Here is a translation of what Pedersoli Jr. wrote, provided by Google Translate:

?After having made three matches at the UFC everyone with short notice, I thought I had given enough to the company to get another chance in the last match of my contract. That was not the case and in the meantime I received two proposals from other organizations. One of these two could not really be refused and so with great enthusiasm I announced my signature with the Bellator promotion. The treatment I was given, from every point of view, has gone beyond my expectations and I truly feel appreciated as never before in my career. There are great projects and I'm really excited to start this new adventure.?

Pedersoli Jr. went 1-2-0 in the UFC (11-3-0 overall) with the win coming over Brad Scott, while the losses came to the duo of Alex Oliveira and Dwight Grant.
