The NEW World-Class tournament style MMA league where Fighters become Warriors and Warriors become Legends!

Bellator, Latin for Warrior, began with the realization that the fighters and the competition between the fighters must be the central focus of any Mixed Martial Arts organization. With that in mind,we set into motion a new business model in MMA, where elite, world-class fighters will control their own destiny. In short, Bellator is a modern MMA tournament, bringing together a collection of world class competitors under one banner to fight for the right to call themselves World Champion.

While matchmaking plays a key role in the development and maturation of fighters at various stages of their careers (particularly early in their careers), once fighters become world-class competitors, our belief is that they should be able to control their own destiny.

Bellator is about the fighters and the fans. Its the fighters who put it all on the line each day, leaving every ounce of themselves inside the cage. And its the fans whose support and commitment to the greatest sport on earth provides us the opportunity to promote and broadcast events worldwide. At Bellator, our mission is to create, promote and produce the most exciting, competitive and entertaining Mixed Martial Arts competition in the world.
