PFL has acquired Bellator and it is likely that soon fight fans will be seeing the end of Bellator MMA. Long considered the second most prestigious promotion in MMA, there were some who ridiculed Scott Coker’s promotion for not having the same depth of talent as the UFC. Yet, Bellator has had some truly world class fighters amongst its roster over the years. What better time than now to look back through them.
Bellator completed their third trip to the Second City in a matter of twelve months last night with Bellator 301 and the night did not disappoint. From major star appearances like Nate Diaz to crowd stunning finishes and new champions crowned, these are the biggest moments from all the action last night.
Bellator returns to their Midwest home tomorrow night for Bellator 301 at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The night will be capped off with two world title fights, but first, the card needs to be made official and that all starts with the weigh-ins.
It's been a chaotic few months outside of the cage for Bellator MMA. Although reports exist regarding a sale of Bellator to the Professional Fighters League (PFL), nothing official has been confirmed.
Bellator 301 (Friday, 9 pm ET/ 6 pm PT, Showtime) from Wintrust Arena in Chicago is the final show of the 2023 calendar of events for the promotion and also the final event from Bellator to air on the Paramount Global-owned cable network.
Bellator lightweight fighter Mansour Barnaoui (20-6) is being accused of domestic abuse by his girlfriend. According to the French gossip news outlet, AQABABE, the allegations were posted on social media on October 27th by his girlfriend whose name is given as Joanne.
