Bellator will make history next month when it becomes the first U.S.-based promotion to hold an event in France when it hosts Bellator Paris on Oct. 10 at Accor Arena.
“This is a monumental moment in the history of the sport, as well as our organization, and I am honored that Bellator will promote the very first MMA event in France by a major promotion,” said Bellator President Scott Coker in a statement. “Many people have worked tirelessly to bring this to fruition, and it would not have been possible without the support of the Minister of Sports, Roxana Maracineanu, as well as the French Kickboxing Federation sanctioning body.
