Bellator 209 already happened. In fact, it happened over 24 hours ago from the time I published this. Viacom has decided that MMA needs to be tape-delayed and literally impossible to watch legally unless you live in the country where the fight is taking place. If you were in Israel and attended Thursday’s event or watched it on TV, I hope you enjoyed it, because now the rest of us will finally get around to watching it.
The main event was featherweight champion Patricio Freire taking on rising contender Emmanuel Sanchez, while a rematch between Ryan Couture and Haim Gozali served as the co-main event.
