Former WWE Superstar Jack Swagger Inks Multi-Fight Deal with Bellator MMA Boliever 11/14/17 (Tue) 20:26:15 No.84700

Bellator is getting some much-needed swagger.

Jack Swagger, that is.

The MMA promotion has signed former WWE star Jake Hager, better known by his ring name Jack Swagger, to compete in its heavyweight division, Hager announced Monday on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. Swagger said he’ll be making his debut in 2018.

Hager, 35, performed with WWE or its development territories for 11 years before being granted his release back in March. He’s a former WWE World Heavyweight champion and U.S. champion.

In legitimate competition, Hager was a standout at the University of Oklahoma as a wrestler. He set the Oklahoma single-season record for most pins in a season with 30 in 2006. He was also an All-American that year in the 129kg (285 pounds) weight class.

He can rest assured knowing there's no way he can do worse than punk.

Bellator's also got Bobby Lashley and Ken Shamrock on their roster, so I'm expecting a few matches between Jack and them

Chael Sonnen is moving up to heavyweight in 2018, so there's actually a good chance Sonnen vs Swagger actually happens.

That would be more like WWE vs Impact. UFC is the big leagues and only pure MMAfags know about its 'competition'

Bellator is a lot closer to the UFC than Impact is to WWE. Although some divisions are closer than others. And the gap between the two promotions seems to be getting smaller, not larger, specially after WME bought the UFC.

This hasn't gone unnoticed by MMAFags, just today Sherdog is featuring this article about "Hypothetical UFC-Bellator Crossover Fights"

Number 6 is Lesnar vs Lashley

I'm looking forward to Bellator's 2018 HW tournament.

Jesus, Fedor looks almost like Putin nowadays. His MPB has aged him to looking more like he's in his late 40s.
