As far as breakups go, Ed West ‘s departure from Bellator MMA sounds like the start of a courtship, not a divorce. But sometimes in the pro sports world, athletes and their bosses part ways amicably – or mostly amicably. That appears to be the case with West and the California-based promotion. West (18-7 MMA, 4-3 BFC) on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that he has been granted his release from Bellator and will be exploring the free-agent MMA market, and Bellator officials confirmed the fighter’s release. “I spent three years with Bellator, and I had a really good time with them,” West said.
