Bellator name change

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Spike is just the channel you're watching the SPORT of MMA on.

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

And that's why you're not in marketing.

"Bellator" = just an extra barrier between the viewing public and the sport

- So what's Bellator, is that like UFC?



P.S. Who says I'm not in Marketing?

 

[Tooth and Nail]

Bjornator.

Bellator has the best name of any active MMA promotion that I'm aware of. Why should they change it?

Maybe they can be Superbowl of Fighting. Would you like that better?

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

not sure why such a big deal was made about their name.

that is the absolute least of their problems.

 

[Seabeast]

Human **** fighting Championships.

 

[Heat Vision]

I fully expect "Spike MMA", to debut in 2015 in the first show of the new format of 16 shows year round

Spike owns it, they want to be their own brand. It can still be called Spike MMA on any channel you want.

I'm not even saying I agree with it, but I am saying that's what it's going to be called

On Viva your average fan is going to go "Oh, bellator changed their name to Spike MMA. OK" and still watch it. I doubt there will be outcries of "How dare they change the name of the product they own to the name of the company that owns it! I'm never watching it again!!"

Bellator Fighting Championship. Because all legit promotions have FC in the name.
