Jay Hieron isn’t re-signing with the UFC after all.
After patiently waiting for his Strikeforce contract to expire, many expected the veteran to come to terms with the organization he fought for in 2004 and 2005.
However, late Monday evening, upstart Bellator announced that they had signed the former IFL 170-pound champion and that he would be a part of their Season 4 welterweight tournament in 2011.
