The cast of the new MMA reality show from Bellator & Spike has been announced. While it consists mostly of young prospects and journeymen, it contains a couple surprising names as well.
Georges St-Pierre mostly stayed silent during the UFC 158 weigh-in scandal. That is, until he spoke to French-Canadian media yesterday. And what St-Pierre said absolutely didn't help the situation.
Spike TV President Kevin Kay looks back on Bellator's first season on Spike and is pleased with much of the results. Yet the television executive acknowledges there's more work to be done by both parties to push the partnership where it needs to be.
MMAmania's Brian Hemminger offers a complete preview and prediction for Thursday night's Bellator 95 main card featuring a featherweight title fight and two season eight tournament finals in the featherweight and middleweight divisions.
MMAmania's Brian Hemminger speaks to Bellator featherweight champion Pat Curran about his hobbies outside the sport, his transition from underdog to one of the faces of Bellator and his upcoming title defense against Shahbulat Shamhalaev
Bellator season seven featherweight tournament champion Shahbulat Shamhalaev will be stepping up to fight champion Pat Curran just six weeks after winning the shot at the belt as he replaces an injured Daniel Straus, who's out with a broken hand.
MMAmania Brian Hemminger offers a complete preview and predictions for Thursday night's Bellator 89 event, which features a 135 lb. title fight and the season eight middleweight tournament quarterfinals. Who do we expect to advance? Find out below.
Former five-time champion Randy Couture may have burned his bridges with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), but the UFC Hall of Famer sees a silver lining with his transition back to Spike TV. Get all the details inside.
Last night's episode of 'The Ultimate Fighter 17' featured the surreally violent knockout UFC President Dana White has been promising for months. Watch the video here.
Spike TV and Bellator executives announced the details of their forthcoming reality series as well as the completion of a multi-year deal with UFC legend Randy Couture.
Looks like Randy Couture is getting some company on the set of Bellator's "Fight Master," the new mixed martial arts (MMA) reality show on Spike TV, including top trainer Greg Jackson and former UFC champion Frank Shamrock. Dis' gun' be good!
