Bellator MMA is going international starting next year, including the long-rumored trip to London.
For the first time in the promotion's history, Bellator MMA is headed overseas for its live product. In 2016, Bellator will head to the UK, Italy, and Israel, as company president Scott Coker confirmed in an announcement on Tuesday.
"We are thrilled to bring the incredible excitement of hard-hitting Bellator action featuring some of the best athletes in the world to our new global partners in the UK, Israel, and Italy," said Coker. "The London event is especially encouraging as we will broadcast the main card in the UK on one of the country's most-distributed broadcast channels, Channel 5.
