Bellator's Rebney: Fighters soon may see extracurricular restrictions like other pro sports

Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney sees a day when fighters are contractually restricted from dangerous activities, as they are in other professional sports leagues.

It may be necessary to prevent the recent scenario in which UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo was forced to withdraw from a headliner against Frankie Edgar at UFC 153.

"First of all, big Jose Aldo fan," Rebney on Wednesday told MMAjunkie.com Radio. "But second of all . really? You've got a major fight coming up."
