Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Pitbull recently issued a $1 million challenge, stating that he can beat any UFC champion.
A UFC champion did answer the challenge, with that person being UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, who said the following on Twitter:

Pitbull doesn’t like being called “easy money” and has promised to knockout Volkanovski if they were to ever fight each other:
I'll remember those words after I knock you out. Put your money where your mouth is @danawhite @ufc. Let's go @ScottCoker @BellatorMMA https://t.co/HJubTjTVIO

Between what is going on between Volkanovski and Pitbull, plus what Dana White said about the Bellator light heavyweight division, it seems like the rivalry between the UFC and Bellator is growing with each passing day.
