Saturday marks the start of a brave new era for Bellator MMA. The promotion makes its debut on much-discussed and heralded over-the-top streaming service DAZN with a champion-versus-champion main event in Gegard Mousasi-Rory MacDonald. Legends Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Wanderlei Silva will make their rivalry a tetralogy in the co-headliner, and the start of Bellator’s welterweight grand prix sees former 170-pound champs Andrey Koreshkov and Douglas Lima make their own rivalry a trilogy.
