Sometimes when you’re teasing something big, less is more. That was clearly the thought in the minds of Bellator’s public relations team when it fired off a press release that landed in The Blue Corner’s inbox Tuesday.

“BELLATOR MMA TO ANNOUNCE INTERNATIONAL ATHLETE SIGNING”

That was the title, before going on to tell us that the promotion will unveil its latest addition on Thursday, but for now describing the new arrival simply as “a major new signing to their international roster of talent.”

Bellator helpfully provided two promo shots of the fighter in question, neither of which did much to reveal the identity, other than we can safely say it’s a man. Check out the photos here:

We put our best people (well, everyone on the early shift) on the case and came up with the following information about their new arrival:

He’s huge.

Clearly this man is a heavyweight. If not, then he’s got one hell of a weight cut on his hands before he makes his debut.

He’s hairy.

Nothing much to glean from that, but we’re reporting what we know, so there you have it. He also appears to have a noticeable lack of tattoos on his arm and torso.

He’s probably someone we’ve heard of, though we’re wondering if he might not necessarily come from the MMA sphere. He looks like a man who’s done a bit of powerlifting in the past. He could well be a former (or current) pro wrestler.

Could it be KSW’s Polish hero, Mariusz Pudzianowski? What about hulking WWE superstar Rusev? Earlier this week we heard a rumor that the son of the late “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Colt Toombs, had signed with the promotion, but Bellator officials said there was nothing to confirm from their end.

But maybe there is now? Who knows? Honestly, we’re grasping at straws and right now your guess is as good as ours.
