It looks like Bellator MMA will be forking over a payment of $1 million to rapper 50 Cent.
For the past several months, 50 and Bellator MMA President Scott Coker have been in discussions with one another. Nobody knew exactly what the pair could’ve been discussing, with some fans speculating that 50 could be negotiating to actually fight for the promotion.
50 Cent recently fed these rumors by teasing a fight challenge towards Bellator heavyweight Rampage Jackson.
It turns out 50 Cent and Coker’s dealings may have simply been negotiations over the rapper’s “Get The Strap” catchphrase. 50 took to Instagram and announced Bellator will pay him $1 million for the rights to the catchphrase and to expect and see “Get The Strap” on some Bellator-related apparel:
It should also be noted that 50 had some interesting comments about Bellator’s recent announcement regarding their multi-year programming deal with DAZN:
Conor McGregor’s teammate Charlie Ward wouldn’t mind laying some leather on 50 Cent. Bellator 200 has come and gone. Ward was featured on the preliminary portion of the card. The SBG Ireland bruiser went one-on-one with Martin Hudson. The a…

Conor McGregor has never been one to shy away from confrontation, whether it’s physical or verbal.

Conor McGregor has never been one to shy away from confrontation, whether it’s physical or verbal.
During the leadup to his August 2017 super fight with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, Floyd’s on-again, off-again friend rapper 50 Cent decided to post his feelings on social media regarding McGregor.
The two have gone back-and-forth since then, with “The Notorious” firing back after the rapper made a post that has since been deleted saying he was ‘a decent fighter for a white boy’ about him online.
McGregor took it a bit personally, firing back at 50 with a seething online post full of several disses focusing on the star rapper’s age:
Happy international Women’s day everyone! Get your tits out for the lads ladies. We love you Superior genes my big ballsack mate. I am made of granite. You need a bra. You jabbed up fool.Hahahaha you should have stayed quiet and promoted that fight for me on the free like you did. But you just kept going with them fucking memes. Your 50, 50. 50 years old. Fuck off. It’s all love tho fifty serious, you are a mad bastard, but we still proper love a few of your tunes over on this side of the world.I even blasted one of them on the free walking into madison square garden to take one of my belts. It was called I run New York. @beatsbydre
What do you make of the beef between the two? Is it just a way for McGregor to stay relevant while he continues his absence from active competition? Or is the rivalry real?

UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock announced through a press release on his website that he’ll be duking it out against James Quinn in a bare knuckle boxing match, scheduled to take place sometime this April in the United Kingdom.
Here is an excerpt from the statement:
“Shamrock is in great health and feels invigorated by this opportunity to continue to compete and to continue giving back to his fans. Shamrock is going back to his roots as a fighter. Knowing his body well, Shamrock knows that his decision to re-enter the ring for the love of this sport is a sound decision. Shamrock adamantly believes that age should never be a restriction to any athlete. People can do amazing feats past their prime, if it’s a priority to them.
“Shamrock knows that bare-knuckle boxing is a sport with great potential to grow well beyond where the sport is today. His involvement in this sport is to show support and help its success.”
Now, apart from the hilariousness that is Shamrock building his entire website to announce this news, complete with sections devoted to limited merchandise, “Youth Outreach,” and “Shamrock’s Businesses” (including sections like Yes. I Am Learning The Stock Trade, the Shamrock Slam: Technical Fitness Drink, and Profit 101: Self-Defense & Fitness, all under the “Get Stuff” tab, we’re hoping this does happen (because at this point, who the hell cares anymore), yet we’re not exactly holding out for our hero…

Shamrock is infamous for no-showing fights, and other ventures he promotes. The former Pride, Pancrase, and WWE superstar is a repeat offender when it comes to ripping off promoters, like that time he was supposed to fight Ian Freeman, amongst countlessothermishaps.
Truth be told, we still think he cut himself backstage with a Mach 3 Turbo before his bout against Kimbo Slice at EliteXC: Heat back in 2008. There was slight hope when Shamrock last resurfaced on Canada’s Off The Record, as he and Tito Ortiz were supposed to dish out dirty secrets stemming from the UFC’s business practices. Instead, it was like going out with your two friends that dated the same person six years ago, and one of them is still complaining about how they never got back that ultra-rare The Jesus & Mary Chain sweater.
Also, it seems like “The World’s Dangerous Man” isn’t guarding 50 Cent anymore, presumably because Shamrock actually doesn’t know who he is, or tried to belly-to-belly suplex Tony Yayo in the studio when he tried to pass the dutch to Fitty.
Ok, that’s enough …. on to James Quinn …
Revered as a bare knuckle boxing legend in Europe, Quinn is a fighter and author, and he’s been in his fair share of WTF moments himself. Below is a fight against another well-travelled slugger, Paddy Joyce, presumably taking place where Jim Gillespie shot I Know What You Did Last Summer (check out the backstory on the fight and the rivalry between Quinn and the Joyce family provided by The Irish Mirror):
We’re sorry for showing you the same kind of unfair assault you’d find on World Star Hip Hop, but this is journalism, after all.
On that note, pretty sure this is going to be extremely depressing. We’re waiting on another MMA website that will be previewing the contest and providing a detailed breakdown of the fight.
see how l make something out of nothing. LOL
get the strap #lecheminduroi
