing a great job, Shlemenko, where he can now, in his broken English is doing a great job. I feel it and everybody who I know, that I’ve ever touched in the fight business, is coming to me going “Man, I see that thing everywhere. It’s big.” So, it is… The reaction to it is what I hoped the reaction to it would be and I think these guys are going to deliver.” – Bjorn Rebney via the enclosed video.

BJPENN.COM News - May 14, 2014
“My fight alone is going to be worth the pay-per-view. This is one of the few grudge matches going on right now in MMA where [the fighters] honestly don’t like each other.” “I’m going to put on an exciting fight, and I’m going to be coming at him the second the bell rings. I’m going to show Memphis that I’m the baddest fighter out of Memphis. I want the world to know. I’m going to be on him like white on rice, and that’s something that you haven’t seen me do in a long time. I’m going to dictate this whole pace.
