Over the past few years, Bellator has assembled one of MMA’s best welterweight divisions. Even if it doesn’t have the depth of the UFC’s – which currently includes more than 100 fighters – the Viacom promotion has put together a cast of elite talent that can rival anyone in the world’s. And what better way to make use of all those top level fighters than to put them all into one big tournament?
That’s the plan that Bellator announced during their recent press conference on the occasion of the U.S. launch of the DAZN streaming platform.
