Watch Bellator MMA Matches in a Town Near You
The second largest of the MMA organizations, Bellator started in Newport Beach, CA in 2008. While it might not be as large as the UFC, it is still a popular and impressive organization with some of the best MMA fighters in the world. The majority of the events they hold are held around tournaments. They have their best fighters vie for a spot to take on their champion for the various weight classes. Just like boxing and other fighting sports, they have a number of different weight classes for their fighters – bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight.
The fights are fast and explosive, and they are always very exciting to watch. The quality of the fighters coming into the group and receiving contracts is quite high today, and they have a number of fighters well worth watching. Some of the most popular include Emanuel Newton, Douglas Lima, Eddie Alvarez, Michael Chandler, Ben Askren, and Pat Curran. Of course, this is only a sampling of the fighters in their stables.
They have a number of fights throughout the year and all around the country. All of the events are full of high-octane excitement and they are well worth watching. One of their upcoming events on November 2 at the Long Beach Arena Convention Center promises to be particularly exciting. Bouts on the card that night include the Featherweight World Championship with Pat Curran vs. Daniel Straus, the Interim Light Heavyweight World Championship with Muhammad Lawal vs. Emanuel Newton, and Michael Chandler vs. Eddie Alvarez for the Lightweight World Championship.
The main event that night features fighters whose names you probably recognize, and may recognize even if you are new to MMA. The light heavyweight fight with Rampage Jackson vs. Tito Ortiz promises to be fantastic. You might recognize Rampage from his acting turn as B.A. in the latest incarnation of The A-Team on the big screen.
