News PFL now owns Bellator - report

[Hellowhosthat]

Al's a reliable guy. Possibly Donn Davis might officially announce it on the MMA hour today.

So PFL runs Bellator as Bellator for two years while slowly integrating their roster into theirs where possible.

I'd like to think this could create some genuine competition but PFL has been awful to this point. Maybe they'll improve.

PFeLlator is 4 Real !

I don’t like it at all. Not one Fuckin bit.

ufc will have their whole roster by 2025

This changes nothing, no one can stop the King Dana!

minor league news. many fighters already released from their contracts, no showtime/paramount, what exactly do they own? the remainder of fighter contracts?

edit: Brazil and UK TV deals in place I guess. shrug

Big Frank on track to become the first undisputed and lineal HW champ in MMA! UFC/PFLlator HW champ, and the uncrowned HW boxing champ!



That Saudi money is no joke

Who got released?

released or expired and not resigned whatever. MVP, McKee to name a couple without doing minor league research.

Seeing Francis Headline a 1st qtr PFL ppv stacked with Belator guys. Strike while the iron is hot.

It's Purolator. No wonder they are so discreet with the business advertised to be a shipping services provider.

Only guys I have seen leave officially are MVP (which seemed to be a joint decision since they must have told him about the sale), Brett Johns (no loss and boring fighter), Jose Augusto, and Scatizzi

 

[Tweak896]

Maybe for Bader/Ngannou? lol

 

[BonyAcaiNogueiraBrothers]

Faillator hasn’t been good since Chandler won his first belt.

It was best when Lombard was on his juiced up reign of terror.

 

[Black0ut]

Why keep Bellator around? Just combine the 2 organizations.

I didn't say which McKee! j/k you're right. I could have sworn I read he was shopping around

Purolator is the worst in Canada, can’t stand those dog fuckers, I swear they stomp on every package
But i digress

Interesting that they’ll continue to run Bellator events for some time

Is Scott Coker still involved?

They have a TV deal in Brazil still I think, thats it... This seems more like a deal to get some fighter contracts.
