Vladimir Matyushenko signed the contract with Bellator. After defeat to Ryan Beyder on UFC on Fox 6 the 42-year-old Belarusian light heavyweight lost a workplace in UFC. Yet it is clear, whether "Uborschik" in the summer Bellator series of 2013 or will act later during the ninth season.

"Bellator is one of the greatest promotions in the world and for me it is honor to enter remove in communication", I told Matyushenko after signing of the contract. "I am optimistic and glad to cooperation with Bellator. I felt huge respect from Bjoern Rebni and all his team. To enter a cage of Bellator and to continue the heritage as the champion of Bellator it is the only thing that at me on mind."

"It met us", the president of Bellator Bjoern Rebni commented on a situation. "We sat with it at office and talked. We had really long conversation. Matyushenko is sure that at this stage of the career, this that place in which it will be able still to compete at very high level."

"In its record of 26 victories and seven defeats. If you look at names of those fighters to whom he lost — these are really big names. He lost to only good fighters and he considers that he still had gunpowder in porokhovitsa. It is sure that it still had some years in a stock to act at this level."

"Look at a light heavyweight. We have Emanuel Newton, Mikhail Zayats, 'King Mo', 'Babala' and other fighters. He well fits into a semi-heavy division. We have known fighters, and also fighters who can act at very high level about whom else nobody heard but which very quickly develop."
