Recently, Bellator announced that they’re moving their programming to Showtime ahead of their planned April 2nd event. They also announced a light heavyweight grand prix that day, with a first-round matchup featuring Yoel Romero and Anthony Johnson.
Now, they’re introducing a rankings system as well.
In a press release that coincided with Bellator CEO Scott Coker’s announcement on the CBS Sports Network, the promotion announced that they will be working with independent company Combat Registry to create divisional and pound-for-pound rankings. There will be seven men’s divisions and two women’s divisions covered, and separate P4P lists for men and women.
