Joe Warren signs with Bellator

Bellator is getting all the good prospects at WW, LW and even stealing some FW.

No double standard. Good for them...but UFC or Strikeforce would be ideal because i don't like the "season" model that Bellator has....plus i don't get ESPN Deportes

I thought I heard that Bellator will be on ESPN now??? I think I heard that on Sherdog radio but I haven't been listening to it that much lately so I could be wrong. It would be awesome if they carried it on ESPN, it would increase their potential viewing area so much.

I pretty sure the second season will be on ESPN 2.

^^ That's awesome

It was on ESPN Deportes last season... I think

Where on earth does all this ESPN stuff come from?


The ESPN deal expired with last season. Fox Sports Net will carry Bellator domestically like they carried the IFL, NBC will broadcast highlights after SNL like they did Strikeforce, and the Spanish market has moved to Telemundo.

Quote :

Each of the four Bellator events being held at the Hard Rock Live (as well as the 20 additional Bellator Season 2 and 3 events) will be distributed live in prime time to 92 million homes by FOX Sports Net and its regional sports network affiliates. In addition, top moments from each week’s live events will then be condensed into an action-packed 30-minute highlight show broadcast every successive Saturday night, late night, on NBC. A one-hour Saturday night highlight show will air nationwide in Spanish on Telemundo.

That'll work too, as long as it's not exclusively carried on a spanish speaking channel that most people don't get in the U.S.

Bellator is kind of cool though how during their little season they hold an event literally every week or more.

This season model will be tested this year.
