- For me (Bellator) is a great organization to work for. I'm there from the beginning, and they almost made ​​me be the fighter I am. I would not have gotten the exposure that I have or would I have your attention, and Bellator gave me this opportunity. Any negative opinion about Bellator now, I do not like to hear. They are doing great things and getting better.

Pat Curran has played ten fights in his current organization, with nine wins and one defeat. Before you go down the path of success in featherweight, had a passage by light-weight and was defeated by Eddie Alvarez then champion. Then Alvarez lost the title, and today in court fight with Bellator to get signing with the UFC.

- I can not put myself in the position (Alvarez) because I'm not there yet. Bellator gave me the opportunity to re-sign and renegotiate the contract, and we are in the process of renewing it. I'm talking to Bjorn (Rebney, CEO) personally and we are reaching a new agreement. Other fighters are in a different situation and would deal differently from me. But I'm happy to be with Bellator. They are taking great care of me and have no problem to renew the contract - said Curran.
